This was an extremely contemporary book which brought in some of the fun of social media. Parts of it reminded me of that hilarious hashtag skit on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon where Jimmy and Justin Timberlake go back and forth talking in hashtags. In this book, the heroine of the story is named Conchita and she works part time at a Candy store, but her brother in law Harvey gets her a second job working at a sex toy company named Boink that is behind on the rent in a building he owns.
He thinks Conchita can help their business by being the social media director. She takes to the job immediately, posting all over various sites with pictures of their products and funny hashtags. However after only a few days she hears from the company’s owner that the man that backed them with the funding, Mr. Griffin, is closing things down. Conchita pictures a stuffy old dude, so she starts to hassle him by tagging him in all her posts and calling him names like #CrustyBalls.
Conchita and Mr. Griffin end up in bit of a social media war. Little does Conchita know, that Mr. Griffin is the same guy she met as Christopher at her candy store job and she has been flirting with him and is planning to go out with him when they can align their schedules.
The book has some really funny parts and when Christopher and Conchita discover that they have been having an online war with each other, the story really starts moving forward. I genuinely liked Conchita, she has this inner voice she calls “Snarky Brat” and it is Snarky Brat who thinking all of these hilarious hashtags and funny nicknames even when she doesn’t happen to be posting online. She calls Christopher the Earl of Studlandia because he is British and she has a ton of names for herself.
The romance between the two main characters is super hot. Snarky Brat comes up with plenty of awesome hashtags to prove it. Conchita gets a pug puppy from Christopher and names it Mr. Barney Snuggles or Mr. Snuggles for short, because that is the kind of person she is. I have wanted a pug puppy for quite a while, so I was extremely jealous of her (yes I do know it is crazy to be jealous of a fictional character), but everybody goes a little mad sometimes, right?

Off the charts & out of this galaxy stars !!!! Night Owl award as well
ARC received from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Opinions expressed are my own & have not been influenced in any way.
BOINK’D IS ONE AMAZING READ !! I absolutely loved it from the first page to the very last written words ….
The sign of a truly great book is not wanting it to end even after the HEA & this book has one that still has me thinking about it!
A re-read is definitely in order ASAP !!
It’s also great this book has some of the characters from the Chicago Billionaire Series – I was so excited to see especially Alma & Harvey flow into the story line. This book can however be read as a standalone.
Conchita & Christopher are perfection as the main characters. I also really loved Conchita’s super snarky alter ego … giving this mostly put together – but sometimes a hot mess character some of the funniest dialog I have ever read …
Few examples that I ( Instagram references too )
Oh great … an arrogant filthy rich double British butt wad … no freaking wonder
Right shall I pick you up ? NO, HE ABSOLUTELY SHALL NOT !!!!SNARKY BRAT SCREAMS AT ME …

Who has not thought some of this – first date my apartment is a pretty scary place right now – LOL FUNNY !!
Of course Christopher thinks Conchita is one “saucy minx” – FINALLY they get to go on their first date & it’s magic !!!
This book checked a lot of my boxes for an awesome read :
Relatable yet very different characters that bring out the best in each other
Chance meeting
British Billionaire & just your average shop girl ( aka the saucy minx )
Finding a career you love & you are exceptionally good at ( 25,000 Instagram followers take notice )
Epic fail to epic romance = HEA
Feel good read – bring on the snarkyness
Sizzling chemistry that will certainly melt your e-reader
Highly recommend this read and you will definitely want to check out this author’s backlist .
Read in one sitting could not put it down – loved it so much – top ten read of 2019

#Schzammy-Fabulosa! OMG this book! Every single person needs this book in their lives… The world needs these kinds of sweet-adorkable-belly-laugh-inducing-lighthearted-romantic-dirty-sweetness-like-everything-good-in-the-world-all-rolled-up-in-a-Fantastic-rom-com-book.
I loved Conchita and her inner mind snarky brat. When she meets a man with a sexy British accent at the sweet shop she works at, her life is about to get a lot more complicated. Especially when her brother-in-law Harvey gets her a another job at BOINK, a struggling sex toy company as the social media manager. Conchita is perfect for this job since she is one of Boink’s biggest customer and a social media whiz.
Christopher Griffin or “Studlandia” as Conchita nicknames him is handsome, sophisticated, sexy, and has a sexy British accent. He is taken by Conchita and her refreshing, uninhibited, daring, and impulsive personality. But as these two try to have a one night stand life keeps tormenting them by keeping them apart. When Christopher has to return to England he keeps pursuing Conchita.
These two are spontaneous, passionate and so right for one another. But what will happen when Conchita finds out that her new man crush0 is her biggest arch enemy?
Warning!! Please be very careful eating or drinking anything when reading this book. Sudden hilarity may cause a choking hazard. Cheesy, snarky, crazy, sexy comments can be extremely sexy and dangerous! #Love-it!
