I should have waited for this Real Good Man...

I'm a shocker. I'm way too impatient, emotional and quick to jump in. If I'd only waited 9 more days I wouldn't be sitting here... waiting... hoping... for this Real Good Man to give me Real Good Love.

I enjoyed reading Real Good Man. I have been eyeing Megan March's books for ages. When the plot for Real Good Man caught my attention, I knew that it was the perfect introduction to seeing what's caught all my book-friends' attention.

Logan is my kind of man. Hard working, determined, bossy, sexy and HOT!!! Logan has not had the easiest life. He knows that if he works hard enough and avoids causing gossip in his small town, he will get ahead. With his nose to the grind to make his business a success, Logan is surprised when his thoughts are consumed by text messages from a woman he has never met. Every time his phone lights up he's excited. What will she say? Is she going to shock him...again? What will he say this time when it comes to avoiding the bad and finding a good man, a real man?

I liked Banner and her friends, hated (HATED) her parents...and felt a little sorry for her. To the outside world, she probably looked well put together and had it all. Surprisingly, her life has gone to the crapper, except for one little thing. She has formed a connection with a man who seems to like her for herself. Logan Real Man Brantley is the first man she's had a relationship with that doesn't involve sex. Friendship with a man is unusual for Banner. She tends to ride in and out in one night, and never goes back for more.

For Logan and Banner, things are about to change.

I enjoyed this story, but I was a wee bit frustrated that I'm left hanging. Yeah, yeah, I knew it was a duet, but there's this little bit inside me that hoped that I'd be happy for now and confident where they're at. Alas, that was not meant to be. Maybe, I would have known this if I had read this author's previous works, but I'm impatient.

It's all good. I can wait 9 days for more. Well, I think I can...

I have been a fan of Meghan March ever since I read “Beneath This Mask”. When I heard that she would be releasing a new book I was over the moon. When I was chosen to receive an ARC of her new book I was one happy camper. I have not read all of her books, but those that I have read so far I have thoroughly enjoyed, and “Real Good Man” was no exception.
The story was not only sexy, it was sweet, funny and entertaining.

From the moment I began reading, I knew I would be in for a hell of a ride.

“It’s not like I sent him a pic of my amazing rack or something, so there’s no need to get your granny panties in a twist, Frau Frances.” My neighbor from across the hall, who I’d guess is older than the gates of hell, covers her ears and closes her eyes like a toddler.

I read it in one sitting. Yes, it was that addictive. It was a good thing I was alone while reading because persons may have thought I was crazy from the way I was grinning from ear to ear throughout most of the story.

Banner Regent, OMG! That girl is a riot. She is smart, witty and unapologetic about who she is. She couldn’t care less what anybody thought of her. She goes where and does what she pleases. She does not do relationships and is well known for her one night stands, which led to her calling herself, Manhattan’s Queen of One-Night Stands.

I first met Logan when I read the “Dirty Billionaire Trilogy.” I was glad to know that he would be getting his own story. Logan is a former Marine turned mechanic in a small town in Kentucky and a total hottie. He was a well sought after bachelor in the town, but he had no interest in any of the women there. By sheer coincidence, he and Banner began a texting relationship which would eventually evolve into something more. Logan was determined to find out if the reality of Banner matched his fantasy of her and so he decided that he had to meet her. Even though he felt she was out of his league, he was not about to let that deter him. When they finally met in person the chemistry was off the charts. Their attraction was undeniable.

The story was told from both Banner and Logan’s perspective which I appreciated. The word building was good which made for an easy read. I particularly enjoy the interaction between the characters. I liked that the focus was not just on Banner and Logan’s relationship. There is a mystery brewing and I am eager to see how that aspect of the story will develop.
I enjoyed this story, well, except for the ending, but that was only because it ended on a cliff-hanger. I am glad I will not be waiting long for the sequel.

Verdict
This was a great start to the duology and I am eager to read the next book in the series
