I do enjoy contemporary romance for the most part. It is my read of choice. I have read several books by Aria Hawthorne but this by far is the most interesting book I’ve ever read.
Humorous and entertaining with a fabulous ending, here are my thoughts for this new release.

BOOK SUMMARY
Okay, it’s true. I am totally the horniest single girl in all of Chicago for wanting to suck those dimples right off his beautiful, Euro-chiseled face the moment he walks up to my candy counter and says, “Cheers” with his royally posh British accent and deliciously devilish smirk. #EarlofStudlandia
He’s offering me a one-night stand in his penthouse hotel suite and I’m the kind of habitual hot mess who’s willing to accept it, if I wasn’t already overcommitted. #MistressofMisbehavin
You see, I’ve been suckered into accepting this crazy second job. Despite the fact that I’ve never held a respectable, responsible job for more than a month in my life, I’m now the part-time social media director of Boink, my favorite online store selling “intimate accessories” for single girls like me who not only want to have frivolous Sex in the City, but who also don’t want to wait around for Prince Charming to magically swipe right, just so I can experience my nightly Mighty O’s. #MyPleasureChest #MyFemaleEmpowerment
But there’s just one problem—Boink’s old crotchety chief investor who I’ve never met is determined to force the business into bankruptcy, and the only way I can keep Boink afloat—and my new job as its Director of Cumbacks in play—is if I can convince my newest nemesis, Mr. Kit Crusty Balls, that I can turnaround his failing company faster than its JackRabbits can make me say, Ooh-ooh-ooh-OOH-LA-LA-LAAAAaaaaaaa.
And hopefully, whenever he returns to Chicago, Earl of Studlandia and I will finally have our royally raunchy romp, despite the fact that our impromptu texting affair and unexpected emotional connection might be softening my noncommittal snarky brat heart into the fantasy of something more than just one night of whoreplay. After all, I’m now the respectable, responsible social media director of Boink. Maybe it’s time for a sexy international mancandy of mystery to persuade me to find love within my own pleasure chest.
Boink’d by Aria Hawthorne REview
There were a few things in the story that really got to me. Boink’d is written with a YA style but the characters are late 20s and 30s – I trying to remember. It was fine with Christopher’s character but Conchita got a little out of control.
The story is a fun rom-com with great characters. Conchita lives her life on her terms. She even had her own alter ego in the book. Bit strange sometimes. LOL
She was given a dream job in social media and took it to the max. That meant hashtag sayings were #SprinkledThroughoutTheEntireBook!
While it’s part of the humor of the story and her great sense of snark, it was extremely distracting to have so many. 99% of them I skipped over.
In the beginning of the story we were kind of tiptoeing around trying to get these two together. However, it was the last third of the book that really turned the story around for me and brought the goods.
I adored Christopher. His sense of decency, emotion, and his incredibly talented bedroom skills really made the story what it is. Spicy!!
Hawthorne worked hard with the story. It certainly shows through her fun loving and careful crafting of two great characters that truly were made for each other. It’s definitely a story that you will want to read again and again.
I can see why Hawthorne is a much loved contemporary romance author. Fun stories with hot connections that seem like your friends. Boink’d is a perfect example!
4.5 Stars!
