An interconnected STANDALONE friends-to-lovers romance. Guys like Tucker Moore didn’t date girls like me.He had boring ol’ washboard abs that looked like they were sculpted by the Gods, and I had more curves than a backroad in a country song.He could charm the panties off anyone he wanted, but I preferred to interact with my latest literary best friends.He was my next-door neighbor, and the … latest literary best friends.
He was my next-door neighbor, and the definition a bad idea.
I had no business thinking about him while I slid my hand up my own skirt to push the only buttons he had left untouched.
The only sliding I should have been doing was straight into the friend-zone.
Which I did, faster than he could say “Just friends.”
It didn’t matter that he spent more time in my apartment than his own or that he smiled at me in a way that made my stomach flip.
That was just Tucker.
And he was becoming my best friend.
Which made him completely off-limits.
But a weekend away and a bag packed so full I couldn’t fit my logic were our downfall.
We were going to screw everything up, and I would be the one left Bottoms Up.
An utterly delicious mix of realistic dialogue, sexual attraction, and raw emotions. Can’t wait to read more by Holly Renee.
I loved this book! I love curvy girl books! This was really fun, sweet and entertaining! I loved the characters especially Tucker!
Lord love Holly Renee!!! This was such a beautiful and inspiring story for us bigger girls!!! And it touched me on such a different level of my soul that I can’t even explain. This story is about loving yourself no matter what you look like every inch of your imperfections because someone will love those more about you than anything else. And to cut people out of your life that is toxic to you. I have no words that can actually do this books review justice so I’m going to leave it at that. And just say if you haven’t read her you need to asap!!! I highly highly recommend this book!!! – By Tina
**Spoiler Alert**
Kennedy (Firecracker) has been ridiculed all her life by her family and ex-boyfriends. She was never good enough for anyone and this destroyed her. All she ever wanted was to be loved and to be good enough for her family. Her mother is an uptight Bi*ch. Her father has no back bone and allows his wife to treat their only daughter as if she were pond scum. Her brother is a mommy’s boy and does everything expected of him. He is the perfect son and she could never compete. They want her to be someone she is not and she cannot control her fears.
Kennedy loves taking photos. She loves the history of an old building. She disappears into her own world while she captures the beauty of these buildings.
He mind is racing… She has literally just smacked into the hottest man she has ever laid her eyes on and she is spell bound…
Tucker, (Tuk) and his best friend Liam, move into a building next door to a couple of single ladies. He is a charming, loving, funny and hot as sin man, whose character has been built around this. He smacks into a woman while running down the stairs but what he doesn’t realise at the time is that she is about to knock him flat on his ass in a different way. She is breath-taking but he can see her insecurities. He can see that a wall has been carefully constructed around her heart.
Kennedy has been dealing with her insecurities all of her life. He mother should have been the one to build her up in life, not destroy any self-confidence she had. Her best friend Brooke has taken that place in her life. She is her rock. She is the one who picks up the pieces and she will always be the one she can trust. She cannot trust her heart with anyone else…..
There is so much story!!! I cannot give it away but please… read it… #Amazeballs
When I got this book, it took me a couple of days to open it because the few days before that, I read a book that I was really disappointed in. I felt if I had to open another book like that, it would ruin me for a while. Sad but true! I had never read anything by this author before and I was sceptical but o boy am I glad I started.
This story is filled with so much…. The character build up is phonemical. I laughed uncontrollably with the amount of sass and witty comments. The story was so well thought through and I was living the story along with the characters. The only down fall for me was that there was not a duel P.O.V. until the Epilogue. Having said that, this book was so worth reading. The pain, fear and emotions that Kennedy had to go through….. felt so real. It consumed me. The references made to “book boyfriends” was hilarious. I do this. I have so many book boyfriends that I could literally be called a #bookwhore and would walk proud. LOL
Holly Renee, you write with so much passion, inspiration and love. I really loved this book and cannot wait to read another… Well done!
Bottoms Up is a story you will love and l absolutely fell in love with this story! I loved Kennedy and Tucker together their banter was fun, they were sweet, with a hole lot of sexy steamy moments! Wonderful characters! Awesome ending!
Cute, Fast Read!
This book was super cute and made me laugh a few times. This is a new to me author and I can’t wait to read more by her. There was great character development even the secondary characters were awesome. I really loved Kennedy and Tucker. I really felt for Kennedy. She had been put down her entire life not only by ex boyfriends but by her whole family as well. She was always down on herself but still looked for her families approval. She always let them get to her. Then she meets Tucker who was awesome and you could tell right away he wasn’t like the others she had dated. I felt bad because she had this mantra in her head that she didn’t think she was worth it.
Thankfully she had an awesome best friend who was always there for her. There was a bit of angst in this book near the end because of some misunderstandings and self doubt. But in the end it all worked out and had their HEA. Can’t wait to read more by this author.
Love that the book included a plus sized heroine!
*I voluntarily read an advanced copy of this book for an honest review*
Kennedy and Tucker were such a amazing people. I say people and not couple because it seemed to take them awhile to become a couple. Kennedy was fighting insecurities that kept her from really being in a relationship with Tucker. Tucker was so patient with her, though I was happy when he finally stepped up and took what he wanted. This book was about so much more than two friends finding love in one another. It was about finding love, confidence, and patience in yourself. It was about accepting who you are and knowing that the real people in your life will love you for who you are no matter what you do or how you look. Thank you for writing such an amazing book!
I loved this book so much. I was hooked from the 1st page.
Kennedy is a lovely woman with curves and she gets herself a sexy man named Tucker but along the way she struggles with her insecurities. Tucker is loving and funny and very protective off kennedy.
They are amazing together and overcome many issues throughout the book.
a light, sweet, sexy and funny story, main characters are amazing and the secondary characters are fab. I cant wait to read book 2 and hopefully loads more in the series to come.
Beautifully written.
Tucker and Kennedys book is the first in this series and had me glued to the screen the enitre time. I really loved these two a lot. Kennedy had a lot of insecurities due to her family but Tucker was there for her and was so protectice of her! I was NOT the least bit disappointed with this book as I could not put down.
This book is full of laughter, passion and lots of feels! Tucker is so dang hot, come off a little manwhoreish but totally redeemable! Kennedy is the quiet one who quietly draws him in. Through all the twists and turns, they both keep their sense of humor while learning the valuable lesson of COMMUNICATION! These two are adorably perfect!
My first time reading reading on of Holly’s books and I was not disappointed. Bottoms Up pulled me in from the very beginning and held my interest until the very last word. It’s loaded with drama, heartbreak, friendships, romance and true love.
This books has a wonderful storyline and amazing characters. I fell in love with each and every character I met throughout Kennedy and Tucker’s story. It’s full of heartbreak, secrets, crazy friends, romance and tripe love.
Kennedy is a photographer and has sworn off love and relationships. She was never expecting to have two HOT new neighbors or to have one of them storm into her life and her heart like a tornado. Tucker was so unexpected and her feelings for him were uncontrollable l, they happened before she realized what hit her.
Highly recommend.
I loved it.
It was easy going, heart felt and had me hooked.
I loved Tucker he is cocky, asshole with a sweet side, but he loves her for who she is.
He breaks down all her defenses..
This book had me smiling along with their flirtatious ways..
Such a fun book! Kennedy and Tuck are a hilarious pair, add in Brooke and the story line is great. Super fun, sassy, and steamy!
