BLURB:
Sloane has been on her share of dates. She just can’t seem to find the right guy to pop her virgin cherry. Sloane’s mother, a well-known sex guru, believes she’s suffering from a hostile vagina. Poor Sloane is beginning to believe her mother’s professional diagnosis is true. Except for one small detail... She’s been pining for her best friend’s brother, Oli, for the past decade. Sloane’s heart is set on the unattainable, sexy-as-sin hockey player. She would give up on her Oli fantasy if it weren’t for those constant heated glares and that one passionate kiss that set her world on fire confirming her hostile vagina is right. Oli is the man for the job. Problem is, Oli seems to have no intention of settling down and has clearly placed Sloane in the friend zone. When crisis strikes, Oli and Sloane end up trapped in a car, driving to Canada with a sweet puppy and a whole lot of chemistry. But when Oli realizes she’s a virgin, he wants to run to the farthest hills to get away from her. Sometimes happily-ever-after isn’t that easy... Butt Ending is a laugh-out-loud friends-to-lovers story. Get ready for foodgasms, dirty talk, and one heck of a sexy alpha-male hockey player.

Review:

Rating: 2 very generous stars for the first 79% of my book.

The book was very good and I was enjoying reading it. Then I was about 80% done, Oliver said (and I quote) ""I promise you there hasn't been anyone else. At least there hasn't been since before the playoffs began. Since the day I can to see you at your Krav Maga class." I admit. It isn't lost on me that she is going to piece the facts together. She will realise that there were womEn in my bed after I slept with her. It makes me feel like a s**t" I bet you weren't feeling like that when you were inside them and Sloane was  mopping around.  HE WAS STILL SLEEPING WITH OTHER WOMEN AFTER HE SLEPT WITH SLOANE. I skimmed the rest of the book once he said that. The Krav maga classes began when 71% of the book had passed and in the book's timeline, we are still talking about 2-3 months after they things started getting heated between them. I am supposed to fall for that kind of guy? And after that, we even got to see him with one of his causal hookups at a party where Sloane was in with his zipper down. I was tired of the virgin/I have slept with half the country trope after hearing about it for half the book and thing revelation made it even worse. Am I supposed to like Oliver for trying to keep it in his pants for 2 seconds? And did we really needed to know that? We didn't read about him doing the act, so why mention it when 4/5 of the book have passed? To create drama? To ruin my morning? To do what every other author does and repeat the same material? And Sloane just accepted it.... Like, "hey it's cool that you f**ed other women after you took my virginity and got jealous over another man" The main characters are weak and they deserve each other. I hope that Oliver is not carrying any STD's from all the manwhoring he did. Sloane should have moved on with another man. Oliver did nothing to make me feel like he deserved a happy ending. He is a commitment-phoebe and he doesn't even have a solid reason for that.

I would have given a second chance to series by reading books 1 or 3, but all of them feature manwhores and I am afraid that the author will continue with the same trope. In the third book, the main characters have a history, so I am already imagining the "hero" having slept around while the heroine has a handful (at best) partners. I am tired of having weak heroines who forgive and forget too easily.




About R.C. Stephens:
As far back as R.C. Stephens can remember she was a sucker for a good romance. Of course there had to be a prince charming even if he ultimately was a dark knight and there had to be a happy ending. She watched the movie Dirty Dancing way too many times growing up and Jean Claude Van Damme movies too. Go figure! After years of saying she would write a book one day, she finally put pen to paper and carved out the plot line for what would eventually become the best selling Twisted Series. Now R.C. is just finishing up her tenth book and can’t seem to stop the stories running through her mind.
