Top Ten Tuesday: Latest Books That Have Made Me Laugh

Hello, all!

It's Top Ten Tuesday by The Broke and The Bookish! This week's topic is Top Ten Books That'll Make You Laugh. I'm sharing my more recent books that have made me laugh!


In no order...

10. 44 Chapters About 4 Men

Witty, sexy, and wildly enjoyable! I'm not a memoir fan, but I loved this.  

9. Sustained

Loved, loved, loved this! The cast is fantastic, the romance swoony, and how can you not adore Jake?

8. Appealed

Almost as good as Sustained! I love Emma Chase's writing. So fun and addictive. 

7. Forever Pucked

This series is either adored or hated, and I'm firmly in the "adore" category. It's the perfect junk food read!

I literally cried laughing while reading this. There was one season towards the end where I just had to set the book down, because I was laughing too hard to breathe.

6. Big Rock

A quick and easy read, full of humor and heat. I've fallen in love with the male POV this year!

5. Seduction and Snacks

At the risk of sounding like an obnoxious preteen...LOLZ!

4. The Dirt on Ninth Grave

One of my all time favorite series! Charley's off the wall humor kills me every time. The girl has perfect timing on her comebacks. 

3. Nuts

Sigh. Is there anything sexier than a man who can cook?

2. Lick

Yeeaaaah...I know. Hush. We all have our vices!

1. Screwdrivered

A novel where the heroine is a romance reader! I cracked up with this one. Clayton's always good for a laugh!

Members Only - What's Wrong With Erotica, Part 3

Hey, everyone!


It's time for the third installment of my What's Wrong With Erotica series! This time around we're talking about settings, those "titillating" scenarios designed to turn the heat up, but in reality are about as sexy as socks with flip flops. I'm sure y'all are familiar with a few of these gems!
As per usual with the posts, it's about to get crass in here.

A Virgin on The Streets and a Freak in The Sheets

Without a doubt, this is one of the most popular plots for erotica. You know the one I mean: The pristine, mid-20s innocent virgin who's never so much as masturbated or looked at porn (bitch, you lie like a dog) who falls for a sexy manwhore. Bonus points if he's a m/billionaire. 

He suddenly forgets all the other woman in favor of this one, and she's perfectly okay with his dirty past. They immediately get to the fucking, with almost no buildup or chemistry, and they go about it bareback. Because you know, what's a little genital warts or chlamydia in the heat of the moment....

But I digress.

This virgin takes to sex like a fish to water, and I don't just mean in an enjoyment way. I mean full out, "are you sure you weren't a hooker in a former life" sex kitten. That 10" cock that rivals a soda can for thickness? Deep throating on the first go. Anal? Don't worry, she's wet enough you won't even need lube! A bit of dabbling in BDSM? She puts a well seasoned sub to shame. Public sex? Sounds appropriate for her second time!

Rescue Me and Claim Me Your Prize

Ah, the Disney scenario. Girl needs saved from something (family, bad situation, her past, herself, ect) and she can't possibly do it on her own. No, Price Sexy needs to come in and sweep her off her feet. How ever will she repay him....?

50 Shades of BDSM

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but chains and whips...don't excite me?

This one is often tied into either A Virgin on The Streets and a Freak in The Sheets or some kind of kidnapping thing, and features a very savvy Dom and a new-but-somehow-totally-experienced sub. With floggers, nipple clamps and butt plugs abound, this scenario is sure to excite your inner Ana.

I am so over the S&M craze! It's not usually my thing (sadistic I am, masochist I am not), and the writing is often cringeworthy. I'm no Domme or sub, but even I know some of these things are completely ridiculous. 

However, there are a few absolute goldmines for good D/s erotica. Sierra Simone's Markham Hall series and S.E. Reign's 101 Nights.... Holy shitballs, yes please!

What about you? Which is your most cringe-worhy setting?

{Book Review} Big Rock by Lauren Blakely

From Goodreads

It's not just the motion of the ocean, ladies. It's definitely the SIZE of the boat too. 

And I've got both firing on all cylinders. In fact, I have ALL the right assets. Looks, brains, my own money, and a big c*&k.

You might think I'm an a*&hole. I sound like one, don’t I? I'm hot as sin, rich as heaven, smart as hell and hung like a horse.

Guess what? You haven't heard my story before. Sure, I might be a playboy, like the NY gossip rags call me. But I’m the playboy who’s actually a great guy. Which makes me one of a kind. 

