“An instant classic…highly recommended!” —New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Jennifer Probst
USA TODAY bestselling indie author Alice Clayton delights readers with the sexy, laugh-out-loud romance of Caroline and Simon in Wallbanger, the first book in the Cocktail series!
The first night after Caroline moves into her fantastic new San Francisco apartment, she realizes she’s gaining an—um—intimate knowledge of her new neighbor’s nocturnal adventures. Thanks to paper-thin walls and the guy’s athletic prowess, she can hear not just his bed banging against the wall but the ecstatic response of what seems (as loud night after loud night goes by) like an endless parade of women. And since Caroline is currently on a self-imposed “dating hiatus,” and her neighbor is clearly lethally attractive to women, she finds her fantasies keep her awake even longer than the noise. So when the wallbanging threatens to literally bounce her out of bed, Caroline, clad in sexual frustration and a pink baby-doll nightie, confronts Simon Parker, her heard-but-never-seen neighbor. The tension between them is as thick as the walls are thin, and the results just as mixed. Suddenly, Caroline is finding she may have discovered a whole new definition of neighborly…
In a delicious mix of silly and steamy, Alice Clayton dishes out a hot and hilarious tale of exasperation at first sight.
Great read ! I really liked this one :) My niece recommended this one and I finally took the time to read it, thank you Milou ;)
I really enjoyed the main character, she was very funny and direct. Reminded me a bit of Charley Davidson, my favorite character ever. Simon was also very likable (lovable) and I really enjoyed their banter.
Yes of course we know they are going to end up together after some drama, but with these kind of books it is more about the journey and not the destination that keeps the plot interesting. It kept me hooked for most of the book, until the last part. You know, the last part was a bit.. Well I was done. They got each other and then (for me) it is finished. It slowed down too much for me at the ending to keep me full-on interested.
But overal a nice, and most certainly FUN read. 4 stars !!
