My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Oh Bodi Bodi Bodi… I LOVE this hero so much. Seriously, Ms. Meghan’s outdone herself with this book. What a beautiful story! Here is the thing – when I pick up one of Meghan’s books I know I am in for some guaranteed belly laughing, rolling on the floor and peeing my pants good time. Stroke Long is no different, BUT this book has something a little extra special besides RomCom guys … I must say Meghan Quinn has made a little soft, sweet, tugging at your heart type of story this time. I knew right away after reading the prologue that there was something unique with this book. It starts out as expected – light hearted, funny and then WHAM! BAM! F…king ripped my heart out. I did not expect that at all … For that, I am hunting her down soon to get my damn heart back
So if you read Stroked, you will see a little bit of Bodi and I am so glad Meghan gave him this beautiful story. On the outside Bodi is sexy, talented, popular, successful, and at the top of his game but he is much more than that. He is flawed, broken, socially awkward but also protective, caring, has a huge heart and a lot of love to give … he just needs the right person. Ruby is quirky and funny with no brain to mouth filter. She is honest and sometimes embarrasses herself but that’ is just Ruby – what you see is what you get. Ruby has been secretly crushing on the handsome Bodi but she finds out quickly that he is a tough nut to crack. She understands and knows Bodi’s ticks more than she leads on but Ruby never judges – I have a new found respect for this heroine. Ruby is all sunshine, loyal, caring, beautiful and has an amazing heart – someone you want to be your best friend. The chemistry between Bodi and Ruby is undeniable but their relationship starts out slow as coworkers, friends, then grows A LOT more later on. I like the gentle and steady burn between them because it makes sense and it feels more real given Bodi’s past. Bodi carries a lot of guilt – it takes time for Bodi to accept that he deserves to love someone and to be loved.
Stroked Long is fantastic guys – exquisite writing as usual. This book is sexy, witty, and heartwarming featuring a beautiful tormented hero and a sweet quirky heroine that will leave you with all the feels. You will laugh, cry and swoon. There is no shortage of sexy burning-the-sheet scenes though. The chemistry between them is mouth-watering sexy. Boodi is broody and super-hot – bring on the 6 pack and the tiny bathing suit anytime. Stroked Long as I mentioned before is deep, heartfelt, and a bit more profound than the usual romcom and let’s just say I absolutely LOVE this new side of Meghan. MUST READ!
Can’t wait until November for Stroked Hard, the series finale – Hollis and Melony.
