Publisher's summary

The first night after Caroline moves into her fantastic new San Francisco apartment, she realizes she’s gaining an - um - intimate knowledge of her new neighbor’s nocturnal adventures. Thanks to paper-thin walls and the guy’s athletic prowess, she can hear not just his bed banging against the wall but the ecstatic response of what seems (as loud night after loud night goes by) like an endless parade of women. And since Caroline is currently on a self-imposed "dating hiatus," and her neighbor is clearly lethally attractive to women, she finds her fantasies keep her awake even longer than the noise. So when the wallbanging threatens to literally bounce her out of bed, Caroline, clad in sexual frustration and a pink baby-doll nightie, confronts Simon Parker, her heard-but-never-seen neighbor. The tension between them is as thick as the walls are thin, and the results just as mixed. Suddenly, Caroline is finding she may have discovered a whole new definition of neighborly....

In a delicious mix of silly and steamy, Alice Clayton dishes out a hot and hilarious tale of exasperation at first sight...

Sexy: a woman's fantasy

It's the chick flick, the rom-com of books. Bonus: several enjoyable X-rated sections. A fun romp!

Feels like the first time...

I was lucky enough to have read this story when it was title "Edward Wallbanger" on a fan fiction website. I loooooved it then and I LOOOOVE it now. Alice Clayton is such a great writer and I am so happy to see this story was published and then released as a audio book.

This story is sexy and comical, filled to overflowing with one-liners and charming characters. The sexual tension practically bubbles off of the page (or from the narrator's lips) and the zingers in this story make you want to smile and chuckle, and listen to it over and over and over again.

It is certainly worth a CREDIT, and HEAR ME NOW: ALICE CLAYTON IS A AUTHOR TO WATCH!!!

Slow story, bad narration

the progression of the story takes a very long time and there are a lot of fringe characters that don't really enhance the story line.

Sex & humor go together like peas & carrots

I LOVE IT when an author can deliver on humorous moments as well as hot ones. I really don't want to give anything away but its a great listen and you just have to jump take a dive and listen ;-)
Very credit worthy!

what a fun ride! {pun intended}

this was such a delight! i thoroughly loved it!

this book is a stand-alone so you don't have to wait for a book two, three, seven and fifteen. you can have the whole story right here and enjoy yourself from beginning to end.

in a nutshell. caroline has lost her "O" and she's trying to get it back. don't miss out on this ride! you'll love it!

it was super fun and the narration, while shrill in a few places, is still fabulous. plus the surprise narration at the end was darling. what fun!

Sexy and fun from beginning to end!

AC did a great job on the story! Very "Sex and the City-ish". Lots of real-world dialogue and believable action. I find her style similar to that of Molly Harper's book, "And one last thing". Awesome! I highly recommend it for a fun "escape".

As good as the zuccini bread!

This novel was so incredibly funny! From perfect sarcasm to dirty innuendoes to crazy mishaps, I couldn't stop laughing! This story isn't really deep or overly emotional but it is sexy, sweet, fun, and not ridiculously cheesy. In fact, at the moment it becomes to cheesy, when you're expecting all the pieces to fall into place, is when it doesn't! I loved it! The author proved that a perfect setting does not equal perfect ending, giving this story a real life quality. But don't let me scare you off, you definitely get your happy ending and its scorchingly hot!
OH! Before I forget, I have to say that all supporting and minor characters were wonderful and made this tale of fated love so well rounded. If you have a since of humor and need something feel-good, DO NOT pass this one up! Use credit/buy NOW!
My headline is something that you have to listen to this novel to understand in hopes of intriguing you enough to just go for it. I promise you won't regret it.

Wallbanger needed MORE BANGING

The title is misleading. If you're looking for lots of sex, this isn't the book for you. It's a decent book, the middle got boring. So, I skipped around to the good parts. It was too much banter for me.

Hillarious- But The Sexual Tension Was Frustrating

If you could sum up Wallbanger in three words, what would they be?

Funny, smart, clever

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

FINALLY!

Have you listened to any of Heather Smith’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, but she does an excellent job.

If you could rename Wallbanger, what would you call it?

No rename-it is PERFECT

Any additional comments?

This book was hilarious, full of sexual tension but very general [as opposed to graphic] in the descriptions of the any sexual acts.

I didn't really care for the naming of body parts and I was SO tired of hearing phrases like "she, the big O makes an appearance".

Along the lines of Sophie Kinsella & Marian Keys in the humor & relationship departments.

Note: Sexual situations and some strong language
