Review: Full Package by Lauren Blakely
TITLE: Full Package AUTHOR:Lauren Blakely GENRE: Romantic Comedy
RELEASE DATE: January 9th, 2017
From the New York Times Bestselling author of MISTER O and BIG ROCK, comes a hot & hilarious new standalone romantic comedy... I've been told I have quite a gift. Hey, I don't just mean in my pants. I've got a big brain too, and a huge heart of gold. And I like to use all my gifts to the fullest, the package included. Life is smooth sailing.... Until I find myself stuck between a rock and a sexy roommate, which makes for one very hard...place. Because scoring an apartment in this city is harder than finding true love. So even if I have to shack up with my buddy's smoking hot and incredibly amazing little sister, a man's got to do what a man's got to do. I can resist Josie. I'm disciplined, I'm focused, and I keep my hands to myself, even in the mere five-hundred square feet we share. Until the one night she insists on sliding under the covers with me. It'll help her sleep after what happened that day, she says. Spoiler-neither one of us sleeps. Did I mention she's also one of my best friends? That she's brilliant, beautiful and a total firecracker? Guess that makes her the full package too. What's a man stuck in a hard place to do?
Full Package was a really pleasant read! The story has a whole lot of sweet, funny and steamy! It was nice for a change to read a book without any real drama happening. It’s only the simple story of friends giving a go to their undeniable attraction after years and trying to fight their growing feelings for each other.
"I've got a textbook condition of classic illness. I'm suffering from a motherfucking case of falling in love. And I'm not ready to take a pill to cure it."
Lauren Blakely greatly portrayed the deepness of Josie and Chase’s relationship with the easiness of every interaction they have together. Really this couple have a great relationship and taking it to the next level doesn’t really affect their dynamic. They have the same tastes and their personalities complete each other very well. It was truly entertaining reading the funny banters they shared.
The book being written in the male’s POV was also another interesting feature that made me love it even more. There’s a lot I loved about this book and the sexy parts are one of them. Let’s just say that these two can burn a house with the fire they create when they’re together.
"And the fire goes wild. It torches my blood.
It fucking consumes me. I'm not sure I'll ever cool off."
It was my first read from these interconnected standalones and now I need to read the other ones! These secondary characters were interesting and I now want to discover their own stories!
