5 stars – Contemporary Romance

Oh, I really enjoyed this one! Jamie and Olivia were a cute, fun, sexy, and perfectly complimentary ‘opposites attract’ couple with flammable chemistry that made for some seriously steamy bedroom (and hot tub) scenes. Yowza!

Auntee You liked?:)


Shawna Oh Yeah! Jamie was a sweetie and mega yummy! I was hoping to write a full review but this week has been crazy, so I kept it short.

I want to read the other books soon. But Eric was such a jerk in this, so it's going to take a lot for me to like him. Did you read The Guy Next Door? The Dahl novella "Just One Taste" seems to be a prequel to Real Men Will about Eric and Beth, so I'm wondering if it's necessary to read it first?

Auntee Don't worry, I think you'll like Eric in the next book, or at least understand him a bit better. And his scenes with Beth are h-o-t!
I have not read "Just One Taste" but I'm going to get right on it, as soon as I finish Good Girls Don't. I really screwed this up by reading totally out of order!

Kristen You sold me. This looks like a good book, Shawna. Nicely said!


Angela Hi Girls. It definitely helps to read the prequel in The Guy Next Door if you can. I felt the same way about Eric but he totally redeems himself!


Shawna Auntee/Angela, Thanks for the info! I'm glad to hear Eric gets better! I think I'll probably read all the remaining books in order since it sounds like they're all good and worth reading.

Thanks, Kristen! I think you'll like this one! I also recommend her Tumble Creek series: Talk Me Down, Start Me Up, Lead Me On. The heroes in that series are deliciously yummy!

Kristen Thank you, Shawna! I'll add those books. Have a great weekend.


Shawna You too, Kristen!

Kristen Quick question. Do I need to read these books in order?


Shawna I'd definitely recommend reading her Tumble Creek series in order.

As for this series, I think it's okay out of order if you don't mind a few spoilers. I read this (#2) first and it was solid as a stand alone. But I enjoyed it so much that it made me want to read them all to learn more about Jamie's siblings.

Kristen Thank you, Shawna.


Shawna YW! :)

Shawna Thanks, KatLynne! I hope you enjoy it!
