Bass-Ackwards by Eris Adderly

5.0

Okay, I was skeptical, given the premise, but it drew me in all the same. I make a habit of downloading free samples to see if a book hooks me past a chapter or two, and yeah, this one did the trick! Maybe I just wanted to find out if A$$hole Bill was as A$$holish as he was made out to be at the beginning. Little things like his softness for stray dogs and need to "take care of" the heroine after a fall were a nice contrast from his prickly side. Plus, all the sex was admittedly pretty hot! Had to read this on the sly at work, so thank goodness for Kindle. Anyway, despite my initial wariness, I ended up tearing through this book in a matter of hours, so if you're in the mood for something steamy and more than a little messed up -- but ultimately satisfying -- give it a read!
