Review: Nocturne: Funny!
Rating: 3 out of 5

Okay, to be clear…I did not know this was something called a “romcom”.  I hadn’t encountered that genre before, or perhaps I never looked for one.  A romcom, or romantic comedy, in book form is an over the top, ridiculous view on romance and a means of poking fun (in my mind, making fun) of romances.  I love my romance, I love love and I most definitely love falling in love (over and over again in one book gives that book a 5 Hoots!).  I will not read another romcom, so to be clear, I read this at face value and was disappointed.  Only after talking with some goodreads friends did I see the merit of this book as a romcom genre type book.Beatriz (her name drove me nuts too…who can moan Beatrizzzz during sex???) was a take no prisoners, ballsy, hard-core gal.  She worked on the side as a sex blogger and found many men couldn’t handle the pressure.  The talking is what would drive me mad…who wants that much “thinking talking” during their smexy times???  Not me.  Maybe that was the romcom part.  Ben, on the other hand, was smart, funny, driven and romantic.  Ben has been in love with Beatriz since he met her, but with his future and his best friend’s future at stake, he resisted her and moved on with his life.  I really loved when Ben admitted that his relationships never worked out because he compared all other women to Bea.As the wedding festivities progress, there is a whole lotta hanky panky, several chapter of the Karma Sutra for X-gener’s reviewed, and one huge misunderstanding.  Sounds like a wedding someone in my family would have!  If you like Tiffany Reisz and/or Romantic Comedy books…this one is well written and funny.  Enjoy!
