This Habitat for Humanity build is about to erect more than walls... I don't fall for the bad boy or try to tie down the commitment-phobe. Nope. Those dating ruts would be understandable. My pattern of hunky male crushing involves falling for gay men. So when I meet Owen Phillips at a Habitat for Humanity project, a man as sexy as a cowboy drenched in sunset, I refrain from flirting openly. I do my darndest to gauge his interest first. Unfortunately, after sharing lunches and falling hard for my construction hunk, I catch another man squeezing his fine behind. Turns out the butt squeezer is Owen's brother, not a lover, and I'm about to embarrass the heck out of myself... STUD is a full-length, standalone Smart, Sexy Romantic Comedy.

I have a new favorite book boyfriend and his name is Owen Phillips. My goodness did this man to things to me. He was so sweet and sexy and just… good. I swooned all over the place for him. Also, Ainsley is pretty amazing in her own right and I have a total girl crush on her. I would so be friends with her in real life. She was totally relatable and I loved her sassy, smart self.

Stud was such a fun read. It was light and sweet and kept me chuckling, but also got me in the feels a couple times. Ainsley and her gal pals — including Rachel from Legs – are absolutely hilarious and awesome and show what female friendships should really be. I love their banter and how they’re truly there for each other. It’s so good. I also loved Owen’s relationship with his brother, Emmett. (I would SO love to see Emmett get a book or novella of his own one of these days. Yes, I’m greedy.)

My favorite part about the book, however, should be no surprise at all. It’s the romance between Ainsley and Owen. Actually, it’s everything about Ainsley and Owen — from the first meet to the friendship they built and finally to the super swoony and sexy af relationship. These two had so much chemistry it was hard to believe Ainsley could ever think he was gay. Of course, given her past crushes on gay men, I can also understand why she was cautious. But it did make for some good laughs as she realized that no, Owen really was as straight as they come. And he was just as into her as she was him. Of course there were some obstacles — *cough* Owen’s ex wife *cough* — but the book never got too angsty. And it didn’t fall victim to the conflict-could’ve-been-solved-with-one-conversation-itis that’s so common in books.

If you’re looking for your next favorite romance read, you should definitely think about Stud. It was the perfect mix of sweet, steamy and funny, a pure delight.

FAVORITE QUOTES

I believe in love at first sight. In happily ever after. I believed in touches that healed and kisses that could cut a man down.

My gaydar wasn’t just broken. It was smashed, splintered, and had been set on fire. I could never trust my intuition again.

“I’m going to fucking ravage you.”
“I’m going to fuck you so hard the sheets will catch fire.”
