The worst of this series by far. I don’t like either of the characters, especially the MMC because he is a walking red flag and a complete dick. The only reason to read this book is to find out what happens with the four from the other two books.

Childhood bully

Erin has always presented herself as a good and private woman, but when her house gets burglarized while she is taking care of herself in the shower everything goes up in flames, she calls 911 and who no other than her childhood bully is the cop attending the scene and him being an asshole makes a point to let Erin know how he saw the toys in her shower.
Erin despises Charlie but there's something about him that makes want to show him she is just not just a goody two shoes. Later they end up having coffee and then a beer and then shit gets out of control(or in control?). Charlie does things to Erin she always wanted but Charlie is emotionally unavailable and you know those ones are always keeping secrets.

The MMC in this series have left a lot to be desired in my opinion and Charlie fit the bill. He was described as a childhood bully but it seemed like he continued to bully her, he certainly treated her poorly - he was constantly insulting her and making fun of her. I also didn't like the way he hid the fact that he had a daughter. He may have turned out more relatable if we'd gotten some of the story from his perspective. I thought the whole book was just pushing the "good girl/bad boy" with kinky fantasies trope so hard that there wasn't a lot of true plot or character development. 

Overall I found this book, and the whole series, to be disappointing. I definitely won't be coming back to it or recommending it to anyone.

Can a character be so much of an a**hole that he’s irredeemable? If yes, Charlie is that a**hole.
This guy was terrible and horrible as only Melanie Harlow can write.
No thanks. I could have done without the second epilogue from Mia’s POV as it had details and plot errors that drove me crazy.
Anyway if you are ok with terrible a**holes getting the girl, this is a decent book. I just couldn’t get over how awful he was. Personal preference and low tolerance for jerks I guess.

Review originally posted at Ramblings From This Chick

Floored is the third and final book in the Frenched Series by Melanie Harlow. I absolutely love this series and while I am not ready to leave these characters behind, I couldn't wait to read this book! If you haven't read the previous books in this series, you can still read Floored. But I would highly recommend starting at the beginning. Melanie Harlow has never disappointed me, and this book had everything that I have come to know and love with her writing.

When Erin Upton's townhouse gets robbed, she is too embarrassed to tell the cops exactly what she was doing when it happened. Especially since the hot cop that shows up is none other that Charlie Dwyer, the boy that once terrorized her when she was younger. Charlie is just as cocky as he always was, but when they continue to run into each other she can't help the attraction between them. When he offers to help her one night with some work on her dance studio, things quickly change between them and they finally give in to the passion between them. They both agree it is a one time thing, as Charlie doesn't date and Erin has no time to deal with Charlie and his arrogance. But soon they find themselves unable to stay away from each other, and their one time turns into several. Can they turn whatever it is they are doing into more?

Charlie and Erin were super hot together, and I loved watching these two circle each other. They were so drawn to each other, and it was clear right from the start. The banter between them and witty conversations they had were fantastic. They were so well matched and I found it hilarious how they interacted with one another. They were almost complete opposites, and yet they fit together so perfectly in every way that mattered. They challenged one another and it was nice to see each of them out of their comfort zones when it came to the other. Charlie was super hot, and I loved that he was so alpha and commanding in the bedroom. But I really enjoyed seeing the softer side to him when he let it out. He had so much beneath the surface, and I liked seeing Erin bring it out in him. Erin was smart and independent, and I liked that she didn't let Charlie walk all over her. She might have been a bit shy at first, but she really came into her own and wasn't afraid to explore her desires with Charlie's help.

Overall, this was a great story and a wonderful end to this series. I really loved Charlie and Erin. Floored was laugh out loud funny while also being sweet and sexy. Melanie Harlow does a great job of writing fun and unique characters that you can't help but fall in love with, and Charlie and Erin were no exception. It was great to get more of the others from the series as well, and I felt like Melanie did a great job of wrapping things up and letting us know how things turned out for everyone. While I will miss this series and the characters, I know that I will go back and read these books over and over again. I am excited to see what else Melanie Harlow writes in the future, and I look forward to whatever she does next. If you haven't checked out this series yet, you are seriously missing out!

This is the second book by Melanie that I've read. I absolutely loved it. it's funny, sweet, sexy, and a few ups and downs as every good story needs. This book can be read as a standalone. I didn't read the first two but probably will later.

This book was unexpectedly funny, and it immediately became my favorite book from Melanie. Erin is hillarious, the writing is hillarious and the MCs' relationship is just awesome. This combo of fun, romance and sexy time is what makes a book page turner and must read.
You will have such a good time while reading this book, Trust me!!
Confession: This couple is the hottest so far!!
