I cannot believe I had to read the words "Not all men", unironically, with my own two eyes. This book is disgusting and offensive (and frankly, a joke). Cheers.

Read for Fun (Physical Copy from Convention)
Overall Rating: 3.50
Story Rating: 3.75
Character Rating: 3.25
Audio Rating: 4.00 ( Narrated By Jeremy York )
Quick Thoughts: I liked this more than I expected too (not a huge fan of die-hard players in my books) and had fun reading it. I didn't like Ian very much but I did like Blake, Gabi, and Lex. I did like the journey though. So Overall I am glad that I gave it a whirl!!!
Audio Thoughts: I only listened to a little bit of this one but I really did like what I heard. I gave my copy to a friend who is a HUGE RVD fan.

Just okay
I gave it 2 stars for effort. The book was slow at times and I found myself falling asleep. Ian Hunter have new meaning to the term egotistical asshole. I found it hard to believe some of the characters were so naive, it makes you question what planet they’ve been living on. I wouldn’t recommend it.

This book was freaking hilarious. I LOVED that it was told from Ian's POV. It really is completely different reading a book in a males mind. Plus he said the craziest things.
Like when Gabi got him sick:
"I'm going to bed to sleep it off and hopefully not die. If I wake up a zombie, take at least a few cool pictures before you decapitate me."
Blake also ended up being really funny after she opened up to Ian. Like when she went to help him when he was sick:
"Lex said you were making the final transition into a werewolf and not to freak out if you lashed out and bit me."
I love funny books. I love funny characters and this book is full of funny characters. All of them are seriously hilarious. Gabi, Lex, Ian and eventually Blake is funny. I feel like I have said funny 12325435 times but I can't get over it. When I first started the book I was a little worried because Ian came off as kind of an asshat. But I soon got over that when I couldn't stop laughing. I also didn't fully get what his job was. When I read the blurb, I really didn't know what to think but what he does isn't all that bad. So again, I got over it. He fell for Blake pretty hard and almost right away felt the connection. I think I might have hated the book if he didn't like her until after she started dressing better.
Gabi and Lex seemed to have the whole hate but want to fuck you thing going on. They constantly described ways to kill and hurt each other but when Gabi was sick, where was Lex? Right by her side... granted he was bitching and threw medicine at her instead of handing it to her. So I can not wait for their book. I think Im going to enjoy it so much more.. just because I won't have to wait for Gabi to come into herself. She's already a firecracker.... And I want to see how Blake and Ian are doing.
I will say that there were a lot of things that seemed weren't finished. Ian mentioned a sister.. but nothing came of that. Some thing with his parents. Then Blake's dad as mention but we never found out anything about him. We really don't learn anything about their pasts. Yes we learn what happened to his NFL career and we learn that Blake's mom died. but other that than there's really nothing. I won't lie.. That drives me crazy.. and I would probably give the book 4 stars if I wasn't literally laughing out loud the entire book. I am not exaggerating.. the whole damn book was funny. Therefore I added a star. :)

Kept seeing snippets on Tiktok of the movie adaptation. It was a decent weekend spicy read.

Eh, war ganz in Ordnung. Humorvoll, ja. Nichts Weltbewegendes oder so. Für zwischendurch halt sehr gut.

It was just too much... the protagonist's voice was all over the place. It would've been better if the voice had stayed serious like it was in the beginning. Or if it was consistently that jokey tone that didn't work very well.
