Screwdrivered

By: Alice Clayton

Narrated by: Heather Smith

Readers back for a third round of the bestselling Cocktail series will enjoy a madcap romantic comedy about bodice ripping and chest heaving, fiery passion and love everlasting. Plus a dash of paperwork filing and horseshi—wait, what?

By day, Viv Franklin is a tough-as-nails software engineer who designs programs and loves hospital corners. By night, Vivian’s a secret romance-novel junkie who longs for a knight in shining armor, or a cowboy on a wild stallion, or a strapping firefighter to sweep her off her feet. And she gets to wear the bodice—don’t forget the bodice.

When a phone call brings news that she’s inherited a beautiful old home in Mendocino, California from a long-forgotten aunt, she moves her entire life across the country to embark on what she sees as a great, romance-novel-worthy adventure. But romance novels always have a twist, don’t they?

There’s a cowboy, one that ignites her loins. Because Cowboy Hank is totally loin-ignition worthy. But there’s also a librarian, Clark Barrow. And he calls her Vivian. Can tweed jackets and elbow patches compete with chaps and spurs? You bet your sweet cow pie.

In Screwdrivered, Alice Clayton pits Superman against Clark in a hilarious and hot battle that delights a swooning Viv/Vivian. Also within this book, an answer to the question of the ages: Why ride a cowboy when you can ride a librarian?

Entertaining

Nice addition to the series, looking forward to all of these characters tying the knot! Lots of fun thanks a lot!

great first experience

First time using Audible, loved it! Funny story and good performance kept me entertained for hours. I didn't even mind traffic! Already using it again and will definitely listen to more Alice Clayton.

Cowboy or Librarian?

Alice Clayton definitely knows how to write a romantic comedy with plenty of wit. I loved this story nearly as much as I liked the first book in this series, Wallbanger. At the heart of it is a new adventure, a chance at life, and the love of a house. Then there's the cowboy and the librarian, and boy did that heat up the pages quite a bit! The spark between Clark and Viv, their constant butting of heads and pushing eachother's buttons, and the sexual tension make this novel page-turning yummy!

"It doesn’t always have to be so hard. Sometimes falling in love just means turning around and seeing what’s right in front of you."

addicted

I absolutely loved this book. The narrator was good too. it had me laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes. I will definitely be reading the rest of the series.
