Good
I enjoyed this book. I can honestly say I wants entirely thrilled. It wasn't a book that I had to keep reading. I usually read books in on sitting or two. This one took me five days to read. It was a struggle but I made it through.

Nick Hammer is another fun, funny, and sexy hero from the pen of Lauren Blakely. There's a particularly funny section in the book where Blakely makes tongue-in-cheek fun of romance writers in general and herself in particular.

Read the full review on Bookaholics Not-So-Anonymous.
Note: This ARC was provided by InkSlinger PR in exchange for an honest review.
I have quite a few favorite moments in this book, but if I had to choose a top three, they would have to include Harper's surprise gift (a box of detergent and a box of Blackwing pencils--Nick's preferred drawing instrument), the flirty texting that quickly evolves into a naughty exchange once Harper's curiosity takes over, and the proposed transitioning of the word "fuck" to mean "like" (you can read part of that conversation above but that doesn't even encompass how hilarious I thought the exchange was, one that ended with me going "Aww!"). This book more than tickled my fancy, and I enjoyed getting to know and falling in love with Nick and Harper. Having Spencer and Charlotte from Big Rock play an integral part in Nick and Harper's love story was a definite bonus since they weren't merely appearing for decorative purposes in the book. I'm also excited to read the upcoming stories of four supporting characters, with all three books currently slated for release this year. I highly encourage you to read Mister O. Five-plus stars. ♥

DNF @52%
After enjoying the first in this series I was looking forward to this book but it fell completely flat for me. I stopped at 50% because I was bored and I tried to pick it up again but only got to 52% before giving up entirely. The characters have no connection at all, it is all about lust and then sex. I just couldn't force myself to get through this.

Its a hit
I loved Nick! I usually like a dual POV but found myself turning page after page! I kept trying to read Harper to see how she felt about Nick! The plot was awesome and the story of these two was a great balance of flirty, sexy and real! The intimacy was so hot and fulfilling! This is a definite must read! Loved it and can't wait for Nicks story!

4,5 Orgasmic Stars!!
Wow!! Is it HOT in here or what??
Fantastic light read about forbidden love to his best friend's sister. And since it was a book told from the point of view of a guy (which was a cool change from most of the books that I have read) you will find here a lot of sex for sure ;)
Oh what I would not give to meet a guy like Nick. Smart handsome tattooed monogamous, who loves sex and at the same time not forgetting that he is't alone in the bedroom. "Giving a women a sheet-grabbing, toe-curling, mind-blowing orgasm is pretty much the Best Thing Ever."
Thing that makes me wonder after reading this book is:
Do men so often fantasize about women?
I do not know .. Probably yes?
Maybe we will never know but it is good to read such a book once in a while. Brings some answers to the question: What is he thinking right now?
So, tkank you Lauren Blakely :)

Più di quattro stelle perché amo i suoi protagonisti maschili molta apparenza e anche sostanza

Hé bien voilà une romance toute légère, fun, romantique et sexy qui remplit parfaitement sa mission !
Bon ok, l'histoire de base est ultra cliché, on a toutes déjà lu une ou plusieurs fois ces histoires de petite sœur du meilleur ami, dont le héros tombe irrémédiablement amoureux, meilleur ami auprès duquel il a juré de ne jamais toucher à elle, blablabla. Il accepte de lui donner des "leçons de séduction", oui, ça aussi c'est cliché, déjà vu et j'en passe. Il "l'éduque" pour qu'elle en séduise un autre, ça aussi, c'est archi vu et revu.
Cependant, le couple Nick/Harper est adorable et fonctionne très bien. Il y a une jolie électricité dans l'air lorsqu'ils sont réunis, et le fait d'avoir un récit au POV intégralement masculin est toujours quelque chose que j'apprécie beaucoup.
Nick est un héros craquant, sexy (forcément) et je dois dire que j'ai apprécié son sens de l"humour, son côté un peu geek est également le genre de détails qui me fait fondre (genre, son obsession pour les crayons d'une certaine marque, sa manie de tout le temps dessiner, ce genre de choses quoi). Harper est pleine de vie, a un métier original (elle est magicienne !), je l'ai trouvé rigolote, fraîche et sympa comme tout.
Une romance sexy donc, une lecture légère qui donne la pêche et qui fait du bien !

Story of Harper Holiday and Nick Hammer
I really enjoyed this book.
I started reading Lauren’s books in her new releases and love her writing style, so I have gone back to the beginning of her back list.
This book was very whitty, had me laughing out loud a few times. Loved their relationship development!
Highly recommend this one.
