Dark Wild Night by Christina Lauren
4.0
When I first saw the release date for this I was so excited, just a few days before my birthday, how wonderful. In fact, the fact this book was Oliver, the Aussie, and the one I knew would be devoted to cool comics and have a more nerdy feel, I was pumped.
Unfortunately, I couldn't give it a 5 star rating for one reason. And that reason was Lola. I thought I would love her because she's not the type of person to do things without thinking, but in actuality, she doesn't just think things through, she exhausts herself with overthinking and she ended up exhausting ME.
I understand her issues from her mother because my mum did the same thing to our family and it sucks, unlike her I ended up eventually getting to see my mum and it didn't effect me like it effected my brother. So I get why she's so messed up. That doesn't mean I can forgive you, Lola Love.
Oliver is the shizznit, and from the beginning he admits he lover her. I was worried it would be a friend zone type book, but it wasn't. Lola just ended up being oblivious to Oliver's adoration of her until he came out with it. And right here I'll add that that first steamy encounter, of the drawing Oliver in just his boxers, was kinda a great thing for me. I unashamedly will admit, it was a scene that actually was a turn on.
Things are a lot more simple in this. In the end I feel it wasn't so much about their sex, more their feelings. I usually see some find of fetish going on, and I didn't pick up on anything other than Oliver wanting to take things slow and love, and the very evasive kind of shower scene where I'm certain anal sex took place, and felt very weird and didn't quite need to be there.
All in all, Lola needed to get her head out her arse and speak what she was thinking cause nobody is a mind reader as my partner likes to tell me when I'm moody. And she totally sucks for taking out all her stress on him when deep down even she knew he wasn't the problem. Ugh. Silly billy.
Also, I'd like to add how bullshit it was with all the hoo-haa about Oliver's accent in this series. We aren't that fucking hard to understand. We don't speak fucking Klingon.
