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...

Breathy, Sexy Chic Lit

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I bought this audiobook because it was a bargain, and I was pleasantly surprised. I haven't read or listening to much in the "chic lit' category as a disclaimer! I felt like parts of the story were very contrived: especially Caroline's two best friends, who were caricatures at best and one dimensional buzzing gnats at worst. I thought some parts of the story were creative like the texting logs. I would recommend this to someone who enjoys a good, sexy romance.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Wallbanger was the best. I wish they really made men like him!

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

The narrator's performance was probably my favorite part of this audiobook. She didn't hold back! It all came together in the end in a frenzy of breathy, sexy moaning.

Could you see Wallbanger being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

I could see this being a romantic comedy with a N17 rating.

Too drawn out!

Very few parts that were exciting. You keep waiting for something to happen, and it takes forever.

Entertaining and hilarious love story!

I love the name calling and situations that blossomed to an unusual love love story between the leads. Very realistic and even included an affair with a pet cat.Very charming:)

Fun, lightweight listen!

This is a hilarious listen - very playful, spirited and blunt. If you're looking for a light listen, this is a good choice.

Great book!

I loved this book. I didn't want to stop listening. I enjoy audiobooks because I don't have time to sit. This book made my chores so much better. It's really funny as well. Very good!!!

LOL'd the entire time

Would you listen to Wallbanger again? Why?

Yes. This was such a comical book. Whenever I need a good laugh this will be the book I go to.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Wallbanger?

Clive

What about Heather Smith’s performance did you like?

She was fantastic. I can't imagine reading this book out loud and yet she did it so well.

Who was the most memorable character of Wallbanger and why?

Caroline and Simon

Any additional comments?

This was such a great listen. I've been wanting to read it for awhile but didn't have the time. I'm actually glad that I did the audio first.

Good book

I really enjoyed the story, but the narrator was not a good choice at all.
Caroline is supposed to be 26 years old, the voice of the narrator makes her and the friends sound like they are waaaay older. It was hard to concentrate and think of Caroline as a young woman when the voice of the narrator makes her sound like she's in her 40s or much older. It just doesn't go well with the story.

Don't let the cover fool you

What did you like best about this story?

This book was laugh out loud funny! Going in I wonder what it would be like since the cover and name of the book seemed so defining but was still curious by some of the reviews I had read. I had tears I was laughing so much in some parts.

strong start but overdone

This book is about 4 hours longer than it needs to be. I couldn't finish the last chapter.
