5 HUGE STARS

Essential elements of a sensational romantic comedy novel:

Strong, sarcastically hilarious heroine – Check
Gorgeously sexy, hot hero – OMG, check, check and CHECK!!!!
Sizzling chemistry – Check
Hilariously rude flirting – Check
Wickedly sensational banter – HELL YEAH Check
Swoony romance – Check
Steam factor – Holy hell, CHECK!

Love, love, love this book! It was hilarious, gorgeously swoony, and so much fun!

“Fucking Wallbanger,” I hissed, frozen on the spot.
His grin slid off as well as he played place-the-face for a moment. “Fucking Pink Nightie Girl”

Caroline and Simon have sizzling chemistry from the start, even though they initially ‘hate’ each other after a late night encounter where Caroline “cockblocks” Simon, telling him to calm his sexual theatrics and its resulting wallbanging.

“Now you listen here, mister … I’m not going to spend every night listening to you try to crash your girl’s head through my wall with the force of your dick alone!”

Their relationship takes a twist as their friends hook up and they realise that, as neighbors, they can’t exactly stay away from each other. So they call a truce and gradually become friends. I loved their friendship! They have so much fun together, but the rude, crude and flirty banter flies thick and fast, with lots of innuendo and teasing, steamy moments between them (apple pie anybody???). And then there are the conversations via text message – absolute GOLD!

The sexual tension builds and builds until our frustrated couple finally get together and oh holy crap is there hotness! Lots and lots of it!!! It’s hot, and it’s graphic, but there’s still humour and lightness there.

“Simon does commando. God bless America.”

(is it suddenly getting hot in here?)

Caroline and Simon are both fantastic characters, I loved them both instantly. Caroline is everything you want in a rom-com heroine – she’s strong, smart, sarcastic and sassy, and Simon is just absolute freaking perfection! (Seriously! Where can I get one?). Hot, sexy and funny, he also has an affectionate, caring side and is clearly talented in the bedroom area. Oh, and he gives good woo 🙂 The last part of the book had me in a permanent state of swoon!

“You really have no idea, do you?” …
“No idea about what?” …
“How thoroughly you own me, Nightie Girl,” he said, leaning in to whisper this part in my ear. “And I
know I love you enough to want you to have your happy ending.”

The rest of the cast of characters are just as hilarious, and as with other Alice Clayton characters, are exactly the kind of people you would love to have in your life. Including Clive the cat – this cat rocked so much attitude, he deserves his own shout out. I loved it whenever he made an appearance!

I was totally obsessed with Caroline and Simon’s story from the very beginning, and loved every single moment of the journey. This book had me holding my sides from laughter and grinning like an idiot the whole time I was reading. Clayton definitely rocks the written romantic comedy. Absolutely brilliant!

5 sensational stars!
