Omg! I love Duke and Sam! Duke is a real blue collar guy. No perfect body. Sam is quirky. Love her imagination. The narrator on the audiobook made the giggling between them so perfect. What a great book!

This was SO MUCH BETTER than the two previous books in this series and I'm SO GLAD. Anything Tessa writes is an autobuy for me - I was starting to worry.
I wish these Brazen books were longer and there was more character development. As always, the dirty talk was incomparable and swoon worthy. I loved Duke!

3.5 rounded to 4 stars. So, this book was positively bananas. Mostly in a good way. Tessa Bailey really is no holds barred, and for that, I love her. But, not all of her bananas sexual possessiveness is for me, though, and this book went off the deepend with Duke talking in third person- ex. “Duke wants Samantha” (said while f*cling Samantha against a door).
So, this is a great book because it’s lots of fun. I loved the first third of this book, as we get to know the hero and his sisters. But the premise is a little out there and the possessiveness of the hero goes a bit too far for me to find it 100% enjoyable. This book is definitely someone’s 5-star read! Just not mine.

i love how tessa bailey is able to write similar characters in different books but give them just enough variation that they stand as their own separate person. MMC in this book is very much giving brendan from it happened one summer and beau from too beautiful to break. im talking a real big boy with commitment issues, but his struggles stood apart from the other men. i worried in the first little bit that the FMCs “jokes” were gonna be too cringey too handle, but i think our girl TB does a good job of spacing out the cringe and also making it a bit forgettable like she doesn’t try too hard for the COM in romcom she keeps it subtle unlike other authors *cough* all in all just a good read

Duke Crawford, a factory mechanic, shares his home with his three divorced sisters. He doesn't date, hell he really doesn't have time for women at all. He just wants to sit at home and enjoy SportsCenter in peace. You see Duke is a bit of a commitment phobe. That is until Samantha Waverly walks into Third Shift, and suddenly SportsCenter is overrated. Thing is, Sam is a bit of a commitment phobe herself. Can two people so against "forever" find it in each other?
“Are you on a five-way text with them?” “Yes. Biggest mistake of my life.” He pulled out onto the dark street, hitting the blinker and turning right. “It’s like the mafia, these group texts. Once you’re in, you’re in for life."
"He had four broken-hearted sisters living in his house, each with their own personal ex-husband voodoo doll."
GAAAAHHH....Where do I even start with this review. This was by FAR my ABSOLUTE favorite of the series. Sam ran circles around the heroines of the first two books. She was FUNNY and ENDEARING and not for even ONE second annoying. I'm straight up in love with Samantha.
"All I know is I overhead Luanne calling Old News’s songs ‘panty droppers’ in one of the most traumatic moments of my life.” He sauntered forward, boots thudding on the porch. “So I’m coming, sweetheart. Because your panties aren’t dropping unless I make them."
"Mother Mary. There were men. And then there was Duke Crawford. He wasn’t pretty or sculpted. Didn’t have the kind of physique that would land him on the pages of a calendar or on a “hot bodies” board on Pinterest. No no. Duke was husky and covered in hair. A bear among mere cubs"
Duke...Where do I even start. I loved Duke in all his dirty talking, hairy, goliath, glory. He was a PERFECT hero. He was sweet, but still held onto his "alpha-ness" He wasn't a man-whore in the least. He was a gentle giant with a heart of gold.
"Those are things you need to be sure about, sweetheart. My mouth finding yours for a kiss, no matter the audience. Chasing away men who think they’re worthy of your puns."
Watching these two fall in love was EPIC. By FAR and AWAY the best couple of the series so far. I laughed and cried. I wore a smile a mile wide. I was sad when it ended and I wanted more. My curiosity was also piqued by a certain pairing that I hope (Lord do I HOPE) will be coming our way soon. Two HUGE thumbs up for this one from yours truly...

Really entertaining book, and the dirty talk is just right.

This is the story of two people who get married the day after they meet for reasons that prove that between the two of them, they have the collective reasoning skills of a five year old. They then proceed to spend either one or two weeks apart, I've already forgotten which although I finished this earlier today, then come back together for a day and... wait for it... decide to renew their vows.
To recap: this couple, upon spending a total of about three days together, somehow managed to get married twice. But hey, when a marriage is built on sex and puns, what could possibly go wrong?
Oh, and the epilogue contains a sentence that says, unironically apparently, that they spent the first two weeks of living together "taking it slowly". Which seems to mean they waited that two weeks, during which, I will remind you, they were already twice-married, to say "I love you".
