Audiobook Review: Stuck Up Suit by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward

06/03/2016

Audio Stuck Up Suit

Stuck Up Suit by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward

Narrated by Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell
Standalone Contemporary Romance, vaguely related to Cocky Bastard.

I have not read Cocky Bastard, the first in this series of standalone by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward, but I saw that Stuck Up Suit was a bestseller for so long, and everyone was loving it and I wanted to fit it in, but couldn’t! Until I saw the audiobook, YAY! Now I see why it was a bestseller. Stuck Up Suit was a fun, addictive, sexy, sweet, emotional read, and I loved it!

I usually do my own little recap of the basic setup, but the blurb actually says way more than I would (I just realized I never once read the blurb until now lol).

It started out like any other morning on the train.
Until I became mesmerized by the guy sitting across the aisle.
He was barking at someone on his phone like he ruled the world.
Who did the stuck-up suit think he was…God?
Actually, he looked like a God. That was about it.
When his stop came, he got up suddenly and left. So suddenly, he dropped his phone on the way out.
I might have picked it up.
I might have gone through all of his photos and called some of the numbers.
I might have held onto the mystery man’s phone for days―until I finally conjured up the courage to return it.
When I traipsed my ass across town to his fancy company, he refused to see me.
So, I left the phone on the empty desk outside the arrogant jerk’s office.
I might have also left behind a dirty picture on it first though.
I didn’t expect him to text back.
I didn’t expect our exchanges to be hot as hell.
I didn’t expect to fall for him―all before we even met.
The two of us couldn’t have been any more different.
Yet, you know what they say about opposites.
When we finally came face to face, we found out opposites sometimes do more than attract―we consumed each other.
Nothing could have prepared me for the ride he took me on. And I certainly wasn’t prepared for where I’d wind up when the ride was over.
All good things must come to an end, right?
Except our ending was one I didn’t see coming.

I loved Soraya! She was a lot like my friends. A feisty New York Italian girl with tattooed and colorful hair, and she wasn’t afraid to speak her mind. Graham was a horribly mean boss, eternally cranky at work, but bossy, sexy, sweet and hot outside of work. I loved how they were opposites, yet they each grounded each other, and loved the unique qualities of the other without ever trying to change each other.

All I could think about was how I couldn’t wait to be inside of her, how I wanted to claim every inch of her, every orifice. I wanted to own her, but the truth was…she already owned me. I was so fucked.

He was so deliciously dirty…yet sweet and swoony.

“Let me tell you something, Soraya. I may not be the nicest guy on the planet or even the best fit for you. In fact, I know I’m not. But you can’t deny what’s going on between us. There’s only one end to this.”
“And what’s that?”
“Me buried deep inside of you.”
“That can’t happen.”
“Every damn night, I dream about that fucking tongue ring swirling around my cock. You’re all I can think about. In fact, you were all I could think about before I even saw your gorgeous face. But after that happened, I was a goner.” I caressed her cheek again. “Just spend time with me.”

Stuck Up Suit quote

Likes:

  • Soraya was different. A New York Italian, she was feisty, with a mouth, she had tattoos, dyed the tips of her hair to match her mood, and she was curvy. I loved her fresh, cool New York personality.
  • She wasn’t a sweet innocent virgin.
  • I loved the name Soraya (but the fact that the two narrators pronounced it differently bugged me).
  • The texting/sexting.
  • It was funny and totally sexy.
  • Graham is totally swoony. Even more so after the twist.
  • They were very open and honest with each other (well, for a while), and I liked the way they really seemed to communicate well.
  • He was dirty, sweet, possessive and …ROAR!…. Yum.
  • OMG, the General Hospital references totally sealed my love for this book. I watched it for like 20 years and got all the references.
  • The Sex in the City references.
  • The goat.
  • I liked both narrators a lot.

Dislikes:

  • The twist almost took up too much of the story, and it just seemed so…generic.
  • Graham turned from Stuck Up to Swoony a bit too quickly.
  • I know…you have to suspend reality when reading a book, but nowadays he would have either done a location search on the phone or quickly replaced it. What businessman would go a few days with no phone?

The Down & Dirty:

I loved the unique premise for Stuck Up Suit. I loved how different the couple was. I loved how it was fun and feisty. I loved Soraya’s personality, and that she seemed like a regular, real girl. I loved how hot they were together. The twist, however, took away from their story to me, so I couldn’t give it the 5 stars I thought I would during the first half. Don’t get me wrong, I still loved it, but I think these two authors can do better than using a common plot device.

Rating: 4.5 stars for story, 4.5 flames for heat, 4.5 for Audio

FAVORITE BOOK/AUDIOBOOK THIS YEAR! Mary Jane by @j FAVORITE BOOK/AUDIOBOOK THIS YEAR! Mary Jane by @jessicaanyablau was so amazing, especially in audio. This coming-of-age novel set in 1975 was different than what I usually read, and I so enjoyed seeing the 14-year-old sheltered heroine see what life is like nannying for a progressive family who happens to be hiding a rock star for the summer.

Mary Jane is the perfect summer read, especially if you grew up during this time, and the narration by @caitlin.kinnunen was absolutely outstanding.

I couldn’t recommend it more.

The full cast narration and the production of this The full cast narration and the production of this “audioplay” is what made Seatmate a 5-star read for me. The storyline was cute and I loved the characters, but it wasn’t a deep, epic romance, it was a sweet and fun novella. Listening to it with headphones made it a full experience, and Amanda Ronconi and Zachary Webber felt so natural. I really felt like I was eavesdropping on a real conversation, and it just made Seatmate by @carabastone another 5 star favorite.
I love this whole series!

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by @tjenkinsreid The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by @tjenkinsreid is such a layered story, and it’s an important one. There are messages and themes running throughout to embrace all of yourself, and it shows what women have had to do throughout the years to get ahead. It’s filled with brilliant social commentary without ever hitting you over the head with it. It’s light at times, heavy at others, but engrossing the whole time. This is a book I am happy to recommend to anyone looking for a great book with our asking any qualifying questions.

I’m just starting this audiobook about a couple I’m just starting this audiobook about a couple married for 35 years, about to get a divorce, when the pandemic lockdown hits. Will being forced to be “safe at home” together help or end the marriage faster?

Tell me, what are your thoughts on pandemic romances? Is it too soon? Personally, I like it. It feels weird to not mention something that has been part of our lives for over 2 years. I will let you know how I like it later this week, stay tuned!
