Ball Peen Hammer

Ball Peen Hammer

Lauren Rowe β€” 2017
Keane Morgan wouldn't return any of my calls or texts, and I was pissed as hell about it. I didn't want to drive from Seattle to L.A. with the guy any more than he wanted to drive with me, but I had no frickin' choice in the matter--at least, not if I wanted to use his brother Dax's coveted parking spot at UCLA. Okay, so it turned out Keane was objectively gorgeous, and, fine, pretty funny, too. But did he have to be so damned in love with himself? I mean, jeez, the cocky way he flashed those dimples was just so orchestrated. And, honestly, what kind of guy uses the phrase "baby doll" with a straight face? Oh, that's right: the kind of guy who's a male stripper. Yup, the cocky jerk turned out to be Seattle's answer to Magic Mike, a stripper know as "Ball Peen Hammer"--which meant Keane Morgan was emphatically not the kind of guy I'd ever fall far. Not. At. All. No freakin' way. Well, until Keane convinced me to fall for him, that is. Which I did. Hard.

Received for an honest review. I've got to admit at first I found this hard going. The language and wide use of slang was kind of hard for me to wade my way through. I know it adds to the characters and fits with their personalities but I found it almost annoying. I also found the wide use of nicknames a bit confusing. I haven't read the Club series so I found it a little hard to follow the different names. But I liked Ball Peen Hammer. Keane really wore me down and in the end I ended up loving him. BPH is a sweet story but I fear the use of slang will severely date it in a few months and I felt it wasn't all entirely necessary, I think the point could've been made without trying to be so hip but it was an enjoyable read.
