R. G. Alexander

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author R.G. Alexander Can you be Fearless? Rory Finn used to have a sinful reputation and a fetish for a certain kind of man-the straighter the better. But since the Mistletoe Meltdown, he's turned over a new leaf...just in time for his two best friends to start breaking one of the few rules they had-with each other. The past haunts him, but if he can find the courage to trust them with his heart, and his secrets, he can have the kind of love he's always needed...from the two people he's always craved. Warning: This book has male/male/male nookie. (Gay for you, Pan for you, Bi for you, Try for you.) That's right, three sexy guys, nerdy references, vampire love triangle obsessions and a game of X-rated trivia that everybody wins. I won't bother listing all the things they do to each other. If you've read the warning to this point and you know the Finn Factor series at all? You can probably guess. *some sensitive elements-past trauma*

5 STARS again for a Robin Alexander book. 

This is probably one of Alexander's best books, especially in last few years. Although I gave them 4-5 stars - I definitely enjoyed this one the most. I loved the two MCs who meet on a cruise - Fallon, who is adventurous, go with the flow type (well, except when her girlfriend breaks up with her, mid cruise) and then there is her opposite - Haley, a workaholic, cold, and focused but she did go on this cruise to try to expand. But things don't go as planned and the two of them end up stranded on Roatan, a resort Island off the coast of Honduras. 

The first half of the book is them getting to know each other and explore the island resort. They meet Marcus the hotel owner who puts them up and under his protection. He is now one of my favorite Alexander characters plus he's not her usual comic relief side character. The second half is them getting back to their real world and navigating their relationship, friends, family and the changes in both of them. 

Yes, this is a laugh and guffaw out loud Alexander book but without the quirky, off kilter older lady, grandmother, mother, etc. Well, I guess Dee & Haley's Father plays that role to an extent. I don't know, it felt less slapsticky. Perhaps more dialogue humor? When I reread this book I'll probably change my mind on this point. Huh. Especially now as I recall Halley & her Dad's interactions.

I'm going to have to remember highlight favorite passages as I read. Here's two that I did do -
““We are very different in our approaches to people. I go in like a puppy. ‘I like you, I like you, I like you.’ You’re more like ‘let me sniff you first,”’ Falon said with a laugh.”

“When I was going through women like tissues at a funeral” Fallon 

If you like Alexander, read this book. If you never read her, read this book. If you don't like her, give it a try.

Strap on your Depends and grab this book. My wife thinks I'm insane because I was laughing through huge sections of this book. Not giggling, out and out laughing and in some instances until I had tears in my eyes. I will never go zip lining but I feel like I've had the adventure myself. This book also makes me want to hug a sloth.