The only trouble is, my dad needs me to cool it for a bit. With conservative investors in town wanting to buy his flagship Fifth Avenue jewelry store, he needs me not only to zip it up, but to look the part of the committed guy. Fine. I can do this for Dad. After all, I’ve got him to thank for the family jewels. So I ask my best friend and business partner to be my fiancée for the next week. Charlotte’s up for it. She has her own reasons for saying yes to wearing this big rock.

And pretty soon all this playing pretend in public leads to no pretending whatsoever in the bedroom, because she just can’t fake the kind of toe-curling, window-shattering orgasmic cries she makes as I take her to new heights between the sheets.

But I can’t seem to fake that I might be feeling something real for her.

What the fuck have I gotten myself into with this…big rock?

BIG ROCK is a standalone, dirty romance novel written from the guy’s POV by NYT Bestselling author Lauren Blakely…

My Thoughts 

4.5 "Sinfully Sexy and Sweet" Stars

I tell myself not to panic prematurely. This is what friends do for each other. They pretend they're going to marry you when you need them to. Right?

I bought this book because I thought it said "big cock" at first glance, and that, combined with the cover hunk, set my inner pervert all aflutter. 

Okay, and the ratings for it were really highly. But mostly for the first thing.

I've been in the mood for light, funny, sexy times lately, and this book was exactly what I wanted. It was the perfect mix of hilarity, smut, and plenty of sizzling chemistry. I was giggling throughout the whole story, and fanning myself during the epic sex scenes. 

"How do you get yourself into these situations?"

"I like to think it's my wit and charm, but in this case, it might have been my big mouth.

The all guy POV was something I haven't read in quite a while, and it was very well executed! Our protagonist, Spencer, was a refreshing take on the typical hero: rather than a brooding, using manslut, he's a happy and gentlemanly (sort of...he's still a delightfully dirty bastard ;)) manslut. 

Much to my happy surprise, his whorish ways are really only mentioned in passing and as backstory, and we don't see any of his slutty ways aside from a few of his comments. That was a pleasant change!

This is the end to my Saturday night. My cat has watched me whack off to a vision of my best friend. 

"Don't say a word," I hiss.

He looks away, lifting his chin haughtily. But he'll keep my secret.

I'll keep his too, the fucking little voyeur. 

The chemistry between Spencer and Charlotte was off the charts. I'm a sucker for a good friends to lovers story, and Big Rock is pulled it off flawlessly. There's history and familiarity between the two, with the sort of easy back and forth banter that kept me smiling and rooting for them over the course of the story. 

The sex is smokin' hot. The story was fun and funny, but the sex was the icing on the cake!

I burn up all over as I watch her. I am comprised of nothing but heat. Her lips. Her eyes. Everything. She is my fucking everything. 

The book is a bit predictable and straightforward, but it worked for it. These kinds of rom-coms don't really need an intricate plot with tons of twists and world building; it's dessert, not a nutritional meal. I want to just sink into fun, sexy times, and that's exactly what happened!

I've broken the biggest ground rule of all. I've fallen in love with my best friend. 

Big Rock moves along at a good clip and primarily spans a week's time. I was eager to get back to it when I was forced away, and it was a very quick and enjoyable read.

Overall, Big Rock is a delightfully fun and romantic story with a charming hero, a funny and relatable heroine, plenty of sex and banter, and zero angst. Highly recommend!

{Book Review} Seduction and Snacks (Chocolate Lovers, #1) by Tara Sivec

From Goodreads

Claire is a twenty-something, single mom that grudgingly helps her best friend sell sex toys while she attempts to make enough money to start her own business to give her foul-mouthed, but extremely loveable (when he's asleep) toddler a better life. 

When Carter, the one-night-stand from her past that changed her life forever, shows up in her hometown bar without any recollection of her besides her unique chocolate scent, Claire will make it a point that he remembers her this time. 

With Carter's undisguised shock at suddenly finding out he has a four-year-old son and Claire's panic that her stretch marks and slim to none bedroom experience will send the man of her dreams heading for the hills, the pair will do whatever they can to get their happily ever after.

Warning: contains explicit sex, profanity and enough sarcasm to choke a horse.

