I’m so done with men. I don’t care if he looks like Ryan Gosling with a ten-inch cucumber in his pants and says he wants me to have his babies.
Just, no. I’m done. I can’t pick them.
To make matters worse, the real estate investment company I work for is on the verge of collapse. There’s one deal that can save it, and it’s all up to me. I make this deal or look for a new job.
Problem is, I’m competing with the arrogant jerk who started my whole bad luck streak with men.
His smoldering green eyes have haunted me for more than a year, and if it weren’t for his cockiness, I would’ve been screaming his name during our first encounter.
He’s the competition now, and I can’t let him get to me. I have too much to lose.
But what if I want to have my studmuffin and eat it too?
Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars
I have read every book in this series, and each one of them has been great. Stud Muffin is the story of Oliver’s brother Tony (from Mr. Fiance) and Roxy’s best friend Hannah (from Heartstopper) and picks up a year after Roxy and Jake’s wedding — where Hannah had thrown a glass of punch in Tony’s face after he made a lewd comment.
But what sets Stud Muffin apart from the others in this series is that Hannah and Tony are more or less isolated from everyone else in their lives, physically competing against one another to win the sale of a Hawaiian paradise. Other than their friends Caleb and Cassie, who have accompanied them on this business trip, there aren’t alot of outside influences that affect Hannah and Tony’s budding relationship. And while finding out a lot about themselves, they learn so much about each other and fall in love against the most romantic backdrop in the world. Along with a little help from the whackadoodle named Wesley who has pitted them against one another in a Hunger Games-type competition. Seriously, the guy is a hoot!
Aside from Wesley’s gems like “Bulls**t is the seed of life… I say eat sh*i and live!” — the banter between Hannah and Tony is right on target. They make great adversaries, and have even better sexual chemistry. They are constantly trying to one up one another for the sake of being the victor in the competition for the property, but they manage to balance each other out. And in the end, both are willing to make major sacrifices in order for the other to be happy. Because now that they’ve fallen in love, no matter who wins the property, they stand to lose one another.
Stud Muffin is a standalone, but there are appearances from all of the other characters from the previous books in this series. Man, I hope that Lauren Landish writes Caleb and Cassie’s story next because I am dying to know what the deal is with those two!
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
