Book Review – Rusty Nailed by Alice Clayton with Giveaway

06/25/2014

Rusty Nailed

Rusty Nailed (Cocktail 2) by Alice Clayton

Part of a series but has an ending. Must be read after Wallbanger.

I feel like I have been waiting for Rusty Nailed forever! The Redhead Series secured Alice Clayton on my list of favorite authors, then Wallbanger just reinforced it. Alice has a way of mixing sweet, serious, sexy and laugh-out-loud funny that just makes you fall in love with all of her books. Wallbanger ended well, and as much as it’s nice to visit a favorite couple again, it totally wasn’t necessary (but I have no complaints!), so I just thought this book was about another couple. When I love an author the way I do Alice, I don’t even read the blurb before I dive in, so after a few pages, I decided to re-read Wallbanger to get back into Simon and Caroline’s relationship (there is my lack of memory again!) and come back to Rusty Nailed.

I am so glad I did! I loved Wallbanger even more the second time around, even adjusting my rating a bit higher to reflect that. (See my review). Rusty Nailed is definitely a second book. We don’t have the excitement and banter of a couple who may or may not get together. We don’t have the tease that we had for like 90% of Wallbanger. But we do have much more of ‘Pink Nighty Girl’ and ‘Wallbanger’, going through the ups and downs of a relationship. It was funny, though not as funny as the first, it was sweet, it was real, and thank goodness, it was sexy.

And there was lots of our favorite cat, the awesome Clive (who totally makes me want a cat).

Clive

“He arranged his paw in a way that one of his little kitty fingers was sticking straight up. Not an accident, I’m quite sure.”

Caroline and Simon are doing incredibly well. They still have their separate apartments even though they sleep together most nights when Simon is in town. Caroline enjoys his out-of-town photography jobs, because she occasionally likes her alone time. It’s one of the reasons  their relationship works so well. She also still uses her favorite appliance to make Simon moan.

“Every woman needed a little self-love once in a while. Am I right? And my self-love machine was stainless steel, powerful, and came with an optional sausage attachment. Ahem.” ~Caroline, referring to her KitchenAid mixer.

“I’ve got turnovers.”
“I already like where this is going,” he murmured, his hands tightening around my waist,
“No no, I mean I have turnovers that I need to put in the oven.”
“Wait, those are like tiny pies, right?”
“Yes, Simon, they’re like tiny pies.”
“Apple?”
“Cherry.”
“Have Mercy.”
“You know what it does to me when you go Uncle Jesse on me.”

Caroline and Simon found a relationship that works. They are explosive and hot when they are together, but they are busy with work, and also work fine when apart. They are learning to deal with conflict a little too.

Well, good goddamn, Dr. Phil, color me impressed,” I said, clinking my coffee cup to his. “So what do we do next? Y’know, as people in a relationship after they’ve resolved a conflict?” 


“Pretty sure a blow job should follow this,” he said seriously.

But things start to change a bit when Jillian decides to take a very extended honeymoon, and she leaves Caroline in charge of the whole company. She also has Caroline and Simon house sitting in the ‘suburbs”, a place they said they would never want to be. But it grows on them.

Pretty soon, Simon is turning down jobs, Caroline is working her ass off, and the tables have turned. In fact a pizza box with Cory Weinstein’s photo may be enough to push Caroline into another “Great Orgasm Hiatus”.

There is a huge lack of communication between the couple, but luckily it doesn’t cause any major damage or angst, just kind of an annoying undertone. There is also the big side story of Neil and Sophia that takes up a chunk of this book.

Likes:

  • Alice’s signature humor shines through.
  • The characters are delightfully immature adults (Love that, so am I)
  • More of Pink Nighty Girl and Wallbanger? Yes please.
  • Simon…I fell even more in love with him. He was perfect.
  • Clive’s adventures were pretty awesome.
  • Great sex right from the start this time.
  • LOVED the epilogue!

Dislikes:

  • Caroline’s pickle got on my nerves (heh). TALK to him!!!!
  • Felt like a second book, I missed the falling in love excitement, and the messy real world stepped in a little too much.
  • Not as funny as the first book, although it was still funny.