My Thoughts

4 "Hilarious Cure For The Angst" Stars

I read Fisher's Light by Tara Sivec early last year, and was blown away by the beautiful, unique story of love, loss and redemption. I've had her Chocolate Lovers series on my TBR for months and months, but only just got around to reading book one. I have no idea what I was waiting for, because this was one of the funniest books I've ever read! The characters and writing style reminded me a bit of Alice Clayton's books, which are some of my favorites. 

Don't go into this book expecting tons of depth, seriousness, and mature adults doing things by the book. You'll be disappointed if you do. The story is the opposite of that, and I couldn't be happier for it. 

My inner 12 year old was cackling at the perverted humor, the epic swearing, and the truly hilarious title chapters. My adult self admittedly flushed at the simmering sex scenes, and swooned over the way the hero interacted with his son. I want Claire for a best friend, and I feel the sudden urge to gorge myself on chocolate (though that would not be wise, since I don't eat sugar.). 

It has been a long time since I've laughed until I cried while reading, and Seduction and Snacks was exactly what I needed. I was doing this weird laugh/cry/snort thing throughout this story, laughing my ass off at nearly every page. The humor alone marks this as a must read for me.

I loved the subtle and sometimes not-so-subtle jabs at traditional romance novels, like this bit here:

My breasts were heaving and my loins were quiverings.

I HAD QUIVERING LOINS!

I enjoyed all the characters; they all had great chemistry together and each had their own quirks and personality that created a well rounded group. They're not especially deep, but neither is the story, so it worked well for them.

I could be a dirty slut; I could be dirtier than a hooker at a gang-bang.

Okay, maybe not that dirty.

Claire was someone I connected with and wound up admiring. Looking past all her hilarious fumbles and filthy humor, she's really made something for herself and her son, while still retaining her sense of self, and she had an honesty about her I couldn't help but love.

Her son, speaking of which, was a riot. He reminded me so much of my youngest sister, and I loved when he had page time.

Carter was a sweet, funny and endearing hero, one who adored his son and had a great connection with Claire. His eagerness to learn and help was both charming and adorable. 

Their chemistry was off the charts, and the sex scenes were to die for.

The words "penis" and "vagina" are used more times than I can count, and a few times it bordered on ridiculous. And, you moron, you're speaking about your vulva, not your vagina. It worked for the most part, but it did aggravate me a few times. 

It's told in dual 1st person perspective, and the Claire/Carter switch off wasn't marked. Their voices were distinct, but I still found myself wishing we were told who's who right off the bat. 

There's a lack of commas in the book, along with a few other punctuation issues. Not enough to take away from the story, but enough for me to notice a theme.

"Jim, would you rather have your porn name be Hugh G. Rection Mike Unstinks?"

I laughed so hard I cried when I read this gem. I told you I had the humor of a 12 year old.

There is 0 angst in this story, despite the single mom/long lost father plot. It was light, fluffy, and sidesplitting funny. If you're looking for a humorous, sexy read that doesn't ask much of the reader, I highly recommend. I'll be delving into book two soon!

Phallic Fumbling: What's Wrong With Erotica, Part 2

Hey, ladies!


Back in November, I wrote a post called A Dick By Any Other Name (Or, What's Wrong With Erotica). It was about my little annoyances when it comes to romance, especially erotic romance, and focused mostly on the absurd names for genitalia. It's my most popular post to date, and one I had a ton of fun writing! So fun, in fact, that I'm doing another one!

I almost titled this "The Twat Thickens: What's Wrong With Erotica, Part 2". I decided against it. You're welcome. 

 If you can't tell, this post is very much adult content. Let's jump right in!

How Not To Describe His Junk

There's dozens and dozens of ways smut authors have described the wonders of the cock. Some are tolerable, some are cringe worthy, some are completely laughable, and some make me wonder if the author had the foresight of Googling the definition of the word they used. Here are a few of my "favorites". You'll see why.

Ropy - 

Perhaps I've been reading too much porn, but the only thing I can picture is some BDSM bound dick.

Veiny -

Ugghhhhh. This one is usually used during a blow job, often with teeth grazed along "pulsing veins". Hope you don't knick that thin skin, darling.

Swollen -

I picture a swollen bug bite on this poor man's penis.

Tumescent -

It sounds like either antacid medication or a paint color.

Slick-

Ew.

Springy -

He dick springs from his boxers! His penis sprang forth! His manhood springs up! We might as well call his dick Tigger.

