Meet Lauren Halsted.
It's all the little things - the action plans, the long-kept promises - that started falling apart when my life slipped into controlled chaos. After I fell ass over elbow into Matthew Walsh's arms, I couldn't decide whether I wanted to run screaming or rip his pants off, and most days I wanted a little of both. If I was being honest with myself, it was rip his pants off, ride him like a workhorse, and then run screaming.
Meet Matthew Walsh.
A rebellious streak ran through Lauren Halsted. It was fierce and unrelentingly beautiful, and she wasn't letting anyone tell her what to do - unless, of course, she was naked. She wasn't looking for me, and I sure as shit wasn't looking for her, but we found each other anyway, and now we were locked in a battle of wills, waiting for the other to blink.
I’m fairly new to Kate Canterbary’s work, but I have thoroughly enjoyed everything I’ve read so far. I am surprised that Underneath it All fell so far short of my expectations.
The book has a ton of sex but very little plot, which makes the sex not only gratuitous but distracting as well. Another big problem is that I did not like the heroine. I could not understand why Lauren was so determined to push Matthew away. I have no idea what he saw in her.
I also think I would have liked this more had I read it instead of listening to the audiobook. The way Lucy Rivers voices the character of Matthew makes him sound like a sleazy creeper. It just didn’t work for me.
Hopefully, the next book in the series will be a winner.
About Kate Canterbary
Kate Canterbary doesn’t have it all figured out, but this is what she knows for sure: spicy-ass salsa and tequila solve most problems, living on the ocean–Pacific or Atlantic–is the closest place to perfection, and writing smart, smutty stories is a better than any amount of chocolate.
She started out reporting for an indie arts and entertainment newspaper back when people still read newspapers, and she has been writing and surreptitiously interviewing people—be careful sitting down next to her on an airplane—ever since.
Kate lives on the water in New England with Mr. Canterbary and the Little Baby Canterbary, and when she isn’t writing sexy architects, she’s scheduling her days around the region’s best food trucks.
Huh. Maybe the audio did have a bad affect on you because I loved this one when I read it.
I remember you saying you loved it. A lot of other people do too. Sometimes it’s better to read a book than listen to it.
