The Bangover by Lili Valente

5.0

The Bangover is Lili Valente's newest hilarious best friends to lovers romance. I have read every word Lili has ever written and she never fails to entertain me with the laughs, the tears, the heat and the fun! I especially loved this story of two best friends falling for each other. Colin the sexy rockstar, Kirby the quirky writer. They seem like opposites on paper, but they have been through a lot in their friendship. It's been purely hands off until some whiskey and a spontaneous trip to Vegas. Two friends can bang each other in Vegas and then resume their normal lives, right? Oh, so wrong! Crazy cats, exes, sexy swim suits and hot sexy times are just what Kirby and Colin need to show them sometimes what you've always wanted has been right in front of you the entire time. I loved this story! I laughed out loud, teared up, got mad, smiled and felt hopeful! Colin was sexy, sweet and said all the right things. Kirby was adorable and smart and so funny! I loved the secondary characters and I hope to see more from them!

So when she says, “I vote kissing friends,”
I answer, “Hell, yes, woman. I’m going to break your dry spell like spring on the Serengeti.”
She laughs, kissing me harder as she says, “You’ll taste the rains down in Africa?”

I’m just… excited. Excited to spend a week with one of my favorite people, excited to coax more sexy coming-sounds from her mouth, excited to find out if fucking Kirby is as amazing as I think it will be.

She arches a brow my way and whispers, “Everything to do with it.”
I shake my head. “Nah. It takes two to make a thing go right, Larry.”
“Rob Base and D.J. E-Z Rock?” she asks, her dimples popping.
“I only quote from the masters. Eighties rappers and Shakespeare.”
