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...

Clive the cat really makes it a howl

What did you love best about Wallbanger?

Many time you were going into each persons mind as to what they were thinking during a certain gathering......I found those parts hysterical. Also Clive the cat causes many interesting circumstances that are Laugh Out Loud funny.

What did you like best about this story?

It was a romantic comedy, and there some stressful times but always a laugh at the end.

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

This was my first listen of Heather Smith, she did a fine job with different characters voices and emotions.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I really wanted to but, as we all know responsibilities come first, but I did finish in 2 days.

Any additional comments?

Some one had mentioned that the writing of Alice Clayton was similar to Molly Harper......I wouldn't put her at Molly Harpers level of expertise, But I think Alice Clayton pulled off a really sweet funny romance story, with a happy ending. The narration by Clive the cat at the end is a HOOT!

Review: Cocktail #1: Wallbanger

What did you love best about Wallbanger?

The humor - the open animosity in the beginning between Simon and Caroline, and Clive's reaction to the various visitors to Simon's side of the wall.

What other book might you compare Wallbanger to and why?

Tangled series by Emma Chase for the similarities in humor and level of enjoyability.

What does Heather Smith bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Definitely Clive's POV

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Bang twice for love...

It was ok I guess

Started off well but quickly turned very predictable then seem to end quite abruptly but entertaining enough. Nothing like the crossfire series now that's amazing!

Light, funny and not too raunchy.

Light, funny and not too raunchy. A good summer read. Probably wouldn't want to listen to the last few chapters with others around. It is a bit awkward when the female narrates the male character.

Couldnt get enough

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed this book and I enjoyed it even more with Heather Smith performing it.This book was great by itself and with her it just made it even better.

Fantastic Reading.

Very sensual and very emotional at the same time. The humor was great. Found myself frequently laughing out loud. A very good read.

Hilarious!

Would you consider the audio edition of Wallbanger to be better than the print version?

Haven't read the print version. The audio version however is awesome!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Caroline of course! She had the "bangin" nerve to face him and go for it!

What about Heather Smith’s performance did you like?

Oh she is wonderful! Her presentation actually makes me want to listen to this book again!

If you could take any character from Wallbanger out to dinner, who would it be and why?

Caroline, Her inner thoughts are so funny.

Any additional comments?

I recommend this book to everyone! Great story , Great performance and I am still laughing at some of the parts I can remember. Gonna listen to it again!

Dude. I had a 10 hour road trip so listened. Never again thank

It’s under erotic half to get to last 3 hours of an 11 hour read to get to that. Cute romance story but not erotica!!! Lovely story though.

I love it

I loved it so much I've read it three times best book ever worth it

Feedback

I did not like a single narrator. At times I think she was overly dramatic. Did not like the fact the super stud Simon sounded like a girl. I think it took away from his character. I wanted to like this book but it never quite got there for me.
