Wallbanger - Alice Clayton

Do you know what? I love a good light hearted, happy, funny book. This came to me as a recommendation from my sister (now I'm going from memory on that, so don't quote me).

There's a new one out from Alice Clayton that follows on from this book called Rusty Nailed and there's also another set to release in September called Screwdrivered. If it wasn't already good enough there's ANOTHER book due out in December, Mai Tai'd Up. If you didn't know these are all part of the cocktail series - hence the cocktail-esque names.

I haven't read Rusty Nailed Yet but its on my TBR list and as soon as I've read it, the review will be on here.

Wallbanger : Synopsis

Caroline Reynolds has a fantastic new apartment in San Francisco, a Kitchen Aid mixer to die for, and no O (and we’re not talking Oprah here, folks). She has a flourishing design career, an office overlooking the bay, a killer zucchini bread recipe, and no O.

She has Clive (the best cat ever), great friends, a great rack, and no O. Adding insult to O-less, she also has an oversexed neighbour with the loudest late-night wallbanging she’s ever heard. Every moan, spank, and—was that a meow?—punctuates the fact that not only is she losing sleep, she still has—yep, you guessed it—no O.

Enter Simon Parker. When the wallbanging threatens to literally bounce her out of bed, Caroline, clad in sexual frustration and a pink baby-doll nightie, confronts her heard-but-never-seen neighbour. Their late-night hallway encounter has…well…mixed results. Because with walls this thin, the tension’s gonna be thick. A delicious mix of silly and steamy, this is an irresistible tale of exasperation at first sight.

Rachel's Review

As it says in the synopsis - 'A delicious mix of silly and steamy...' this is a prefect way of describing it. There are books I put together in the "wouldn't read it on the underground" group. This is not because I'm embarrassed by a good sex scene or a REALLY good sex scene, its because I'd be howling with laughter.

It's so funny. After reading this book I did go on and read the Redhead Series, which again is brilliant and a little different to the norm.

Best part about the book is Clive, the cat. What I wouldn't give to own such a smart and funny feline.

Only downside to this book is the price, I'm not tight but the price almost put me off.

Rachel's Rating

4 stars for hilarity ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