Bulbous -

I can't even describe how furious this word makes me. It's worse than moist.

How Not To Describe Her Junk

I covered most of these in the last post, but I've come across (yes, I will use that pun until the end of time) a few more since then.

Muffin -

Wrong on so many levels.

Canal -

Oh look, her pussy comes equipped with its own gondola ride. 

Honey pot -
*immediately quits the book*

Liquid heat -
This just sounds weird, like something that goes in a car.

Getting Down and Dirty: How Not To Describe It

Some of these just leave me shaking my head in a mixture of horror and total awe that someone is using it, and okay with it. 

Shagging -
Okay, I actually find this one hilarious and don't mind it at all. Perhaps it's because of one of my favorite British book boyfriends uses it. Bones can make anything sound good....

Bumpin' uglies -
Not only does this sound vile, the stars of these little trysts are always absurdly attractive. It just doesn't make sense.

Doing the deed/the nasty -
I have no idea why, but "doing the deed" sounds like you've completed a hit on someone.

Piercing through her flesh -
Are you getting fucked or having your clit pierced? Enlighten me, please.

A chorus of heated moans -
Smut so often ventures into the purple prose field.

Stroking/stabbing/sliding through her walls -
Walls are vertical, and form a box shape. Your vagina is not box shaped.



There will be a part three in the next week or two! Share your best (or worst!) smut segments below!

Confession Time

Hey, ladies!

Hope you all had a great weekend! Mine was pretty good, with one long work day and a great lazy day of reading.

We all have our own little quirks when it comes to reading. Whether it's a guilty pleasure or your weird OCD tendencies, everyone has their own quirk. I'm always curious to read these types of posts when others do them, so here are mine!

1. Bookmark? What bookmark?

I hate bookmarks! I always loose them, and they inevitably fall out of my book and make me miss my spot. 

2. I shamelessly dog-ear...but only the top right page

My books are full of dog eared pages, and I love the way it looks. You'll only find the pages turned down on the top right page, though! It drives me nuts when I check out a library book and the left pages are dog eared, or the bottom right. I'll furiously try and smooth them out.

3. I love friends to lovers romance

Few things make me swoon quite like those friends to lovers reads, especially if they're between best friends. I think it adds a beautiful, unspoken layer to the novel. It adds tons of backstory without sacrificing pacing.

4. Greedy, greedy, greedy

If I really love a book or series, I want the physical copy, eBook and the audiobook.

5. She can't sit through 3rd person

I've passed on so, so many books that are written in third person perspective. It almost never holds my attention! I can never get as absorbed in them, and they're always more face value to me. 

The one exception would be J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series, aka crack.

Replace sleep with a 3rd person book, and you have:

6. I demand happiness!

I don't mind angst, for the most part. I don't mind being put through emotional hell during a story. I don't mind bawling my eyes out. However, I need their to be a happy ending after all is said and done! No killing off the main characters, no couple splitting up, and absolutely no dead pets.

7. Lazy reviewing and lenient rating 

Ha! I wish. I review maybe 10% of what I read. It's quite pathetic. I chalk it up to being lazy. I also don't tend to review books I've given less than 3.5 stars. Unless I feel very strongly about it, why waste more time on something I didn't enjoy?

8. I'm sorry, what was that again? I was too busy staring at your gorgeous body.

I'm stealing this one from Joyous Read's confession post! I so often read books where other reviewers rave over the deep message and plot, and I'm over here swooning and drooling over Mr. Hunk-a-Lick-It. 

I read this:

And then I hear about the profoundness of the novel:

9. All play and no work

I read for pleasure. I'm not one of those people that will swarm to the latest "it" book that's causing every person that wants to look smarter than they are to read it.

10. Is there something wrong with me?

I do not understand the beard craze. I don't understand the long hair fetish. I don't understand the man bun frenzy. I am the minority here, and I don't get why.

Share your confessions below!

A Dick By Any Other Name (or, What's Wrong With Erotica)

Hey, ladies!

(warning: this is a dirty minded post with dirty language, in case you couldn't tell by the title)

I love romance books. Love them. I'll happily admit to needing some kind of romance in whatever I read; just a little something I can swoon and sigh and lust over. Plus, who doesn't love collecting those delightful book boyfriends?
I also love erotica. My Kindle is a treasure-trove of dirty, kinky fuckery. However.... sometimes I just have to laugh at the way genitals and sex in general described . Let me be more specific, alright?


