Hump Day Book #1: Wallbanger


Today’s book recommendation is Wallbanger by Alice Clayton. I am sure everybody expected a trilogy with whips, chains, and handcuffs to be my first Hump Day book (don’t worry, it’s already on the list), but I think Wallbanger deserves the first spot.

This is a story about a young single girl, to whom I think nearly every woman can relate. Without giving away too much, she is young, vivacious, and beginning a career as an interior designer in San Francisco. She loves Food Network, has a hilarious cat – and I don’t even like cats because I’m deathly allergic – and goes through the type of obnoxious neighbor issues anyone in a condo already knows about. I chose this book because, while it certainly has the steamy scenes any reader hopes for, the character’s voice is absolutely hilarious. There are times you will find yourself short of breath from getting hot and bothered, but other times where you are short of breath from belly-rolling laughter.

If you are new to the modern romance scene, and are looking for something a bit less exotic than E.L. James, I think this is the book for you. It is touching, witty, and an all-around good story.

After you read it, I look forward to hearing what you think…and I hope that Clive becomes your favorite character, because he is definitely mine!
