This was my first book by this author and although I enjoyed it greatly, I think it could have ended 100 pages sooner. I mean a great and funny story had been told, the characters and interactions were hilarious, it just seemed to go on for much longer than it needed to. Other than that, it was a fun and enjoyable read.

F*cking Frank by Jen Luerssen
4 Stars!!!!
I really like finding new authors. This was such a refreshing read for me. I like to read various
genres and I really liked how the author winds the story around the characters. It's quite nice to have a unique character base.
I really like how the author made the character realistic as sometimes in books they just are too
fake. Frank is so realatable. There is so much to be said for asterisk. The author really had me hooked on this book and I was glad to have a break from my normal steamy romances. This book really was a breath of fresh air for me. It wasn't superficial it was a really great down to earth read and I will be reading it over and over.

F*cking Frank (Smirk Series Book 1)
By Jen Luerssen
5 stars
Brilliant story! I loved that the book was told from Frank’s POV it made it really different to read. There were some great moments in this story and the two main characters Frank and Mikey definitely made it for me. I loved how I was crying with laughter one minute and then crying with emotion the next. The author kept me engaged the whole way through and I never wanted it to end.
When I first read the blurb I already had an idea in my mind what Frank would be like but I think because of how the author decided to write this story I really understood him more. I loved the banter between the two of them and there was definitely a lot of sexual chemistry and tension between them!
This is the second book that I have read by this author that I have loved and I cannot wait to read more from her again in the future.
I highly recommend F*cking Frank – it is a fantastic read with brilliant characters and plenty of laugh out loud moments!

This book is so enjoyable. I loved it! I picked this up because with that title how could it not be a wickedly good read. Turns out Frank has not much of a filter. He is brash and basically says what he thinks regardless of who it’s too. Male, female, boss or friend...he holds nothing back. He is known for being a grump and never smiling or laughing plus he has no boundaries. So when he meets his doppelgänger but as a woman. Well his life is about to change.
I love the secondary characters especially Joe. His best friend. He teases him mercilessly....and I even laughed and made the “OH” face a few times with the things he said. He also is there when he needs him and gives him good advice. Lia is another who comes up with the whackiest things to irritate her bestie, Frankenburger or Frank and Beans or any other name she can think of. As well as her Swear Words! OMG! I love it! Such a great idea to make her memorable! When all the friends get together it’s funny but when they try “roast”Frank in front of his girl....hilarious!
This is a good solid book that even had me worrying about Frank a few times. It’s actually a fun read and the time sped by fairly quickly. I enjoy how Frank is telling the story but at times also talking to the reader. The characters were all Whack-a-Doodles but that’s what made me like them. Each is quirky in their own way. This is the first in the series and I can’t help but wonder about Joe....is he next???

This is my first book by this author, I enjoyed it from beginning to the end. This story took me on on a roller coaster of emotions from laughter to feeling compassion. I enjoyed the way this story is told in the pov of Frank and how he told it. I love the characters and their chemistry in this book. They are strong, creative, sassy and of course I can’t forget the steamy parts! The plot was fun and easy flowing, I read this in one sitting. I highly recommend reading this book!

This was my first read by Jen Luerssen, so I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect when I began. I didn’t know if I would enjoy the story because I don’t normally enjoy over-the-top and very direct humour that the blurb alluded to. But as I was looking for something a little different from what I had been reading of late, a palate cleanse of sorts, so I took the chance and wandered in.
What I found was everything I had expected it to be- a somewhat bawdy romantic comedy with a very cheeky overtone- lots of swearing, flirting, innuendos, sarcasm, and teasing…. but, surprisingly, it also had a deeper and more emotive storyline than I had expected, which balanced out the comedy- and I have to say I enjoyed the book much more than I had expected to.
The story is told almost entirely from Frank’s POV, even addressing the reader directly at times- which took me a little while to get used to. All the characters are quite zany, fully developed individuals with their own quirks, flaws, and personalities. Each one contributed to the storyline, and help set the tone and mood. I particularly liked Joe and Lia.
So, If you like outrageous romantic comedies with strong, quirky characters, and want to know what happens when a grumpy musician meets a smart, independent winemaker- then this is definitely the story for you!
Thank you, Ms. Luerssen!

F*cking Frank (Smirk Series Book 1) by Jen Luerssen
4 Stars
This is my first read by this author and I sincerely enjoyed it, there were many parts that made me smile and there were some that had me wondering what would happen and how these two people could make anything work.
It was a unique story and I liked how it was all in Frank's point of view, that was different and I enjoyed that and I did kind of like the times it felt like he was talking directly to me.
The secondary characters were a lot of fun and the interaction between them all made me laugh. I think Frank's best friend Joe was my favorite of the whole book and I hope he will get his own story.
I did enjoy the story although at times it felt predictable it was still a fun read and I would definitely recommend it.

F*cking Frank (Smirk Series Book 1) by Jen Luerssen is a romantic comedy and it is one of
the most funniest stories I have read. Jen hit the mark when she wrote this book, it is told in
a male point of view and her dialogue and humour was spot on. I found myself laughing out
loud and getting funny looks when I did so, but I didn’t care because I was so engrossed in
the lives of these wacky characters. It was also sexy and steamy and there were some
tender moments that made you go ah. The story feels so realistic as we follow these crazy
friends, who are family, through their lives, with all their quirks and sexy smexy innuendos,
teasing and mateship, love and flaws, hope and wonder.
I seriously look forward to reading more of these characters in this series, as one book is not
enough. Good job Jen!

This was my first read by This author, and I will be reading more from her. The story was easy to read but i did feel some was just drawn out that didn't add to the story other than character interactions.
I did like the characters and they were unique i their own ways and I did find this an easy but also funny read it did have some seriousness along the way.
While i didn't absolutely love this story, doesnt mean others won't.

F*cking Frank is a hilarious and addictive tale about two people who are almost the same and is book one in the Smirk series by Jen Luerssen.
Frank meets Mikey and it is like they are cut from the same cloth.The likeness between the two is uncanny and makes for seriously unputdownable reading. It was captivating, so ridiculously funny, which had me hoping I could read extra slow, just to savour the moments with these two. I was borderline needing therapy after this, as I laughed like I was crazy and loved like I never would again. It was so entertaining that I cannot get into another book right now.
As this is my first time reading Jen Luerssen’s work, I was stunned at how immersed I became in it. It was instant. Reading F*cking Frank was an unforgettable experience and I desperately await the next book in the Smirk series. 5 stars.
