Wallbanger
by Alice Clayton
**I received a free copy from www.netgalley.com for a fair review.
Um, what just happened to me? Did I seriously just read a book called "Wallbanger" and ENJOY it?! Silly title aside, this story was hilarious, adorable, and totally fun. Not to mention it surprised me at ever turn, throwing most of the trope-y romance novel bullshit out of the window and never taking itself too seriously. Caroline is a strong lady with her own career, in charge of her sexuality, and not afraid to tell a guy what she wants, be it in life or in the bedroom. And Simon, even Caroline misjudges him. He may have many lady lovers, but he knows all of their names, knows what they want, and is actually friends with them. Caroline also has a past, which is great. No wilting unrealistic virgin here.
The best part, these two spend the majority of the book flirting, getting to know each other, and NOT having a sex. And that my friends, is super hot.
Oh, and don't forget Clive the kitty. He's pretty adorbs too.
Seriously seriously surprised by this one. My major gripe was the terrible editing and lack of capital letters in my egalley copy, but I can only assume the real version was tightened up. Also, addressing and talking to your orgasm as a proper noun ("o") as well as other body parts like "Brain" and "LC" (I'll let you figure out what that one means) got a bit annoying, but ah well. Not even close to as terrible as the "inner goddess" from a different series.

"Sure, we could've raced right back to the bedroom that night and let the sex ring out across the city for days, but Simon and I, without saying a word, seemed to be on the same page for once, and were content to let this unfold. He was wooing me, and I was letting him woo. I wanted the woo. I deserved the woo.
Oh, and don't forget Clive the kitty. He's pretty adorbs too.
