4 Stars!

Marley, Hailey and Tori are 3 close friends that met each other through their love of books. Between the 3 of them they considered themselves a book club. They would read the same books together and meet up to talk about them. Then they decide to start a "Book Blog" on FB so that they can post pictures of sexy ass guys with out their husbands, friends or family seeing them and getting offended. I loved that I was able to relate to certain aspects of the story. So much of this book reminded me of us girls from I Love Story Time!! I loved that this book talks about book signings and the models that are there. Being to a few personally, I was able to picture all the scenes from the book at these types of events.


I could not stop laughing through out this book! I loved it! I loved all the characters, but my favorite was Marley. That girl was hilarious. I think my favorite part with her was how she gave guys different names from different books! I seriously almost wish I was single so I can do that. She was just pure, raw, and straight to the point; holding nothing back. She told it like it was and took it just as hard. Some of the things that came out of her mouth were priceless. I can't wait to read more about her and see who her real life book boyfriend will be! She deserves so much. I am wondering if someone from her past will come back again or if it will be someone new?

Hailey was sweet. I felt bad for her past. Reading about what happened in the past and how she was raised was heartbreaking. Now she is married and owns a bakery and living the life she never thought she would have. But it is not what she thought it was. Then she goes to a book signing and realizes what she has been missing. All I do know is, my favorite scene with her was when she was with David. I seriously could not stop laughing at what she was thinking. I loved that part. I loved it because in all books that I have read, that is never the case. Poor David. LOL... I hope that Hailey gets the fairy tale that she is looking for.

Tori is the most straight and narrow out of the 3 friends. She was raised dotting her "I's" and crossing her "T"s. One night in college she lets loose and her life changes instantly. Now she is married with 2 kids and living the everyday life as a mom. She later finds out something about her husband's past that changes their relationship. Marley and Hailey are there for her to help them work things out. I really did like her husband "Jake- from state farm". I can tell how much he really did love her and willing to give her what she needs. Hope we are able to get more about them in the next book as well!

I really enjoyed this story. It was a great easy, funny and sexy read. I liked the characters and the relationship they had and how open they were with each other. I haven't laughed out loud so much while reading a story in a while so that was nice. I will be looking forward to reading book 2 when it comes out in November to see what comes next for these lovely ladies!
