Life is a Romance Novel?

This one was a choice made by my girl Sasha being as she's into the author. I'm okay with the redhead series in general and this; the cocktail series has some high points, this being 1 of them for the most part. My major issue with this piece of fiction was the whole "my life is a romance novel" crap that Viv talked for most of the book. There was also way too many detours into romance fiction cliches and breathless narration. The whole "I want a badboy" theme is one of the lamest ideas that ever entered a straight girl's mind. Too many of my girls have tried to effect that sort of transformation in some bad*** wannabe or loser; only to end up brokenhearted when; surprise, the dude doesn't change. As a female who does the bad girl thing I can tell you that I'm not changing. In the end of course the crazy lady gives up on it and ends up with the right guy, and they all live happily ever after.

not a big fan of the narrater

It seems like a great book, but the narrator wasn''t my cup of tea and a bit too theatrical for my taste

Sidesplitting Funny & Quirky Romance!

This spinoff from Wallbanger was hilarious! Viv, the cowboy, and the sexy librarian totally had me cracking up chapter after chapter. If you like to root for the underdog, this is the quirky romance novel for you! It's totally different than Wallbanger, but, very much the same in that you will fall head over heels for Alice Clayton books. It's more or less a stand alone book even though it's advertised as book 3 in a series. I highly recommend this one as a credit worthy purchase.

Wallbanger fans, skip this!!

This book is, perhaps, the biggest disappointment of the year. Wallbanger is one if my top 3 reads of all time. This book was boring, crude, had a super annoying, unlikeable heroine, and had no chemistry between the H & h. With one hour left in the book, Viv was still wanting the cowboy. This read more like Chick Lit. The romance was lacking tremendously. I didn't care what happened to them by the end. :-( The narrator was pretty good. She is too breathy, though.

, absolute best in the series

best book of the entire series I was rolling on the floor it was absolutely hilarious and sexy and it was great one of the best romance novels I've read and sometime and I am an avid Black Dagger Brotherhood reader.

Laughed the whole time

This was a hilarious concept. I woke up DH laughing!!! I’m still thinking of the premise of the story and laughing the next day.

Life in a romance novel

Viv thinks inheriting her aunt’s home across the country puts her in the middle of a romance novel. She arrives to find a cowboy taking take of the animals, shirtless. Her vision doesn’t quite go to plan. Especially when the cowboy doesn’t give her the time of day or when she falls through the front porch or when a stuffed shirt tells her she can’t change anything about the historic home. Nothing goes her way. But the friendship she finds with the stuffed shirt is fantastic. I enjoyed listening but sometimes Viv’s imagination gets really far away from her. Clark is a steadfast character and crumbles her fantasies but forms them into something new and better.

Why can’t this be good like the first book?

So far I’ve only enjoyed the first book in this series. This was so hard to finish.

Great narrator...story not as good

Heather Smith is awesome!! This story was not as good as the Caroline & Simon story. The romance story parts dragged on a bit. Hoping the next book is better.
