Dirty Rowdy Thing by Christina Lauren
5.0

Finn is one of my favs, a big, quiet grump with a heart of gold and some mad skills with rope. Listening to this book was a true delight and I loved Sebastian York's voice for Finn. Harlow is also a fab heroine. I love that she knows she's hot, knows her worth, and is not afraid to let her light shine and to go for what she wants.

Wow, I treated you wrong with that old review book. You can see a huge change in my attitude towards romance as I've come to terms with the fact I LOVE ROMANCE and I'm not afraid to shout my love from the rooftops anymore. It is not trash, it is amazing, fun, and totally worth every minute I spend reading it. Sorry book. I really do love you and your sexy fisherman (and the rope).


While I usually detest the "we met and married after one wild night in Vegas" trope, I have to say this series is having fun (super steamy fun) with it. Also, since this is book #2, we don't dwell too much on those events, and instead dwell in the aftermath, namely that they married, quickly got it annulled despite the obvious sexual chemistry, but can't deny they still want each other even though they hate each other too. I love when characters have a past they are struggling against.

Again, with most of these, escapist trash at it's funnest.
