A KEEPER SHELF ADDITION
Sex in the Sticks is the second book I've read by Sawyer Bennett and both blew me out of the water. I absolutely can not say enough about how much I loved this book. It's the first book in her new Love Hurts series and is set to be published May 2, 2017. I'm currently in the process of purchasing a few of her other novels to bide my time until another of her new releases comes out, she is that good.

Valentine French is a Trust Fund baby, New York City socialite who writes a popular dating advice blog. However, the metro sexual men are no longer doing it for her and her best friend and cousin, Jeremy suggests she go to Alaska where he went on a fishing trip to a bed and breakfast to gain new inspiration from the hunky men who out number the women 5 to 1. So off she goes, with her little white fluffy dog Sassy, four cases of Louis Vuitton full of designer clothes and her laptop.

Unfortunately upon arrival, Val soon learns that there is a shortage of taxi's or car service to take her and her luggage into the sticks, but luckily the sexy Chief of Police of East Merritt, Alaska, Logan Burke is in town picking up supplies and offers her a ride back with him. Val is all too happy to accept because if the rest of the men in East Merritt are even half as hunky as Logan then she'll have enough dating material to blog about for years to come.

The chemistry between Logan and Valentine is off the charts from the beginning and their witty repartee will keep you on the edge of your seat. I enjoyed this book so much, I had to slow down and try not to read it too fast because I didn't want it to end, but unfortunately I finished it in just a few hours. Loads of sex, fun times, giggles and tears...all so perfectly wonderful. Thanks to Netgalley and Loveswept by Random House Publishing for the ARC in exchange for a honest review.

Fun summer read. Or spring. Or even late winter. Big city girl does to Alaska to meet a real man, finds real man, and learns to live like a real woman. It's a plot that is done over and over, but it works well here. The characters are charming,

Sex in the Sticks is the funny and sexy first romance in the Love Hurts series written by author Sawyer Bennett. Thanks to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group-Loveswept for the advance copy. Fantastic story.

3-1/2 Stars - Only Sawyer Bennett could make a remote little town in Alaska feel like the most warm and inviting place to be. Valentine and Logan are adorable together in this big city girl meets the backwoods sticks of Alaska. Their initial interactions and slow burn chemistry was well written and grabbed my attention right away. A slew of side characters are brought into this mix on this one but only add to the fun and don't take anything away from our hero and heroine. As always Sawyer Bennett delivers with some smoking hot love scenes that will certainly make you fan yourself. The drawback that I had on this one was that there just didn't seem to be enough plot going on other than Valentine adjusting to her knew surroundings and her relationship with Logan. There were snippets where she had run ins with other characters and some drama ensued but it just kind of fizzled away and I think that there could have been more there. The end conflict was a little weak and was wrapped up a bit fast and easy for my liking. Overall this was still a fun, sexy and entertaining read just not as fantastic as so many of Bennett's other books (of which I have read them all) as it just seemed to be missing a few of her magic elements!

Well, it's the first time in a long time that I've pulled an all nighter, I started this book and I couldn't stop. One of my favourite authors releases a new book, the start of a series no less, and it was so so addictive. It was fun and sexy in dual POV, the writing was perfect and I could not put it down.
When super rich Valentine French decides she needs inspiration for both her blog and her dating life, her cousin suggests a change in scenery. Val is sick of New York and all the metrosexual men who are too involved in themselves to ever be interested in putting anyone else first. So when her cousin booked her getaway and it wasn't Paris or Milan, but a small town in the back of beyond in Alaska (there's not even a taxi service), she is not overly impressed. What this town does have in abundance however, is men, in fact there are 15 men to every 1 woman, meaning that she can get more ammunition for her dating blog. What she wasn't expecting however, is Logan Burke, the Hot has hell, sexy and gentlemanly, alpha Chief of Police. All of a sudden things start to get complicated in the funniest of ways. I loved the characters, Logan is the perfect book boyfriend, and Val is the perfect challenge. I can't wait for the next book in the series. I was provided with an advance copy of this book via the author from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Can this author write a character I don't love? Think not! Logan was a "huge" hit for me, I loved him and his Alaskan alpha male ways. Valentine...I enjoyed parts of her personality and liked her most in the last few chapters but her and Logan together was great. In Sawyer Bennett's true fashion you'll laugh, you'll lust and you'll love this world she's created.
