This book was lots of fun and, in my opinion, is far superior to many widely-read members of the same genre.  I have recommended it enthusiastically to several friends.

I loved this book. I wasn't sure if I was going to, because when I first heard about it, it didn't really seem like my thing. But I'm so glad I read it, because I loved it. It was hilarious, sassy, and just so much fun.

Harper is totally my kind of girl. Which isn't exactly true, because we wouldn't exactly run in the same circles in real-life. In fact, without getting to know each other, we would probably hate each other. But, Harper sarcasm and sense of humor was so much like my own, I was able to connect with her in a way I usually don't with female MC's.

I also have a weakness for romances thy start where the two actually hate each other. I don't know what it is, but those are actually my favorite (if done well). David was nerdy cute, which is my favorite type of guy (he won me over at Doctor Who tshirt), and although a bit obnoxious, still loveable. Harper and David always at each others' throats was hilarious and just fun to read about.

I wouldn't say this had non-stop action, but the action parts were well done. This concept of Paladins was different, and I think Hawkins did a very good job executing them. This isn't usually what I read, but I loved it.

I found this book funny and delightful.  The voice is entertaining, sucking you in, and I didn't find any parts too dry or dragging.

I loved the plot.  It went from wild to wild, with non-stop action.  I found it incredible that she suddenly became a bodyguard.  This is definitely the type of book I would have loved as a teenager.  Now as an adult, I still loved it.

If you're looking for a fun young adult book, check out this start to what is sure to be a lively series.

This was a fun book and I highly recommend it.  I fully agree with C Moore's review, so go read that review if want more than a my mere recommendation.  (that C. Moore guy should write or something)

This book is a lot of fun, especially if you (like me) enjoyed the characters of Episode 1 and felt like you didn't get to know them as well as you would like.

This was a fun read and I really enjoyed the humor throughout. It had a lot of great, laugh-out-loud moments, like this one:
Oh. He frowns and comes inside for a better view. What were you doing to break your bed?

Its so hard to keep a straight face. I was jumping on it.

You were jumping on your bed? Crosbie coughs into the crook of his elbow, trying to mask his laughter. Yes.

Im surprised, Nora. That doesnt seem like you.

I thought it sounded fun.

And though it was only really true for part of the story, I enjoyed how "Undecided" was such a well-woven theme: Her major, the guys, her wild side vs her "boring" side... The cover was well-designed as well.

It's a common trope and I'm not big on Alpha Male types, but Crosbie was still obviously a sweetheart. He was always so careful to be sure that he wasn't making Nora uncomfortable, which I really liked. Crosbie's insecurity and the way it was told was fantastic. It rounded his character out nicely. This was probably one of my favorite little moments: Nora realized he was being sweet to her.

"And thats when it finally dawns on me: Crosbie didn't come here looking for Kellan. As though he knows Im piecing this together, I see Crosbies ears turn red and he jogs down the stairs."

Nora was also a great character that I think most women would be able to relate to, especially those who aren't especially outgoing and struggle with figuring out who exactly they are.

Kellan was an interesting character and I liked him more than I thought I would. For a "man-whore" frat boy, he wasn't stereotypical. He could cook, clean, was considerate, and seemed very genuine... Considering this, it made sense that girls were charmed by him, but the blow job blonde was a little less believable.

The only real criticism I have of this, is that I'm not sure the Nate/Red Corset reveal makes sense. Nate doesn't seem like the guy to actually remember that type of detail and is even oblivious to the mayhem he creates. Surely Nora wore a variety of scandalous outfits and that one in particular wouldn't have stood out, photo or no photo?

Overall, this was a wonderful read that I would recommend to anyone who enjoys the younger side of the "New Adult"/Romance genre (the characters all being 21) and likes their heroines feisty and their love interests "deeper than they appear." :)

It would be an understatement to say that I loved this book.  As I reviewed the book to an acquaintance of mine recently, I almost laughed out loud, since it seemed that there were these similar, yet disparate elements in the book.  There were almost too many sub-plots that seemed distracting to the story, when described to someone else, but they were adroitly enmeshed by Mr. McDougal.

The story is equal parts inspiration and exhilaration, and is a terrifically easy book to read.  There are plenty of other reviews that recount the plot, so I won't go into that here.  Just get the book, or Kindle-book, and hunker down for a phenomenal adventure that you will surely enjoy.

I didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I have, but it was so much fun to read!

On the one hand it's not my favorite book, but on the other hand, I loved it. The characters are quirky and fun, the story moves along to a wonderful ending, and all in all, it left me feeling very good.

I really liked this, and I loved the characters. Esther is my favorite. Susan is a bit annoying. I'm not sure what the plot actually was though. Also, I wanted a bit more from it. It was very funny and I can't wait to read Volume 2.

I just finished this book, it was entertaining.

I really enjoyed this book, particularly the early chapters. Katie Coyle writes with passion and wit and, especially in the early chapters, some pleasantly  wacky humor. Vivian Apple is a solid and likable character, learning and growing through the story; I very much enjoyed reliving some of the big feelings of adolescence with her. Katie Coyle does a fine job showing us Vivian's innermost self: her very good intentions and her very human minor failings. The other characters are colorful, with a wide range of emotions, and the plot is pleasantly preposterous, all adding to the fun.

As the story progresses, the humor recedes, which I found less compelling, though perhaps the younger target audience would experience this differently. I was less impressed with the ending than some readers; wish some loose ends had been tied up. Some parents may take issue with some rather strong language and allusions to some risky teenage behavior that are mentioned in the book, and of course, the main subject matter may be off putting to some people.

Still, apart from all of that, this book engaging and entertaining, sometimes funny and sometimes very touching. Definitely a fun ride, very readable, and I found it hard to put down.  Recommended.

In one word, The Naughty Girls' Book Club is delightful! It was just so much fun and left me with a smile. It kind of reminded me of Chocolat (without the magic, and coffee instead of chocolate) in how a group of people come together as strangers, and then help each other to get more out of life. They all change in some small way thanks to their bi-weekly discussion of erotic novels. I just loved watching them all come to life, realizing what they want, and go after it. Also, the themes of being open-minded (not just in the bedroom!) and unselfconscious were great.

The Naughty Girls' Book Club all starts when Estelle needs a business boost at her cafe. She decides to try a book club, but their first selection doesn't go too well. She wanted to focus on "high-brow" classics and make the group serious, but when the members accidentally see that she's reading a Fifty Shades-esque novel, things start to look up. Everyone grabs a copy, even Reggie, the groups only male member who claims he's there for thesis research. And their eyes are opened to the magical world of erotica! Even if not all of them found it sexy, it was still a great ice breakers, allowing for great discussion and the beginnings of friendships.

The Naughty Girls' Book Club alternates POV between each of the group members. There are five of them, but the narrative never felt jumpy or overwhelming. They each have their own distinct problems to work through, and I enjoyed them all. Estelle is divorced and having trouble finding time to move on. Sue is recently retired and wants to go on world adventures, while her husband just wants to sit at home watching TV. Rebecca is a newlywed, but things are already feeling stale in her relationship, and she's the one most open to "experimenting" much to her husband's delight! Gracie is a young feminist who believes erotica sets women back 50 years(at least, at first). Finally, there's Reggie, who is a bit of a geek and worries that he's not what women want, since he doesn't even compare to the heroes in their book club titles. I loved getting to know all of them and watching them bond with each other.

I really enjoyed The Naughty Girls' Book Club. I did get a little worried in the beginning, since I couldn't really relate to the older women and their marriage woes. But that ended up not being a problem, since at the root of it, their problems were more about discovering what they want out of life and relationships and being comfortable with themselves, rather than simply their marriages. It was a really sweet and fun book, and I highly recommend it.

It was a lot of fun.  I don't usually read urban fantasy, and this one was great.

This book kept sending me into fits of giggles.  "These jerks weren't going to kill my goblins.  I was.  Wait, no I wasn't."  I completely lost it at "And that would make me the God of Telling Lux to Shove It.  I liked the sound of that."

The "voice" of this book was a lot of fun.  It fit my sense of humor quite well (I also like Douglas Adams and Monty Python), and I enjoyed reading this.  It's always nice to finish a book with a smile on your face.

The frustration of the narrator with his fellow gods was palpable at times, but always amusing.  The contrast between the created races (or rather the gods' "plans" and ideas regarding them) was interesting, and Acerbus' (mighty be the Smiter) solution to the problem managed to be innovative while incorporating some of the oldest tropes in story-telling history.
