Standalone Sunday is a feature created by Megan@bookslayereadsย where each Sunday a standalone book (not part of a series) that I loved or would recommend will be featured!
I love that meme as it takes little time to do (Iโm always running like the real busy bee I am) AND I get to promote a book I really loved. This is the perfect idea for me!
If you want to play, feel free but donโt forget to tag Meganโs blog.
This Sunday I chose to feature one of the most hilarious books I’ve ever read with the added bonus of a very hot hero!
Here comes A Reason To Kill by C.P. Smith.
WARNING: Author believes in soul mates and insta-love, proceed with caution if you’re not a romantic at heart.
Max Hunter has a problem. Well, two, actually. One he fished out of the river, and the other? . . . A killer.
Mia Roberts has a problem that stands six foot five and swings an axe like a God. On assignment to study the grizzlies of the Alaskan frontier, she stumbles across a body and then stumbles into the arms of a lumberjack she can’t resist.
Throw in Max’s mother into the mix and a handful of crazy friends and family and you have a recipe for adventure.
Rated B for Bossy, F for funny, T for Thor, God of Thunder, R for language, explicit sexual content and EDIBLE UNDIES. For mature audiences only. 18 and above.
5 LMAO stars
I read some great reviews about this story so, why not? And now I can say, if you want a funny read with a zest of mystery, a bunch of colorful sidekicks and hot lumberjacks, go for it!
I had a blast reading this one, it had me laugh out loud so many times my man thought I had seizures.
Imagine: Alaska, its mountains, crystal clear lakes, blue skies, forests, its grizzlies and hot hunky men.
A team of biologists comes in the small local town to complete a five years study on grizzlies. Mia, city girl, desk biologist and vertically challenged literally falls from the plane and is expected to lead this team. Sheโs never been on the field, never camped in the wilds and longs to come back to her city and well ordained life.
Only problem, Max, King of the town will set his eyes on her and will do everything to keep her.
Meet Mia through Maxโs eyes:
โCute โass tees, clumsy feet, with the heart of an angel and a passion for her work that spills over everything she does.โ
Mia is attracted to Max right away. He is
โBig, well over six feet and two hundred and thirty pounds of pure brawn.
He has dark, slightly curly hairs, green eyes and a massive body. He swings axes on targets, climbs trees and rescues damsels in distress. Whatโs not to love right? And as Mia so wisely said : He is Thor in flannel! (yes, I really did like this one too). And on his bad deceiving days he regresses to Lokiโs status.
If Mia falls for Max, he canโt stop thinking about her either, even if he knows right away sheโll be a pain in his ass. It seems โ the bigger they are, the harder they fallโ. After a drunken night at the local bar and a smoking hot karaoke, he is hooked line and sinker.
Now, all heโll have to do is:
-convince Mia she is the one;
-protect her from a killer lurking in the shadows,
-save her beloved bears from being hunted;
-chain her to his bed to avoid any disaster she is always (even involuntarily) running into;
-run his company (it became more a hobby since Miaโs arrival);
-keep eyes on his mischievous mother.
As you can see, Max had his hands full and life โhas never been boring since Miaโs arrivalโ.
I loved so many things in this book, in no particular order:
-Miaโs cartoon tees (with Care Bears on her bust or Scooby Doo and the gang);
-Miaโs thoughts of Max :
โTen kids? Of course, he has potent written all over him. Iโll be knocked up every time I have a viable egg.โ
or
โ Wet Max + Naked Max = Turned On Miaโ;
-the secondary characters or more accurately the sidekicks. This small town had many colorful people. You have Maxine (Maxโs mother) and Martha, both widowed old ladies running their own business: they sell sex toys door-to-door and organize great parties for the local ladies with means cock-o-late on sticks. Oh, and strip poker nights too (much to Maxโs dismay). Lucy, Miaโs intern, always up for some crazy Girls night and Jesse, Miaโs outrageous aunt. I loved the โGirl Powerโ (and even more the โMature Ladies Powerโ) in this book;
-all these sexy hunk in flannel shirts and ripped body (I must plan a travel in Alaska);
-the banter through and through (Mia, Max, Maxine and Jess are all very opinionated).
So, all in all, 5 enthusiastic stars.
