Yes! That's why I gave it 3 stars, and in my opinion it was an okay book i couldn't see the hype.

This was hyped up back in the day. I mean- all my book friends were reading and loving it.
I think the amount of books available to read now is so vast that we don’t always succumbed to the FOMO lol
But then, sometimes we do anyway 🤣
wait he orgasmed when touched her breasts???
i don’t remember this part, the only thing i remember was the strip club scene where he gets a lap dance but doesn’t like it so leaves and i’m 100% sure his first orgasm happened when they kissed for the first time aka before the stripper scene
i just reread the scene, he doesn’t orgasm but he does get the lap dance thats why this was a 4 star for me😅
Ugh he had feelings but he goes to a strip club? Does he touch her breasts? Cause that’s def cheating. If he did orgasm which (839) said he didnt….. then that is def cheating. Why ruin a good sweet book? Giiiiirrrrllllll strip clubs and triggers 😳😤… yeah no
I always skip over recs for this book, I won’t read it given how so many of my friends had it ruined by this scene.
so the thing is that he’s lived in alone in isolation all his life and has absolutely no social experience whatsoever, so his trashy cousin travis convinces him to spend some time with him and “the boys” which bree the h, encouraged what neither of them knew was that travis took him to a strip club, at first archer is shocked about all thats happening there but travis tells him that this normal and women like their men to be experienced something archer wasn’t but bree was, the H also see’s many men in there with wedding rings and foolishly believes travis, basically travis plays with his embarrassment over not having any experience and sends him into a room with a girl the H used to have a crush on when he was 14, now the girl gives him a lap dance but he doesn’t like it in the sense it feels wrong though he does get an erection which is obviously a bodily reaction! so he gets up and leaves
while i was irritated af, i think the H was just manipulated
@rasa I remember feeling that way, too. But now I don't think I want to read it again because I don't want to ruin my original feelings about it. lol
Yup,same here. An entire sweet and innocent love story ruined by one thoughtless scene. I won’t ever read this. That strip club scene basically told the readers that any girl could get him off, so what makes their love so special🤷🏻♀️.
And you guys sure he didn’t orgasm with the stripper? There are reviewers who said he did.🤷🏻♀️ maybe author changed it.
i think i agree with @me and @ rasa i might’ve liked this book back then but i wouldn’t give it a reread
@jena i think the author changed it because i read this book last year for the first time and it didn’t have that scene, i would’ve remembered the book would’ve been a 2 star for me if he had enjoyed stuff willingly with the stripper
@M.E lol that’s why I won’t touch most of my favorite bodice rippers. I’d literally rage read them all now and 1 star them all.😂. Honestly, don’t trust any reviews from me older than 5 years. I can’t be trusted.
Try to find the scene where you get to experience the whole thing from the H’s pov. By him saying “ my body…reacted” it could mean he orgasmed but couldn’t say that to her.
Mmm," she moaned, rubbing herself against me. "I can't wait to ride that big, thick cock of yours, gorgeous. Do you like it fast and wild or slow and deep? Hmmm?" She crooned. "We're gonna find out, aren't we, baby?"
My body reacted to her words, but inside, something about this felt wrong. I didn't even know this girl. Was I really supposed to use her for sex and then go home to Bree, the girl I actually cared about? Is that really what Jason did with his wife? I wanted Bree to see me like she saw other men–I didn't want her to want to kiss Travis–but this, this seemed… God, I couldn't think through the alcohol and the way Amber was rubbing me through my jeans. All my thoughts were jumbled together, my emotions all over the place. I needed to get out of this room. I'd just get this over with and go home. And then first thing in the morning, I'd go to Bree.
————-
then the scene cuts to this
I stumbled out of the room ten minutes later and went to find Travis. He was still at the table we had been sitting at, a redhead sitting on his lap. I tapped him on his shoulder, and he looked back over at me and a huge smile came over his face. He nudged the redhead off his lap and said, "Ready to go home, buddy?"
“I’ll just get this over with and go home.” Then he orgasms … and a bunch of safety readers got pissed and warned readers about the orgasm scene here.😂. Thanks ladies for checking for us. 👌
Or maybe he full on had sex. Now that the ten minute was removed, we could think up anything… they went in there for sex, and he did say get it over with and go home.😂
@jena that makes it even worse, oh god archer sounds like a trashy fuckboy, guess who’s no more one of my 839 book boyfriends😬😐
Yeah. Now he either f’ed the stripper
Or got a bj
Or a hand job 🤷🏻♀️
Omg now I wanna lower my rating even more 😭
And I agree. Travis is an AHOLEEEEEE!
I’m gonna check out my version. I bought it a looooong time ago. Maybe mine has the complete version
Ew this was on my TBR for so long and now I’m so glad I never got around to it! Thank you for this 😬
Man. I hate Travis! I feel terrible for Archer, but it’s not like he was forced to be there… but the damn peer pressure is horrible 😭
Why dammit! Why ruin a perfectly good hero 😭
Wow ..this review brings a new perspective to me..I didn’t realized I’ve read this book years ago and still give it 5 stars 😣
They did stuff together. He touched the strippers breasts and compared them to Bree’s. 🤢 I think he came because of the lapdance and then left. He still allowed the stripper to be on top of him though, so I clarify this as cheating. I read a book once where the main couple was married and the hero became infatuated with a former girlfriend. He kept things from his wife (the h), lied to her about his whereabouts and was wining and dining his former high school girlfriend. It went too far when he kissed her and felt each other up, but he stopped it. The heroine’s girlfriends then all told her, “well he didn’t really cheat on you, cause he didn’t sleep with her”. Ugh.. yeah he did.. when your man’s hands, mouth or any other body part is on another woman than his significant other it is cheating. That even women don’t get to say this.🤷🏼♀️ But for this book, it really ruined their romance for me. He was so genuine and within a few pages all through the drain 😭
Gross why do authors ruin books with this crap🤮 Sounds like it could have been so good if that scene wasn’t there…

I also gave it 5 stars years ago. I think if I reread it from beginning to end, I would probably raise it to like 3 stars because I have fond memories of Archer, and he was so gullible 😭. I hate Travis 🤬

Yeah. At this point in Archer, they both have feeling for each other and both have made each other orgasm 🤷🏻♀️. They’re invested and want each other. I would say this is cheating even if he was tricked. Ugh

I know 😭😭😭. Archer was soooo swoony and sweet 😩😩😩 why dammit why?!?!?!
He did cheat. He said “I’ll just get this over with and go home. And then first thing in the morning, I’d go to Bree.” This passage about going to see Bree first thing in the morning confirms his commitment to the h.
And omg he got a hickey from the stripper! Wtf the girl must’ve been all over him…and he allowed that and orgasmed. 🤮🤮🤮
Just read the edited spoilers. So he got a hang job from the stripper lol, it wasn’t just a lap dance and him orgasm because he rubbed the strippers breasts and nipples the way Bree liked. Ew..
Did I miss reading the orgasm part? I can’t find it…did the author edit it more than once? Maybe the book will be totally different in a few years, she might just delete the whole stripper scene next.
Or maybe the reviewers thought “my body ….reacted” to mean he came, since he was with her for 10 mins and she was up giving him a hand job while he was running her tits. In any case, never reading this. Thanks for all the spoilers, ladies!

Yeah. That’s what I’m thinking. He “reacted” could be he’s hard or
It could be he came 🤷🏻♀️
With enough friction/rubbing, he’s going to orgasm. 10 minutes later? What else could’ve happened?
Ugh… he might’ve not entered the stripper, but he was rubbing her 😭
