Blurb:
From his dirty-blond hair and breathtaking smile, to the abs from heaven and the irresistible V in his waistline, everything about Bodi Olympic-gold-medalist Banks screams hot piece of @$$.
Yet there’s more.
Dark shadows lurk behind his soulful, serious eyes.
I’m enamored. He’s captured me.
How can running an art foundation with Bodi Banks turns into a slow-burning, epic romance, even though he tries to push me away at every chance? How can I stay away from a broken, routine-driven man whose soul cries to be forgiven for a crime only he believes he committed? Or is that a lie?
**STROKED LONG can be read as a stand alone.

Reese
King: Olympic medalist, underwear model, Greek god.
His
body is chiseled from rock, sculpted by the weight room, and refined
by water.
On
a daily basis his skin is completely bare for everyone to see, tan
and defined, only covered up by a minuscule piece of spandex. There
is no denying his sex Appeal.
I
hate to admit it, but I’m head over heels infatuated with him.
There
is one HUGE problem though. His achingly gorgeous abs, inked up arm,
and cocky swagger belong to my boss, the high-profile, reality star
bitch from hell and certified heinous human being, Bellini Chambers.
What
I think is going to be an easy job assisting a glorified wench turns
into a cluster f*ck of epic proportions.

About
the author:
Born
in New York and raised in Southern California, Meghan has grown into
a sassy, peanut butter eating, blonde haired swearing, animal
hoarding lady. She is known to bust out and dance if "It's
Raining Men" starts beating through the air and heaven forbid
you get a margarita in her, protect your legs because they may be
humped.
Once
she started commuting for an hour and twenty minutes every day to
work for three years, she began to have conversations play in her
head, real life, deep male voices and dainty lady coos kind of
conversations. Perturbed and confused, she decided to either see a
therapist about the hot and steamy voices running through her head or
start writing them down. She decided to go with the cheaper option
and started writing... enter her first novel, Caught Looking.
Now
you can find the spicy, most definitely on the border of lunacy, kind
of crazy lady residing in Colorado with the love of her life and her
five, furry four legged children, hiking a trail or hiding behind
shelves at grocery stores, wondering what kind of lube the nervous
stranger will bring home to his wife. Oh and she loves a good boob
squeeze!

My Review:
This was the first book I’ve read by Meghan Quinn and I was pleasantly surprised.
I would describe this story as entertaining, funny and heartbreaking. I enjoyed it a lot and it even made me laugh so loud that people were looking funny at me on the street though it also made me sad at how heartbroken a man can be.
The Story:
Bodi Banks blames himself for what happened all those years ago in that horrid night when he was still a kid and he doesn't deem himself worth of anything. He needs control and structure in his life which became an obsessive compulsion disorder over the years. He has his routine at night and does things in threes. His swimming career makes it easier for him to live in a strict schedule though when he has to work with Ruby, his sister’s friend, on an art foundation he doesn't know how to act around her because he isn't good at socializing. He has no friends and doesn't do small talk. His sister and her girlfriend are the only two people in his life he's close with. He can't let anybody see how troubled and broken he is and he doesn't want to lose anyone he is close with again and the best way to prevent that is to not let anyone in his life in the first place. They would run away anyway when they see his obsessive compulsion not to mention his panic attacks though he hadn't had one of those in a while.
So when Ruby with all her mixed up colors and glitter all over her face walks into his black and white life, there is no way he will get out of this without any problems. He has to be more careful around her to not let her see the broken man he is because she would be running for the hills.
Though Ruby Heart isn't like anybody else he's ever met before. She wears colors in every way they come and mixes them as crazy as possible - it’s like an explosion of colors. She is exactly someone Bodi doesn’t need in his controlled life. How will this turn out when feelings are involved?
Thoughts:
This was such an entertaining and lovely book. The characters were not like your everyday kind of people and I liked them a lot together because Bodi and Ruby couldn't have been more different from each other which made this story so much more capturing besides the troubled man that made my heart ache for him. Bodi Banks was so hot but also so troubled all at once.
Ruby was hilarious, embarrassed herself all the time and was really awkward sometimes with her attempts of being funny but I actually had to laugh out loud a lot because of her. She was really funny as hell.
I absolutely loved this story because it pulled at my heart but also made me laugh so hard like I've never laughed while reading a book and let me tell you it needs a lot to make me laugh and this book made me laugh numerous of times.
The author brought the characters together in a nice way and I liked a lot that not everything was perfect when they met. They had their ups and downs and his troubled shadow didn't vanish all of a sudden and it was hard work for him to adjust to working with a stranger, though it helped a bit that she was his sister’s friend. I liked that she sensed his troubles and that she bend to it and helped him ease up and relax around her more and more. I noticed the changes in him as small as they were. It was so well written. I can't wait to read the next book by this author.
