This is another book that I waited to read after I had bought it. This was also bought the day it came out. You see, Wallbanger is still one of my favorite romances. Ever. It's funny, snarky, charming and sexy. What could top that? So I waited. I decided maybe this would be a camping read? Didn't read it then either. Finally, yesterday I decided I've been searching for a good romance for a while and finding only duds, maybe it was time to read this. Good choice!

Did I mention sexy? That Simon! He sure knows how to make a girl hot! There are very few books out there than can make me gooey on the inside from straight up vanilla sex. Sure, I like a few of my kinks and this doesn't have a single one of them. While most other books still have a storyline I love, the sex wasn't something that made me melt on the inside. Sex scenes in some books in contemporary romance are forgettable. Sorry, other books! This and the first? So not forgettable. Because they have something that I think lacks in most other books. Passion that jumps off the page. Passion so strong that even I could feel it. That right there? Sexy. Beyond. Belief.

Sorry, had to throw another one in there. Why? Because Simon and Caroline could do it anywhere and they have. They love each other and have so much passion for one another that sometimes they just can't wait for a bed. And hey! Who needs a bed when there's a perfectly good staircase right there! But what do I love most about this book? Besides Simon? Everything is tasteful. Never at any point does this feel like a *****. Never does it feel cheap. It's tasteful, fun, snarky and above all, sexy.

Of course, this does have a great story to go along with the great sex. Great sex doesn't a book make. Caroline and Simon are fantastic characters and even they have their moments where they fight. Things come up and well, nothing is resolved because someone holds in all in. Two guesses who it was. They have their conflict but no matter how bad things get, they never once thought about throwing in the towel. No one broke up with the other only to get back together. Instead, they did something amazing. They worked through it. Crazy concept, right?

Even though the next book isn't about them, I'm still looking forward to reading it. I liked Viv when she was introduced and I'm excited for more snark and hopefully just as great sex in the next books to come. See what I did there? Ha. Okay, my brain is officially in the gutter after reading this, but who can blame a girl? The blame lies with Simon. Get this, read it and be ready for great sex and great characters.
