The thing is, I always feel too much. Sad books make me cry, angsty books make me want to throw things and books like Wallbanger just make me all giggly. Truly, my first book by Alice Clayton is such a good introduction to all her other works that I found myself reading the rest of the Cocktail series after this.
The fun and creative humor in this book is way up there. I felt myself going crazy with Simon and Caroline. The banter and wit was not overdone and I found myself laughing along with the characters.
It’s sexy and witty, light and enjoyable. I love how the characters are believable, likeable, fun to know more about and also written with depth. I love the friendships as much as I love the relationship. It’s actually a good read especially if you just want to relax and enjoy or if you just finished reading something angsty and is in the mood for something fun.
It’s actually a simple story, with Caroline trying to resurrect the “O” but the way Clayton managed to make it sweet and delightful is what made me turn page after page after page.
This book is for those who wants to read something steamy yet fun and smart. To those who are fans of Emma Chase’s wit and humor, this is also for you.
The first night after Caroline moves into her fantastic new San Francisco apartment, she realizes she’s gaining an intimate knowledge of her new neighbor’s nocturnal adventures. Thanks to paper-thin walls and the guy’s athletic prowess, she can hear not just his bed banging against the wall but the ecstatic response of what seems (as loud night after loud night goes by) like an endless parade of women. And since Caroline is currently on a self-imposed dating hiatus, and her neighbor is clearly lethally attractive to women, she finds her fantasies keep her awake even longer than the noise. So when the wallbanging threatens to literally bounce her out of bed, Caroline, clad in sexual frustration and a pink baby-doll nightie, confronts Simon Parker, her heard-but-never-seen neighbor. The tension between them is as thick as the walls are thin, and the results just as mixed. Suddenly, Caroline is finding she may have discovered a whole new definition of neighborly…
In a delicious mix of silly and steamy, Alice Clayton dishes out a hot and hilarious tale of exasperation at first sight…
