FINN for the WINN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dirty Rowdy Thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am going to try to write a spoiler-free review of Dirty Rowdy Thing. Stop laughing. I said I would try. No promises.

Dirty Rowdy Thing is Harlow and Finn’s story and oh what a story it is!!! I could spend forever prattling on and on about Finn (and I will)…BUT…before I do that, I have to take a moment and talk Harlow. I love Harlow. Methinks she should be my friend. That girl has sass and she’s not afraid to use it!

One of the many things I love about Christina Lauren is that they consistently write strong female leads that you do not want to punch in the face. We have all read the heroines we hate—whether they are virginal lip biters, whiney pains in our asses or just downright not likeable. Like at all. You know the ones I’m talking about. The stories we will read because we really like the guy but in the back of our minds all we can think is: “What the hell is wrong with him? What is he doing with her???” You know the heroines I’m talking about. The ones who are served with an eye roll and a side of Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. But here’s the thing! C and Lo have never given me a heroine who I want to consistently punch in the face or kick in the shin. From Chloe to Harlow, I have loved the strength and the spunk C and Lo consistently give these girls! So…if you like strong female leads you love to love, Harlow is your girl!

I love Harlow and Finn together on so many levels. Harlow has got to be pretty spectacular if I’m not screaming, “Finn! Pick me! Choose me! Love me!!!!” Although…if Harlow were to accidentally fall off Finn’s boat and drown in the Pacific, I’m here for you, Finn!!!! Totally kidding…and anyway, Harlow is a kickass swimmer. Everything is fine: Finn and Harlow Forever!!!! So Finn…

We know that Dirty Rowdy Thing is book 2 of the Wild Seasons series.  We briefly met Finn in Sweet Filthy Boy but didn’t really get to know him because we had our unbelievably adorable Ansel keeping our hearts a flutter. But while Ansel brought the sweetness (along with the filth…don’t forget the filth!), Finn is on a completely different level. Finn is my dream. Write it down. Of all of C and Lo’s men, Finn is at the top of my list! Shhhhhh! Don’t tell Will…or Max…or Bennett…or Ansel…Aghhhhhh!!! This is getting complicated. But I am telling you. Finn is THAT good.

Finn has this strength. Not just physical brute strength but this inner strength as well. He is so together that he puts all other men to shame. He has a beautiful soul that you can see through his eyes. His eyes often may be hidden under that baseball cap but when you look into his eyes—you can see it. You can see what Harlow sees and you can see why he is the one for me. I mean, you can see why he’s the one for Harlow. I think that Finn may also be the dirtiest of all C and Lo’s men. Maybe. And you thought Bennett did things with panties (insert wink). And oh, what Finn can do with a rope. Who knew I’d like to take up fishing??? :)

Okay…so as spoiler free as I can get, I can tell you a couple things: You will LOVE Finn. You will LOVE Harlow. You will LOVE the two of them together. You will never look at Canadian men the same way again. AND! Once you read Dirty Rowdy Thing, you will want to read it again and again—not just for the story (which will knock your socks off!) but to re-live the beauty C and Lo paint for you in this book. From Finn’s eyes to the sunrises to the sunsets to the pool at Harlow’s parent’s house, C and Lo paint such vivid pictures that you feel like you are there. C and Lo give good mental visuals…and not in that way, pervs! Well…that way too, but that’s not what I’m talking about at this particular moment.

Oh! One more thing! Once you finish Dirty Rowdy Thing and you are basking in the glow of loving all things Harlow and Finn…there’s going to be something niggling at you in the back of your mind. In the back of your head you will be thinking: Is it time for Dark Wild Night yet because I HAVE to know what happens with Oliver and Lola! I mean…I. NEED. TO. KNOW!!!!

So there ya go…pretty spoiler-free, right? All you really need to know is: BUY. THIS. BOOK!!!! You won’t regret it! Promise!!! To one-click any and ALL Christina Lauren books, go here: http://christinalaurenbooks.com/books/?c=adult !!!!! Fall in love with Finn and let’s talk, eh? :)

Dirty Rowdy Thing!!!!

Finnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don’t even know where to begin when talking Dirty Rowdy Thing so I think Finnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! is a perfect place to start. Holy hot Canadian. I love Finn. A lot. But before I start professing my love for Finn and Harlow, I have to take a moment to talk about the authors who gave us this book. C (Christina) and Lo (Lauren).

The stars must have been aligned just perfectly when the universe put C and Lo together. They are pure magic. Magic, I say! And here’s why: There are several authors I adore. There are plenty of books I love. We all know this. But never! NEVER has an author wowed me every single time in a ‘I can’t believe they did it again!’ kind of way. There’s always a bit of, “x was good, but I liked y better.” C and Lo weren’t immune to my special kind of crazy in the beginning either.

Here’s a little of how my crazy went: WHY are they not writing about Bennett again? How could they do this to me? I’m not going to like this Max character!...Max!!!! Oooooooooooooooooomg! I love Max! Where has he been all by life! Bennett is great but Max! Whoa. I’m trading my panty ripper for this British exhibitionist…Ughhhhhhhh….they are doing it again. Whyyyyyyy???? WHY are they not writing about Max again? How could they do this to me? I’m not going to like this Will character!...Will!!!! Dr. William Sumner is my FAVORITE Beautiful  boy! How did that happen? Hmmm…some kind of C and Lo trickery! But then C and Lo gave us Bennett, Max, and Will together in Beautiful Beginning!!!!  I swear that the van ride with the three of them in Beautiful Beginning is one of my favorite scenes in the history of any book ever written. Ever. Brilliant!!!!

So then, as you can imagine, my crazy started all over again when I learned that my Beautiful  boys were being traded in for the Wild Seasons series…until I met Ansel in Sweet Filthy Boy…ooooooh la-la! Ansel!...but get this: Ansel has nothing on Finn! Finnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!! See what happened here? They did it. Again! Just when I thought I couldn’t love a book and a character more than the last, C and Lo did it again! How?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? I should probably spend less time wondering how and more time just saying THANK YOU! Thank you C and Lo for making me fall in love over and over again.

I am convinced that C and Lo are indeed magical writing unicorns! I mean, what other explanation could there be? Dirty Rowdy Thing releases tomorrow and I need each and every one of you to listen carefully. Are you listening? BUY. THIS. BOOK!!!!! If you haven’t read every book ever written by Christina Lauren, do it now. You won’t regret it. I promise. I’ll even make it easy for you! Go here: http://christinalaurenbooks.com/books/?c=adult to order each and every book. You’re welcome:)

Full review of Dirty Rowdy Thing coming tomorrow but in the event that you haven’t preordered the goodness that is Finn yet, do it now!!!! What better way than to wake up than with this piece of magic in your Kindle??? One more sleep until Dirty Rowdy Thing will have you swooning too! Love, love, love Finnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