Rating: 4.25 stars, 4.25 Heat

I loved reading Rusty Nailed. It was refreshingly funny, sexy and sweet. I fell even deeper for Simon, but got a little annoyed by Caroline. Simon was being amazing and she didn’t appreciate it enough to talk to him about her issues. This part of the story just went on a little too long for me. Still, I totally recommend it, and every other book by Alice Clayton. She writes the perfect blend of funny, sweet and sexy that is just my favorite type of happy-making book.

I liked the Rom-Com Agenda enough to read the whol I liked the Rom-Com Agenda enough to read the whole thing. I liked the characters, but the hero spent the entire book trying to get his ex back instead of seeing what was right in front of him way sooner. She deserved better.

- @catherinecowlesauthor has been a favorite of mi - @catherinecowlesauthor has been a favorite of mine for the last few years. In 2022, the entire Tattered and Torn series released, and I loved every single one of them. I listened to them all on audio, and they each deserve a place on my Best of 2022 list, especially Fractured Sky, which I gave a rare 5+++ stars to.

They also have the most beautiful covers!

The first two audiobooks in this unrelated series The first two audiobooks in this unrelated series were on my Best of 2021 List, and Seatmate by @carabastone has continued the streak for my Best of 2022 list. The full cast narration and the production of this “audioplay” is what made Seatmate a 5-star read for me. I really felt like I was eavesdropping on a real conversation. This was a quick and fun listening experience, and though it’s nothing epic, it stood out to me in 22.

I enjoyed The Back Nine by Rachel Blaufeld. It’s I enjoyed The Back Nine by Rachel Blaufeld. It’s rare to find books about older couples and I so appreciate when an author writes a sexy one. I had a couple of issues with it, and I really struggled with the heroine’s name, James. Every time I read her name (and the female MC for the next book is Billy) my brain had to catch up for a second that it was a girl.

Top Pick of 2022: @kristenashleybooks has been on Top Pick of 2022: @kristenashleybooks has been on all 11 lists (since 2012), and for good reason!
Taking the Leap by Kristen Ashley is my favorite book she has written in a while. It very much focuses on Alex and Rix and it didn’t feel like I had to remember a ton of other characters. I felt their chemistry and how perfect they are for each other. 
I love how Kristen handled a disabled hero. This is one you don’t want to miss! Have you read it yet?

Another Top Pick of 2022! The Love Hypothesis by @ Another Top Pick of 2022! The Love Hypothesis by @alihazelwood lived up to all the hype. I absolutely loved the smart, slow-burn romance that subtly addressed a lot of issues without ever banging you over the head with them. This is one of those books you might be able to recommend to even the non-romance reader even though it’s very much a romance. It just has that “something special”.

I am usually very stingy with my five star reads, I am usually very stingy with my five star reads, but A Long Time Coming by @meghanquinnbooks had everything I ever want in a book. Lia and Breaker’s nerdy friendship morphed into such a great romance, but it took its time, and I loved that; I thought the pace was just perfect. I listened to A Long Time Coming with a HUGE smile on my face the whole time. If I could hug this audiobook I would!

The duet narration from @mallonerin and @j.f.harding made it even better.

The Other Half of the Grave by @jfrostauthor is an The Other Half of the Grave by @jfrostauthor is another of my top reads for 2022. 

I read the first book of the Night Huntress Series, Halfway to the Grave in 2009, and I can honestly say it’s still in my top 3 series ever, so when I saw she was writing the first book again from the male POV this time, I was a little nervous but also excited. Thankfully I had nothing to be nervous about! I absolutely LOVED it and I am so glad to hear she is continuing to do Bone’s POV for the 2nd book as well!

Another 2022 Top Favorite is Carrie Soto is Back b Another 2022 Top Favorite is Carrie Soto is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid.  I am still blown away by the fact that this non-tennis fan loved this all-tennis book so much. I loved that Carrie Soto is Back tackled so many issues women in sports face, especially women of color. This powerful story really illustrated the costs of greatness, and the sacrifices one needs to make in order to make it to the top. The narration made it even better, and the tennis had me on the edge of my seat! (I don’t even like tennis!)
