I love, love, LOVE this book!

Warning bits:

- The ZOMBIE tag is not a mistake. There is actually a zombie dog, who is not a zombie, but pretty damn close, the way it acts.

- BDSM is very demure, mostly it's just the talk, but there is some spanking, some bondage and some ass whipping present in a couple of (short) scenes. Mostly tho, it's the talk.

Meh bits:

- It's imperfect, it drags at times, it's unrealistic, it's saccharine and dorky...

Good bits:

...BUT it's also very tender-sweet and funny and adorable and impossible to put down.

The break-in in the beginning is epic. The break out in the middle is very close to epic. The handcuffs! OMG, the handcuffs! And Peaches? Be afraid, be very very afraid, it's a zombie affenpinscher ape dog with an under bite!




And, of course, Dante!!! Dear man, you're so much fun! Even when you break hearts.

I am planning on starting Christopher's story soon. I hope he finds himself a big mean mafia machine. I hope they find the Sandwich Man and they feed him Peaches's gluten-infused poop (have to read the book, peeps!) ;)

Krissy, thank you so much for picking it for me in a challenge and then lending it to me to read! ♥ ( )

Not the best intro to the series

I love all of the books in the first and forever series, but this one was not up to the usually excellent standards set by the late books in the series.

I found the first person narration from the main character boring. I actually kept forgetting his name. He was surprisingly one dimensional. There was no real obstacle for the couple to overcome, no challenges to the relationship.

What stuck out to me the most, though, was the stiff, on the nose, dialogue. I kept thinking, no one talks like that in real life. Often, an awkward phase would pull me out of the story.

I would recommend skipping this one and reading the others, which are much better. The secondary characters here, particularly Christopher Robin, are much more compelling than Dante and Charlie. Even Peaches the dog had more depth. ( )

Really enjoyed this one. Another sweet and sexy read. loved Dante's grandmother! she had me cracking up in almost all her scenes. looking forward to Christopher's story. ( )
