What happens when the universe gets in the way of your "follow through"?
BLUE BALLS
Truth: A painful condition caused by a prolonged state of sexual arousal without release.
Myth: Only affects males.
SARAH
I’m beyond frustrated with the man who’s left me high and very far from dry. Multiple times. But, somehow, even though I’m not interested in a relationship, Mr. Tall-Dark-and-Handsome keeps me coming back for more—one crazy, sexual debacle after the next.
Come hell or high water, the stars will align, and the release will be out of this world.
JACK
I’m captivated with the woman who’s left me sixty-nine shades of blue, and she's only in this for one thing. The first time, I blew it—and not in the good way—but I’m going to ensure we finally see it through. I need to put an end to this “plague” of sexual calamities and prove to Sarah that we can have more.
It's time to grab the universe by the balls and show it who's boss.

About the author:
RC Boldt is the wife of Mr. Boldt, a retired Navy Chief, mother of Little Miss Boldt, and former teacher of many students. She currently lives on the southeastern coast of North Carolina, enjoys long walks on the beach, running, reading, people watching, and singing karaoke. If you're in the mood for some killer homemade mojitos, can't recall the lyrics to a particular 80's song, or just need to hang around a nonconformist who will do almost anything for a laugh, she's your girl.
My review:
This book was told from a dual POV and while Sarah's was more crazy and hilarious, Jack's was more easygoing and level-headed.
I
seriously loved the funny banter and messages between Sarah and Jack,
which had me constantly smiling or laughing. There wasn't any 'in
between' as there was always something happening (or Sarah embarrassing
herself) and my laugh muscles never got a break to relax. Working out
had never been so fun. =P
“It's not a special moment.”
I open my eyes, squinting up at him. “What would you call it then?”
My response is instant. “A migraine.”
The
characters had such bad luck; I was surprised at how often they had
been interrupted. It was like everything that could possibly go wrong
happened to them. I almost felt bad for them especially because it
nearly got me blue balls as well while cheering them on to get it
finally done just to be left high and dry yet again or rather drenched
and on the brink of getting the long longed for release, just to have it
snatched away from them seconds before.
The Story:
There
had been some chemistry between Jack and Sarah since the first time
they've met and it doesn't take long for them to act out on it. But it
seems that the odds aren't in their favor as they give each other
nothing more than blue balls. No matter how often they went at it,
something always interrupted them. Maybe the universe is against them?
But what when feelings get into the mix? Can they overcome their bad
luck and finally rid themselves of the painful BB? Or is there just no
way out and the best way would be to move on?
Thoughts:
To
be honest, this book was so hard to rate. I tried to think during the
read about how much I liked it but even now after I finished it, I
couldn't really decide. I also tried to compare it to the author's other
books but then thought it wouldn't be fair because this was too
different and uniquely written.
I really liked the writing because
it was refreshing and fun, although it probably isn't everybody’s
taste. (If you read an excerpt of this book or have read the book
already, you will know what I mean regarding Sarah's inner voice.)
The
chocolate messages were a nice addition especially because Maggie and
Ry had their napkins and I loved that our new couple also had something
special. I think that it mixed well with the funny side in the book
because the chocolate added something different and more sentimental
which grew throughout the story.
It made me happy that
Maggie and Ry were in this book as well because I adored their story and
I felt that this book had a nice ending for both couples.
(The
only thing that I'd have liked to see more of would've been of the
emotional kind. I get that Sarah was scared because of how her parents
parted and what her mother did but the characters spent so much time
together and the main focus of the story was the fun side - which I
understand and also liked because it obviously was a RomCom - but I just
wished to see more of their feelings growing.)

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
