I enjoyed this. The banter; the attraction; the relationship.
I wasn't sure about this book; whether I wanted to read it; would I like it. And the answer now I have is yes and yes.
It hooked me in from early on and I so wasn't expected that to happen in the first chapter, not with how Chloe had described Bennett. And then I had to laugh when she just left him there and I knew I was going to really like it. Then as the hot sex and insults continued throughout, I just wanted to shout, "Get on with it and admit how you feel, you idiots!"
There was a nice progression to it, their feelings didn't suddenly occur, you saw it happen and I loved that.
I think I need to read the rest of the series now to see how some of the other characters and Bennett and Chloe's story continues.

This one, I struggled with from the beginning. I couldn't remember who Boris Jagger was or why Ian and co were so afraid/wary of him, and to be honest--brutally honest--I wasn't all that bothered either. I was reading it for the romance and since I couldn't really remember the previous books, I missed out on a lot of Ian and Hollis' back story. And then I started struggling some more, skipping sex scenes when I wasn't connecting with the characters.\
I did like some parts of this book, though. The Ranger bits in the forest/cabin were cool. The friendship and camaraderie between the friends and partners. I won't be reading the wedding book though.

Cori June (3033 KP) rated Happy Hour in Hell (Bobby Dollar #2) in Books
Apr 29, 2021
This book never fails to make me cry--and not for the reasons you think. There is plenty of torture, trauma, even rape--he is going to actual Hell after all-- which makes the interludes on why he is doing what he's doing refreshing even if they make me blush.
I admit my imagination fails me after a while with this book and while he does cheat on some of the torture it is still quite graphic, having both sex scenes (also in the non rape variety) and torture scenes. It is actually how Bobby himself slowly changes that is the most chilling as he adjusts to slowly losing himself in his new environment.
This book will make you think and may even challenge some of your views.
