A Little Bit Country
(May)Book of the Month
"How to Make A Little Bit Country Pie"
- 1/2 metric ton of sugar
- 1 very forgiving guy who is the Country to His 'Rock & Roll'. He also wears a cowboy heat pretty much EVERY WHERE that I'm surprised he did not wear it while having sex.
- 1 rocker big mouth diva who wanted to be the pretty princess in all the land and never got to wear the crown. And tantrum it out for the first half of the half of the book and then stole the attention for the second half. He fucks decent though. I give him that.
Also, I pictured Ash to be a mantrum having/ attention seeking version of:
- 1 shady queen aka jealous country music star that can talk a whole lot of shit behind closed doors but is too chicken shit when it comes to saying it to your face. Ugh, the shade of it all!
- 1 gang of ever positive sidekicks that are always friends, always positive, always have your back, always travel to remote locations to find you to have your back and defend you against the world. Their life revolves around your being coupled. They revolved around you before being boyfriends too aka they have no life other than to please you. And will move to wherever you move to keep the positive/have your back/sidekick ring alive.
- 2 1/2 bottles of country cliches
- 5 Mantrums from not listening to your crush's full sentences and/or not stopping to FUCKING THINK BEFORE YOU HAVE A FIT.
- 1 parallelogram full of fluff (Size may vary)
- 2500 Gasoline Tankers filled with liquid sugar
- 1/4 bucketful of my eyes rolling
- Add near equal parts of decent writing in between the rough patches
- 2 drops of hot sauce (The sex was good but nothing I'm going to remember after the next 2 books I read. Hell, maybe after the next one. *shrugs*)
- 1 Countrified Cotton Candy HEA where NOTHING GOES WRONG. I'm sure even the cow dung in the barn is smelling like roses.(Gag me with a Spoon, please.)
- 1 pie crust
- 1 powdered sugar doughnut (For color)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease pie pan evenly. Sprinkle granulated sugar before adding pie crust to pan.
In a bowl large enough, mix the ingredients together for 2 minutes. Mixture should not be smooth, expect lumps.
Pour mixture into pan. Sprinkle with brown sugar heavily.
Bake for 2 hours or until golden brown.
Cool for 15 minutes. If the fumes don't give a diabetic coma for 15 generations, garnish with buttercream until the pie does so.
This book is not bad, it might work more for fans of sugar or a read after something that was dark/angst-ridden/put you in a bad place. Maybe I'd have rated higher if my last read had done so.
Maybe not. We'll never know. *shrugs* I'll round up to 3 Stars. I do like this author's paranormal work. She's written one of my favorite vampire MM stories. I'll try another of the contemporary. If it's fluff, I'll just stick with the vamps.
So now I'm going to continue singing "Just a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down..." since it's been stuck on replay in my head after finishing this book.