For Him:

Instead of the acceptable cock, dick, or even prick or erection, you'll see:

- Manhood 
I just think of... I don't even know what I think of. A knighthood, maybe? It sounds ridiculous!

- Hardness 
Is an adjective, not a noun.

- Thickness
Ditto the above.

- Rod
What are you, going fishing? Wait...that makes me think whatever girl he's banging needs to, ah...wash. Thoroughly. With soap. Get what I'm saying?

- Ridged collum/pillar of flesh
 All I picture is a colonial style house with cocks in the place of the pillars framing the entryway.

- Member
Proud member of Club Cunt!

- Package
Hello, FedEx!

- Shaft
Elevator. Sunlight. Not as bad as some, but still!

- Organ
If that word doesn't kill the mood, I don't know what will.

- Penis
Nothing cools the hot and heavy quite like clinical terms.

- Root
I've always wanted to be boinked by a tree, said no one ever. I hope, anyway.

- Steel (or marble, granite, ect) wrapped in velvet (or silk)
It's everywhere. Literally everywhere.

- Engorged flesh
Sounds painful.

- Throbbing head
Cock-migraine, anyone?

- Inflamed anything
You should get that raging infection checked out.

- Thatch 
Manscaping is your friend!






Then there's the things you stumble upon in the holy-hell-I-get-why-you-were-free-now smut. And yes, these are unfortunately all ones I've come across (ha...oh my god, that was the best unintentional pun ever!).

- Meat
Beef: it's what for dinner.

- Heat seeking missile

- Stalk
Plants.

- Fun stick/joy stick
Uh huh. I just bet you're a fun time.

- Man/guy/boy part
Are you 8 years old???

- Boner, stiffy, wang, schlong 
Well, you've moved up in the world to a 13 year old's vocabulary. Good for you.

- Dong
Please stop.


- Pork sword

For Her:

Sometimes we have it even worse than the guys, if you can imagine. Okay words include: pussy, cunt, sex, clit, and occasionally core or center. Never:


- Cleft
I hate this one!! It's awful, inaccurate, and just wrong. Please, I beg of you, stop it.

- Nub
It's such an exciting, sensual term. Really.

- Button
Repeat after me: "I am not a remote!"

- Meat curtains
Can you pull them shut if it gets too bright?

- Nether regions/nether lips
This is just weird.

- Womb
This would be agonizing, and nothing should be penetrating that. Please brush up on basic anatomy before continuing your story.

- Intimate folds
Sounds like a sketchy laundromat.

- Vagina
Again with the clinical! It's all too often used incorrectly. If he's rubbing you on the outside, that's not your vagina. That's your labia. Speaking of...

- Labia
Are you trying to get me hot and bothered, or are you giving me "the talk"?

- Tunnel
Here comes the train....

- Velvet anything
No.

- Twat
Aren't you just a classy SOB?

- Snatch
You know how some people cannot stand the word "cunt"? I feel the same way about "snatch". *shudders dramatically*

- Crease
Do you need an iron for your pussy?

- Depths
Prepare your ship for a voyage in the sea of vag.

- Cavern
Spelunking, anyone?




For Them:


Now we have things that can go either way, or for the sex itself. Yay!


For pubes, if applicable:

- Thatch 
- Nest

Lovely. Personal hygiene is important, people! Neither of you should have to brave an Amazon jungle to get to the goods.

What about butts? Ass is the only thing that should ever be used. Otherwise, you run the risk of sounding like 50 Shades Ana, taking it up the rear but unable to call it anything besides a "bottom". You should not be having anal sex if you can't say ass.


We can't forget about fluids! Preferable is come, or cum. Acceptable is seamen, wetness, or release. Do not ever use:

- Spunk/jizz/meat juice
- Dick spit
- Frothy anything
- Cream of any form
- Nectar
- Honey
- Damp
- Fluid
- Moist/moisture 

To wrap it up, two of my favorites:


- Weeping anything
Sounds like an infection you've lanced.

- Sheathe

I had so much fun with that! Cheers, everyone!

Book Review: Screwdrivered (Cocktail, #3) by Alice Clayton

From Goodreads

Readers back for a third round of the bestselling Cocktail series will enjoy a madcap romantic comedy about bodice ripping and chest heaving, fiery passion and love everlasting. Plus a dash of paperwork filing and horseshi—wait, what?

