Didn’t love it . ( So many reasons )
Didn’t hate it. ( If you’ve read any of her work before ,the reasons are more obvious.)
There might be ⚠️ spoilers ahead ⚠️
Ok,what I liked. ( Not my usual place to start,I usually like to complain first 😉 but I thought I switch things up.)
Never did I find this “hilarious “ like the book 📚 describes itself as,but I did find it interesting and engaging and I always curious to see where the story was going to go next.
Sadly,it never really went where I hoped it would go. But I always loved and respected the writers willingness to let the characters be so raw and open and honest and real with each other. I appreciated the lack of games and open communication w/each other. None that long drawn out miscommunication bs because they couldn’t be bothered to stop and sit and talk for five minutes. Very refreshing.
Buuuuut ( Felt it coming ,didn’t ya?)
But, but I HATED, hated, hated that over half the book was just them traveling to L.A.. It’s was only two days. Two Days! But it felt like a week,their trip w a s so loooooong! And when they F I N A L L Y get “together” in L. A. , I think their together like two ? Maybe three days before the whole cliched bs ( Sure,I can have a fling and NOT get attached . Sure I can! I have to be F’ed by you!!!!!! Oooooops,I think I’ve fallen in love with you !) He freaks ( he shares the feels and doesn’t want to). Breaks her heart 💔 and his own and runs away like a coward . Then at the very,very comes running back to make up . The End.
Bull S !
That’s just beyond cliché. So been there done that ,we all deserve fries,burgers,shakes and a cute t shirt for it! Plus,plus I started w/Dax’s book 📖 “Rockstar” and except for some differences here and there ,ok it’s pretty different ,but very,very similar at the same time.
Almost lost at first sight, very fast paced love,sex and addiction to each other , but more sex than relationship til the very end. In both guy is deeply emotionally immature til last very chapters of the book. Not really a couple til last few chapters of the book.
Loved 💞💕💞, loved 💞💕, loved 💕💞 both Maddy’s and Violet’s (Dax’s girl ) emotional maturity and standing up for what they wanted. Great to see ,especially in such young women. But all the silly nicknames,( sweet cheeks,sugar balls etc.) gods did they get old. And while I’m deeply thrilled to see guys be so unapologetically into each other and affectionate in a non homosexual way and unafraid of what anyone think . I loved it . But why did they call each other wifey ? If that explained in an earlier book ? I love that ! I mean why can’t two ppl that close and caring and it not be sexual ? We need more of that. We see it all the time with women but rarely with men. Well,not like this anyway.
For me the getting to know you phase was way,way to long, especially when getting together was a blink and you miss it in comparison. The the “break up”. Then the chapters while we wait for Keane to get a clue. Gah 😖!
Didn’t love it but would recommend.
Ps.if I ever have to see “bee tee dubs” for by the way “btw” again,I swear I’m gonna scream 😱
HATED THAT so hard!

One ‘adorbsicle’ girl and one cocky guy are about to find their ‘primordial fate’.
Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2016
Storyline-Maddy is about to transfer to school in LA but first she needs to get out of Seattle, next thing she knows her protective sister has managed to saddle her with a hot stripper who thinks of himself as the’ puppet master’ of women on a road trip that is about to blow all her pre conceived notions about love, sex and life out of the water. Keane living the good life as a handsome happy lad loves sex but he knows that Maddy is off limits but forbidden fruit can be so tempting especially when she isn’t falling for any of his tried and true charm.Characters-Maddy is an aspiring documentary film maker. She’s looking for a great love not a one night stand the only problem is she’s a total idiot around guys she finds attractive but when she meets Keane she feels an instant connection with him but it’s a friend connection….right?Keane is an interesting guy dropping ‘Baby Girl’s like they’re spare change and a philosophy about sex and women that is both outrageous and charming. He comes up with the most entertainingly shocking comments you can’t help but laugh. He loves women, maybe too much but he takes his stripping seriously with a’ no sleeping with clients’ policy. He’s extremely close to his family and is a total mama’s boy which is so cute.My Love Hate Relationship-At first I found Keane’s slang disconcerting and slightly irritating but later I caught myself say “Bee Tee Dubs what’s for dinner, son” and I realized I had been Ball Peen Hammered. This guy will grow on you like mold on cheese and the next thing you know you’ll be craving cheese and crackers for every meal.The stripping routines were HOT who cares if you can’t actually see them they are so well written you will be watching a live performance in your head.The book was a little long but the interaction between the characters was so much fun to read you really won’t mind and the dialogue is just so fresh, inventive and laugh out loud funny.Warnings-Standalone with no cheating. Yay!Ratings out of 5-Writing- 5 sparkly pens (this author is outstanding at her craft)Heat- 5 panty melters (Magic Mike move over)Mush- 3 hearts (Keane is very much a dude but he makes up for it in the end)Violence- 0 (This ‘brah’ is all about the lurve)What goes with this book? #needme’s-Music- Pony by Ginuwine ( a certain stripper movie made this note pounder the perfect song for Ball Peen Hammer) Blue Jeans by Lana Del Rey, Like Real People Do by Hozier. #dancelikeastripperFood - Milk Duds, popcorn, Abba Zaba bars and Junior Mints #snackattackActivity- a Magic Mike movie fest straight after you have finished the book. #StripmeMike #StripmeKeane
