Bitch Slap by Bijou HunterMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Banter At It’s Best
This is the second book in the series and is set approximately 12 years after the first book. The book can stand alone, but you won’t get the humour as much if you don’t read the first book.
Cricket’s step-dad runs the town of White Horse with an iron fist wrapped around a tire iron. He is ruthless, vicious and doesn’t tolerate many people other than his family. Cricket may as well have been spliced from his genes despite not sharing any. She’s been helping run White Horse for a few years now, despite only being 21. On her way back from visiting her cousin she stops for the night in West Virginia, where she meets Poet, the son of the local MC’s president.
Poet is gorgeous, laid back and efficiently ruthless when necessary. He has a huge family who may just be slightly weirder than Cricket’s. When he sets eyes on Cricket he is knocked sideways. They spend the night together but know they’ll never see each other again because they live 5 hours apart. They do exchange numbers but never expect to use them until Cricket gets a positive pregnancy test result.
This is a story of passion, affection and general weirdness. Cricket is definitely odd, to say the least, and her family isn’t any better. Their love language revolves around the ‘f’ word and imaginative insults. Poet loves Cricket’s weirdness but thinks his family’s different ‘f’ word is better.
Cricket and Poet start from a place of lust and affection and try to build a relationship that’s given a leg up because of the pregnancy. It’s not an easy road for them, but it’s hilarious for us readers. This book is vastly entertaining, though not particularly challenging. It’s perfect for when you want to recharge your brain and let it rest awhile, plus you’ll laugh a lot.