By day, Viv Franklin designs software programs. By night, Vivian’s a secret romance-novel junkie who longs for a knight in shining armor, or a cowboy on a wild stallion, or a strapping firefighter to sweep her off her feet. And she gets to wear the bodice—don’t forget the bodice.

When a phone call brings news that she’s inherited a beautiful old home in Mendocino, California from a long-forgotten aunt, she moves her entire life across the country to embark on what she sees as a great, romance-novel-worthy adventure. But romance novels always have a twist, don’t they?

There’s a cowboy, one that ignites her loins. Because Cowboy Hank is totally loin-ignition worthy. But there’s also a librarian, Clark Barrow. And he calls her Vivian. Can tweed jackets and elbow patches compete with chaps and spurs? You bet your sweet cow pie.

In Screwdrivered, Alice Clayton pits Superman against Clark in a hilarious and hot battle that delights a swooning Viv/Vivian. 

Also within this book, an answer to the question of the ages: Why ride a cowboy when you can ride a librarian?

My Review

4 "Cure For The Angst!" Stars

Twentysomething Viv Franklin is shameless devourer of all things romance books: the glistening pecs, the passionate sex, and declarations of true love. Owning her own software design business in Philadelphia is a fulfilling career, but it does nothing for her desire of that book worthy piece of man-meat. 

When her reclusive aunt dies and leaves her a gorgeous -albeit dilapidated - ocean front house and land, Viv feels this is adventure is something straight out one of her raunchy novels. She packs her bags and jets off, certain she's in for the romance ride of a lifetime.

The second she lays eyes on the deliciously sexy cowboy, Hank, caring for her aunt's land, she's all hot and bothered. With his lickable abs and sonnet-worthy arms, Viv is swooning over strong, silent heartthrob.

But then there's Clark, librarian and the town's historian intent on over seeing the renovations of the house. He infuriates Viv like no other, but the more time they spend together, the more it seems like opposites attract. 

I'm a huge fan of Alice Clayton's sexy and hilarious contemporary romances, and Screwdrivered did not disappoint! This book had me laughing out loud in every chapter, and doing this weird gasp/snort at some of the insanely blunt and filterless things Viv would say or think. I've been reading way, way too much New Adult, and I've OD'ed on angst. This novel was a breath of fresh air to my book soul!

While this is the third book in the Cockatiel series, it's not at all necessary to read the first two before this one. 

"He's the librarian."

"They don't make librarians like that where I come from."

Viv was such an enjoyable heroine! Her witty and hopeless romantic voice was wildly entertaining, and I loved being in her head. She was so smart, funny, and unique. She'd go off on these harlequin romance-wrothy tangents about what was going on, and I was cracking up. Alice Clayton kept light heartedly poking fun at the typical romance novel, and it was hysterical. Just look at this!

I'll clear something up right now: this is not a love triangle. Not even close. It may be a lust triangle, but that's all. I was surprised at how much I loved it! It created the perfect mix of sexual tension and faint possessiveness from both men, without making me want to scream and throw the book against the wall, as is the case with 98% of love (not lust) triangles. 

The pacing was delightful! Quick enough to keep things moving along at a nice clip, but not so fast that I was annoyed with how fast the romance went. There's some fabulous side characters (and we get to see the return of Simon and Caroline from the first two books! <3 Love them), humor in spades, and the perfect amount of romance.

It doesn't always have to be so hard. Sometimes falling in love just means turning around and seeing what's right in front of you.

I really enjoyed the connection and banter between Clark and Viv. An unlikely couple that quickly grew on me, their chemistry and easy romance was so fun to watch unfold.

My only qualm with this story was I never really cared for either man, aside from Clark's flirting and Hank's...well, perfect body. I liked Clark and Viv together, but I'm one of those compulsive book boyfriend collectors, and he just wasn't up to par for me.

It's a super quick and light read, one I breezed through in less than a day and loved every second of.

Overall, this is a sexy and hilarious low angst romp that is a perfect pick-me-up book or one to break you out of a reading slump. I highly recommend it to any contemporary lovers, or just for anyone who enjoys a good laugh!

STATS:

Rating: 4 stars

Genre: Contemporary romance, humor

POV: 1st person, single perspective

Steam/sexual content: Deliciously steamy with some fun but mild smut

Warnings: You'll laugh your ass off
