Rusty Nailed by Alice Clayton

Rusty Nailed (The Cocktail, #3)

by Alice Clayton

Playing house was never so much fun-or so confusing. With her boss on her honeymoon, Caroline's working crazy long hours to keep the interior design company running-especially since she's also the lead designer for the renovation of a gorgeous old hotel on Sausalito. So with her hotshot photographer boyfriend gallivanting all over the world for his job, she and Simon are heavy-duty into "absence makes the heart grow fonder" mode. Neither has any complaints about the great reunion sex, though! Then Simon decides he's tired of so much travelling, and he's suddenly home more. A lot more. And wanting Caroline home more, too. Though their friends' romantic lives provide plenty of welcome distraction, eventually Caroline and Simon have to sort their relationship out. Neither wants "out of sight, out of mind," but can they create their own happy mid-ground cliché?

USA TODAYbestselling author Alice Clayton delivers another delicious, frothy cocktail of a book, shaking up her characters, stirring in laugh-out-loud humour, and serving sizzling romance straight up!

I checked this out of the eLibrary on a whim. I did not read/listen to the first book, but it was not difficult to get into the story. I really liked Clayton's humor. I laughed a lot. I also liked the way she showed the evolution of a relationship. It was very real, and as much as I read to escape, I appreciate a little bit of reality in my books.

This book had a cool bromance, and fun female relationships. I love books like this! And Simon! The way you saw his love for Caroline grow. How he was changing his ways a little, in order to settle in with a woman for the first time. I fell in love with Simon. I also really enjoy rom-coms, and this one had a lot of rom-com. Totally did not see that epilogue coming, but it was hilarious.

Overall, fun read, and I will definitely tag in for more Alice Clayton.
