If someone told me earlier, one day Pepper Winters (Tess Hunter her pen name) will write a book and it will make you laugh like an idiot, I would said that person "oh pls shut up!" :-D Because never in a million years I couldn't believe it, one day Pepper will do that.. BUT god bless her, that woman always finds a way to surprise me because as may you know she normally writes dark stuffs which I'm addicted her sick&twisted books.

This was different, lighter and funny. I utterly enjoyed it. I must say is not for everyone though if you are used to Pepper's dark writing style this one is the opposite. But it was funny and an interesting story.

I think this was the only time I gave a Pepper Winters book less than 5 stars but it came pretty close. I really tried to, but the FMC, Vesper, got on my nerves one too many times.
I loved that this was such a departure from what I've come to know and love from this author. There was none of the darkness, no suspense, but the underlying theme of love still remained and boy can this author right about love. This story was light and sweet and refreshing, and the only angst was that which the charac ...more

3 1/2 rounded up to a 4.
I cannot lie even when I receive free things. This book and I did not start off well (but it did get better!).
Vesper is a young, beautiful woman dedicated to her veterinarian practice. She doesn’t want a man messing up her life. Ryder is a dedicated dog rescuer living off of an inheritance. He drops in whenever he needs assistance because he’s cocky, has a crush on Vesper and her website does say drop-ins are welcome, after all. Vesper is instantly annoyed every time he ...more

I am usually not a big fan of romantic comedies, but since this is written by Pepper Winters, I had to give it a go.
Loved it! :)

Pepper Winters... that name is synonymous with writing very successful dark, twisted romances that wrap themselves around your heart, squeezing the life out of the very organ that keeps you alive.

Wow what an unexpected pleasant surprise! This is the first book I read of Pepper Winters and I LIKE IT A LOT. Can’t Touch This literally came out of nowhere. I have not seen any cover or promotion about this and BAM! It came crashing into our book world. This book had me giggling, laughing out loud, and hot and heavy at the same time.

Definitely a change in pace from Pepper Winters's darker side. It was a light, fun read. Loved the banter between Vesper and Ryder. I couldn't have read this at a better time seeing as how we just got a new puppy so I could relate to a lot of the goings on in this book. Well parts of it, anyway. The sex was hawt and aside for some borderline cheesy dialogue, I quite enjoyed it. Bravo on your debut romantic comedy, Ms. Winters! ...more

Such a cute, laugh at loud, corky story! Vesper a vet who loves her job and is annoyed by Ryder Carson who shows up all the time with different sick animals who need help but the annoying part is Ryder is hot as hell! Ryder is cocky, very flirty and humorous and wants Vesper bad but with all his perv jokes and touchiness will Vesper open up her heart and give Ryder a chance? Will Vesper finally find the man she's been wishing for? I laughed so hard at parts of this book I cried! Ryder has my per

I have no words for such talents. Pepper Winters has outdone herself in this release.
“Tell you that the past few months you’ve given me something that I haven’t had in a very long time. That I can be myself with you. I can play around and your snooty responses make me so fucking hard.”
Since she wrote all my favorite dark novels, I didn't expect this type from her but she blew me away. I loved all the elements in this book from writing to characters to plot. And I can't wait to read m ...more

“How quickly can you get naked?” My eyes flared open. “Is that a trick question?”
“She’d been a cow to me first, might as well milk her a bit to see what sort of cream I could earn.
Another bad analogy?
So what, I wasn’t a poet. Suck it.”
My Thoughts: The following are my thoughts about this book:
General:
- Trigger warning: animal cruelty. Off page, but the H rescues mistreated dogs so sometimes there were comments about what happened to the poor animals

So this book was something different from this author. She usually writes rather dark books (as Pepper Winters), which I love so much. This one, though, is a romantic comedy. I'm more into dark romance but I enjoy a funny book from time to time.

This was a sweet and pretty simple romance. No real OM or OW drama. the hero and heroine were devoted to one another throughout and neither was a man/woman whore. the sexual chemistry was steamy. I defiantly recommend to animal lovers.
Never laughed so hard until I read this book!
This book had me rolling the whole time. This is going to be in my top favorite reads this year. If your looking so something super hot and hilarious you found it right here. Ryder is my most favorite character.

As Tess Hunter, dark romance writer Pepper Winters ventures into a very different genre and aces it. Can’t Touch This is a silly, funny romance that could’ve been a complete miss if not for the powerful emotions coursing through the whole story. It may be an easy read, but it’s an unforgettable one.
Recommended for everyone. Seriously. Read this if you want a lighthearted read, a slightly emotional one, a funny one, a relaxing one… You won’t regret it.

You can't ever ever hide a genius. Pepper could write under pen name - Princess Consuela Banana Hammock and still be recognised for the sheer perfection of the story. Her furry baby died and she poured her heart out in this rom-com about a vet and an animal saviour . What a fantastic , funny, laugh-out-loud sweet little story it is.

Awesome romantic story that has such humor and love with a bit of angst thrown in. What was so sweet is it has a theme built in around animals , which being an animal lover myself, I totally adored. Vesper is a vet and totally rocks at her job because of her love for the animals. Only thing is , she has this client, Ryder Carson , who is quite bothersome because he is always around. He is so cocky and very flirty and in her face. Very distracting for Vesper because she doesn’t know how to respon

I absolutely loved this surprise release, cover and all!! "Can't Touch This" starts off kind of silly but with enough depth and substance that it drew me into the story right away and kept me interested (and laughing) throughout.

Cute and fun...
Ryder Carson is a pushy man. He never makes an appointment and demanded Vesper's attention when he brings in a rescued dog to her Veterinary Clinic. They rubbed each other the wrong way... or is that just frustration hiding as sexual tension?

A silly little comedic romance based around a vet and a dog rescuer. What saves this book is the well developed characters, that despite their inane backwards and forwards banter, the reader becomes attached to.

Tess Hunter is the superhero pen name of a New York Times, Wall Street Journal, & USA Today Bestseller who gave up swallowing her one-liners and decided to write them instead. Her libido scares even her and having an outlet to be snarky, stupid, and sexy while cloaked by incognito is the perfect recipe for naughtiness online and in-between the romance pages.
