Badd Motherf*cker by Jasinda WilderMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Synopsis (written by me): Our heroine Dru is ditched at the altar in a shocking fashion, so what does she do? Get drunk and end up in the middle of who-knows-where in her wedding dress. Luckily, a handsome bartender named Sebastian comes to her rescue.
My only other experience with Jasinda Wilder's work was trying to read the first book from her Big Girls Do It series. I've enjoyed my share of what other readers affectionately call "smut", but that book didn't hold my interest. I'm not sure why I decided to pick up another Wilder book -- probably because my library keeps recommending her.
Anyway, this book is slightly better than the first Wilder I read. I would have just given it two stars based on the main relationship which smacked of insta-love. However, it was the B-plot that paves the way for the rest of the series and the well-developed characters that earned the book a third star and pushed me to check out the second book in the series. While I may not be a fan of insta-love, I am willing to suspend my disbelief when reading about characters who are impossibly good-looking and competent at their jobs to the point of being nearly supernatural. The Badd brothers definitely fit that description.
In case you missed the word "smut" in the first paragraph, let me spell it out for you: the sex is front-and-center in this book. There is no open or closed door because half the time the hero and heroine don't even make it to the bedroom. You should definitely save the recommendation of this book for your adventurous auntie, the one who shows up with a different boyfriend at every family function :-).
