Who doesn’t love Boone? This duet is one of my favorites. Ripley is a very special person, she is a strong and independent woman with a huge heart. She’s one of my favorite female characters I’ve read in a book. ( And I have read many books )
She got a special place in my heart right from the beginning. Boone is turning out to be a really sweet guy….WOW I’m impressed. Loveddddd this book, can’t wait to read book 2 to see how their HEA ends.
Boone Thrasher is my new country music hero!!!
When Boone cleaned up his bad boy ways and stayed in a long term relationship his image skyrocketed. Then the bottom falls out of his relationship and he’s stunned. Enter Ripley, a gorgeous bartender. He sees stars looking at her, only problem is she steers clear of famous people.
Boone is determined to show her that he defies the stereotypes of famous singers. The journey he takes to win her over had me wishing I’d met him in a bar and he was trying to woo me. He’s the perfect mix of sexy bad boy and heartfelt romantic.
In true Meghan March fashion we’re left with quite the cliffhanger. A completely shocking event I didn’t see coming at all. Thank goodness the conclusion to the duet is out and I was able to dive right into that one as well.
I enjoyed the book, but I really liked the ongoing story between MM books. It can be reach stand alone or with her other books, in publishing order, to get some background on the other characters/couples within the books that support the story line. I have not read them all in order, and I still really enjoyed each storyline. They books offered an anxiety free romance that was a touch complicated but enjoyable without anxiety or worry. MM does a great job allowing her readers to feel engaged, entertained, but with the absence of worry or dread. MM is becoming a favorite of mine.
[I read about 5-15 books a month through kindle, and I listen to about 15-30 books monthly]
I have always attempted to give star ratings on my completed reads, if for nothing else, it assists in my tracking of titles to allow a complete profile / search options. However, I am not one that will write an actual review unless I am willing to re-read the same story, read numerous works (and enjoyed them) from the same author and story line.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide a review. Happy reading 🙂
I do not usually care for musician romances but Megan does a great job. It’s a working girl and a down to earth celebrity, who occasionally gets high, finding their way together.
Story stops abruptly but continues in book two.
One of my favorite authors! A great book, I couldn’t put it down once I started reading.
I love Boone and Ripley together. Ripley sure did get the short end of the stick. I liked the fact that she didn’t just fall for him the moment she saw him. He definitely had to get her to open up to the idea of him. Of course right as it was getting good, cliffhanger! I can’t wait to read book 2!
Steamy read as expected of Meghan March
I enjoyed the book, but I wish the author would have finished the story instead of making the reader purchase another book to find how it ends.
I don’t like continued books that i have to wait to read.
Oh my, I just love Boone and Ripley, the banter between them is just a prelude to steamy encounters between them. What a cliffhanger at the end, can’t wait to dive into the next book.
Didn’t want it to end!
Ripley and Boone are freaking awesome! I love them! The way their relationship comes about, their banter, the fun they have. All. Of. It!!! I need more of them! They have such a sweet and sexy story and I can’t wait to see what happens next.
Another great read by Meghan March!!! Boone is a sexy, dirty talking, alpha bad boy country artist. Ripley has a no date celebrity rule, with a sassiness that is fun when she’s challenging Boone. The chemistry and banter between them is off the charts and can’t wait for Real Sexy!!!! Highly recommend this book!!
Actual Rating 3.75
I really liked this book at first until I started to realize some things about the characters and decisions they made. As usual I’m a sucker for a sexy, smooth talking singer. I can’t help it Boone Thrasher is sexy as hell. I mean his name is sexy alone. Gotta give Meghan mad props for that one. Its a name you just hear and know that face attached it is bound to be gorgeous.
So I can’t help but like the hot & steamy chemistry between Boone and Ripley. I like that Boone is more than his celebrity status and destroys all of Ripley’s preconceived notions about celebrities. He made an effort for her to get to know him and it was obvious that he cared about her and his lifestyle affected her. So all those things I really liked about this book.
Ok some of my issues lies with Ripley. She is literally her families punching bad for verbal abuse and she puts up with just so she can hold on to a bar that’s one step away from being shut down because its her only connection to her mother who was murdered there. See, this makes absolutely no sense to me. Her drunk father treats her like crap and disrespects the hell out of her and she deals with it while his bad decisions drags her down with him. Ripley has the worse cousin ever and she puts up with it, again, for no reason. The cousin hates her no apparent reason, but Ripley deals with her because she’s one of the few family members she has. Say What????. I’m not sure why what happened to her mom makes her hate celebrities. I don’t see the parallel. Its dumb.
But yes I will read what happens next because of that cliffhanger. I need to know what happens next. Again, Meghan is a great writer and I can’t help wanting to read her books. I just don’t love them.
Boone Thrasher is everything I expected. Good, bad, sweet, passionate and dirty! And just when the story was getting even more it happened. I should e seen it coming but got all wrapped up on the sexiness that is Boone Thrasher and fiestiness of Ripley.
The first word that comes to mind…….AMAZING!!!! The anticipation to read this book was too much that I couldn’t put the book down once I started. The chemistry between these two characters was off the charts hot as hell, they were burning up the pages. Between the sexiness, swoonworthiness and sass, Boone and Ripley have just become my new favorite couple. You definitely won’t want to pass up this read, then again why would you. Meghan definitely rocked my world with Real Dirty and she will definitely rock yours too! OMG, I am going to lose my mind waiting for the next book!!
Enjoyed. Wish this author came up with more interesting titles though.
