Caroline Reynolds has a fantastic new apartment in San Francisco, a Kitchen Aid mixer to die for, and no O (and we’re not talking Oprah here, folks). She has a flourishing design career, an office overlooking the bay, a killer zucchini bread recipe, and no O. She has Clive (the best cat ever), great friends, a great rack, and no O. Adding insult to O-less, she also has an oversexed neighbor with … with the loudest late-night wallbanging she’s ever heard. Every moan, spank, and — was that a meow? — punctuates the fact that not only is she losing sleep, she still has — yep, you guessed it — no O. Enter Simon Parker. When the wallbanging threatens to literally bounce her out of bed, Caroline, clad in sexual frustration and a pink baby-doll nightie, confronts her heard-but-never-seen neighbor. Their late-night hallway encounter has… well… mixed results. Because with walls this thin, the tension’s gonna be thick. A delicious mix of silly and steamy, this is an irresistible tale of exasperation at first sight.

I’ve been reviewing some of my favorite funny books, trying to decide what makes them so memorable. And with this book, it’s definitely two things: voice and motif. The motifs are irresistible. I will never think about the word “jackhammer” without laughing again. Even the subplot about her two friends is fresh and hilarious.
Five years later I’m …
Wallbanger is the first installment in Alice Clayton’s humorous, contemporary romance series: Cocktail. I’ve had my eye on this book and finally found the time to read it…and I loved it! It is so funny, but also very sweet and sexy. The characters are great and were written in such a way that made me wish they were real so we could all be best …
After reading two dud books in a row, I got my mojo back, just like Caroline (you’ll have to read it to get it!) with Wallbanger! I decided I had to read this after seeing all of the 5 star reviews. And I am SO glad that I did! I haven’t smiled and laughed so much at a book in a while!
Oh the flirty banter in this book is AMAZE-BALLS! Okay, …
This book actually had me laughing out loud on an airplane. Alice is simply wonderful when it comes to comedic timing. I couldn’t go to bed until after I found out what happened in Spain, and that was well after 2:00 am!
This is one of my favorite go-to books when I need a lift. Clive the cat is fantastic, and so are all the other characters. The humor and heat are off the charts.
Very good, funny book about relationships.
This story is lovely. There is no other word for it. It’s about two people with baggage – and a slight fear of relationships – and their friendship that changes into something more. But it’s not only a love story. It’s funny too which is super important, to me at least. If there isn’t any humour in between the angsty and romancy parts, it’s just …
Kind of boring to me.
I loved this book!
Wallbanger is laugh out loud funny and sexy all wrapped in one fantastic book.
Caroline likes living in her new apartment in San Francisco. She is renting it from her great boss and good friend, Jillian. Caroline decides to take a break from dating and just focus on her interior designing career and her friendships with Sophia and Mimi.

The entire Cocktail Series by Alice Clayton is one of my all time favorites! It takes a lot to get me to laugh out loud while reading, but this series accomplishes that several times over, per book. Alice Clayton is one of my favorite go-to authors for entertainment, an excellent story, and engaging characters. Try it!!!
WALLBANGER is a cute story with very little angst, a guy that has never had a relationship with just one woman, and a woman whose life is going well except in the relationship department.
There was a lot of witty banter, snark, innuendo etc. in the dialogue. Some was cliche and some of the really good euphemisms were overused.
The story itself …
This was such a pleasure to read and made me smile from start to finish.
Caroline and Simon turned hate into friendship into love in the funniest way.
I had tears streaming down my face at Clive an his antics toward the end of the book when he got his claws into Simon.
Alice Clayton never fails to make me laugh with her likeable characters and …
Wallbanger by Alice Clayton
8/10 recommend • 4/5 • 3/5
This is a light hearted rom-com that starts with a BANG!
Wallbanger can be read as a stand-alone, but there’s also a sequel (Rusty Nailed) and 2 more stand-alone spin-offs.
Caroline moves into her apartment and gets a big welcoming by her new neighbor by the banging on her bedroom …
I have lost the amount of times I have read this one. And I laugh everytime like it’s the first read.
I am absolutely in love with this book. It’s my go to ‘feel good’ book.
This book has it all… the chemistry… the banter… the steam… the romance… the flirting… the nooking…
It tells the story of Caroline Reynolds, who has just moved into a new …
This romcom has been on my bookshelf for years and recently reread it! Love it. So funny and Simon Parker is hot!
I loved the characters and the over-the-top humor and mayhem. The motifs were also weel placed!
