Charismatic and witty as heck! This book had me laughing out loud at my iPad more than once. That makes for some pretty awkward, embarrassing moments when you’re reading in public, but this book was so worth it! (And let’s be honest, I’m not the only one whose done this before.. Am I ladies?). This is actually the second book in the Explosive series, but I have not read the first. I read this book as a part of the ‘Alpha’s on Top’ book, which includes six novels from six different authors. That being said, if book one is half as entertaining as this one – I’m certain ill be reading that too, as well as the rest of this series. No book left unread, right? Right.“He’s sweet, he’s an ass, he’s warm, he’s cold. He flirts, he scowls, he drives me absolutely crazy, but dammit if my heart doesn’t melt when he smiles”Knox Wellington is an ass. A moody, brooding, stubborn, hot as sin ass... at least he’s that way pre-Charlie (well, the hot as sin part doesn’t change). A wounded soldier with a hardened heart, he isn’t looking to give a s*** about anyone other than his best friend, Jace and his little brother, Cohen.. But boy oh boy, lucky for us Mr. Rugged has a change of heart when he meets his girl. I’m talkin’ dinner makin’, guitar playin’ and maybe, just maybe there’s a little ‘Country boy shake it for me’ goin’ on.. Y’all gotta read this book if you want to enjoy that moment… I am so not spoiling that. Knox is absolutely swoon-worthy. If all that isn’t reason enough to add him to your book boyfriend roster, try this one on for size… He drives a 1967 Ford Mustang named Evelyn… Can you remember what movie showcases a car like that? Oh don’t you sweat it Ladies… Tessa will remind you.“We’ve been over this. He promised me that he trusted me, but apparently he doesn’t. So I don’t get sad. I don’t get disappointed. I don’t start weeping or begging for his forgiveness. No, I get pissed. Really [f***ing] pissed. And right now, all I see is freaking red”Okay, I’ll say it… I have a major girl crush on Charlotte – ‘Charlie’ - Rose Davenport. This ball busting, army brat had me from the get go – she takes no s*** and kicks ass (literally). She is the kind of heroine that we all love, and crave. She knows what she wants and refuses to settle for anything less. This brunette firecracker can go toe-to-toe with those big bad army men, and she sure as s*** isn’t afraid to prove it. I cannot say it enough, I bloody loved her. Can we talk about her dad for a minute too? Lord, did I ever love Wade Davenport. No, no you creeps, I know what you’re thinking … Not in a D.I.L.F kind of way… In a ‘he-loves-his-daughter’ and is totally adorable kind of way. I’m just sayin’.. I loved that she was a Daddy’s girl and their relationship was a nice touch to the book.I honestly can’t decide who I like better in this book, Knox or Charlie... Their chemistry is off the charts and with them constantly butting heads, it makes for some frickin’ hilarious witty banter. Let it be known that I gave y’all fair warning, I was not kidding about the laughing out loud part.Don’t think just because it’s funny, that this book doesn’t hold its own in the naughty department. All that witty banter is basically foreplay… and the result; let’s just say it ain’t boring ladies.Grab a glass of wine and climb into the bathtub with Knox (Oh ya, that happens). Do that, and I can guarantee you he’ll leave you wanting more.Xo.AJ
