Better than the Title Suggests

Despite the (in my opinion) poor title choice, this book is actually pretty good. It follows Amanda and Shane as they navigate their way around love - and each other.

There are some great aspects to this first person novel. First and foremost I enjoyed Amanda's personal attitude of self-acceptance. She likes who she is, and insists that others take her for what she is, too. She never compromises her personality for anyone else. It does mean that she isn't always trying to be a better person, but hey - some people are just fine with that. Shane is quite likeable, too, and I loved that he just kept trying. It takes a lot of courage to be emotionally vulnerable to the same person that many times. The many sex scenes are varied and inventive (with the deliberate exception of the first one).

There are however, a few things that I felt were poorly done. Amanda's boss was completely unbelievable from start to finish (to the point that it was distracting). The stories were icky, too. Second, Amanda and Shane's banter in the first third of the book goes beyond jocularity into meanness at times and I kept thinking that I would have been very uncomfortable had I been in the gym with them and heard some of what they said.
Finally, I felt that Amanda was too cavalier about her sex life (especially for someone who had the "snob" moniker). The has no fewer than three sexual partners in this book, often going from one to another within a week or less. While I was glad to see her practicing safe sex (through most of the book, anyway), it just made it hard to relate to her in places.

For a free kindle book, this wasn't terrible and it had some laugh out loud moments. Worth the purchase price, at least!

Sex Snob is a spin-off novella from Pieces of Perfect by Elizabeth Hayley

Sex Snob is hilarious, witty and all out sexy.

Sex Snob had me laughing throughout the novel, I loved having it in Amanda’s perspective. She was an amazing friend in Pieces of Perfect; but, she’s even more amazing with her own novel. She is a witty, sarcastic smart ass who gives as good as she gets. She’s had her fair share of the opposite sex, and one left her scarred. So, she became the Sex Snob, with rules to go along with the title:

Rule #1: Always sleep with a guy by the fourth date, to weed out those that are bad in the sack.
Rule #2: Don’t date men that make less than you, it’ll only cause problems.
Rule #3: Don’t kiss in bars or public places, it’s tasteless and classless.

Shane Reed may be an a**hole; but, there’s one thing he wants and it’s Amanda Bishop. But, they’re constantly having a battle of wits, Amanda always has to have the last say. Will Shane finally be her perfect match? Or will the Sex Snob finally push him away?

Amanda Bishop is hilarious, and will have you in stitches. The banter between her and Shane will keep you entertained throughout the story. Sex Snob is filled with drama and some hot sex scenes, the author did a fantastic job. If you have yet to read anything from these ladies I would advise checking them out. Both of these novels Pieces of Perfect which was the debut novel and Sex Snob have some seriously hot scenes in them, and the sequel to P.O.P will only get hotter from what I hear. If you want a novel that will keep you entertained with laughter and drooling over the sex scenes you’ll have to check out Sex Snob.

3.75/5 by Jenn @ Back Off My Books

This was a fun light hearted read that I was able to finish quickly within a day. I enjoyed Amanda and her personality and can understand her and her rules. I also liked Shane, though his trainer personality left something to be desired. At first I couldn't understand the would be switch that appears to happen in their relationship. It would seem that Shane has been interested in Amanda for a while, but no man interested in a woman would make the dumb mistake of saying what he did about a certain part of a woman's body. No man is apparently that stupid, especially when said man is apparently rather intelligent. According to this story Shane is. I wish his prior feelings were more thoroughly explored and explained.

That being said I enjoyed reading the interactions between the two and was eager to watch them progress, or regress, whatever the case may be. I also enjoyed the secondary characters as they did feel like they brought proper comedic relief when need or helped bring the heat when that was needed too.

I did find that some scenes were either bogged down, or just did not interest me and I skimmed them quickly just to move on to the next part. If it wasn't for this I know I would have rated this at least a 4. I also enjoyed the CrossFit / Paleo woven into the story, though I am Paleo (granted I am apparently a different breed of Paleo than the one portrayed in the book).

This was a fun read that I enjoyed and didn't regret at all.

Just Fell Short

This book had all the components of making a great humorous romance book but just fell short for me. Amanda was the snarky heroine and although sometimes her character was quite funny, other times she just came across as mean. If the heroine does not have a warmth conveyed while saying mean "funny" things, the whole story falls apart. Just like when you only let your best friend insult you because you know they love you. The chemistry between Amanda and Shane was hot and even cute. I really liked the banter between them. Shane as a hero was just OK though. Shane is the CrossFit trainer at Amanda's gym and I wasn't "feeling it" for his character. When Shane and Amanda finally got together, the sex in the beginning was drool worthy but then got repetitive. I much prefer the love scene with Amanda and her "friends with benefits' Kyle. I thought that would of been an interesting plot line if that relationship was more prominent in the story. Overall, just an OK read for me.
