The Right Stud
Wall Street Journal bestselling author Ilsa Madden-Mills and USA Today bestselling author Tia Louise are back with an all-new romantic comedy filled with Southern sass and steamy scenes that will have you laughing out loud and fanning yourself. Pour the sweet tea and get ready…
“The best way to get over your sh**ty ex-fiancé is to get under a shiny new stud…”
As soon as Mr. Tall, Blond, and Handsome walks into that bar, I know he’s the hook-up I need to get over stupid Cheater Kyle.
A few stolen kisses in a dark hallway, and I’m pretty sure we’re headed for a home run—until he disappears without a trace.
Whatever. Men are all snakes in the grass, and I don’t need a new one anyway.
I resolve to forget about his perfect lips (and chest of steel) and instead focus on turning my Granny’s old beach house into a profitable B&B.
What I don’t expect is for him to show up the next day in my kitchen!
You see, my sexy mystery man is none other than Jax Roland, the drop-dead gorgeous home improvement star of The Right Stud, and he’s got an offer I can’t refuse.
With a suitcase in one hand and a hammer in the other, he wants to move in and renovate my old house while he films his new show.
But my roommate has secrets, and they threaten to rip our blossoming friendship—and possible love—apart.
When push comes to shove, is Jax really The Right Stud or is he just another nail in the coffin of love?

The Right Stud is by Ilsa Madden-Mills and Tia Louise. I’ve read several of Tia’s books but this is my first time with Ilsa!
Jax Roland lives in New York. His day job is with a Property Development Firm but his real love is what he does on the weekends. He films himself doing house renovations and puts them up on the internet. He calls the show The Right Stud. He’s developed a huge following. What he is hoping for is that the show will get picked up by HGTV. Jax has the perfect project to make that happen. He got an email from a woman in Palmetto, South Carolina that owns an old house on the coast that she is trying to renovate as a Bed and Breakfast. It’s his first night in town and tomorrow morning is the meeting. Tonight he is forced to endure a blind date his sister has set him up on. So he is sitting in the bar with his date wishing for the torture to end when she came in! A beautiful woman in a siren red dress. There is an encounter in the hallway, a scorching hot kiss with the promise of so much more. Only things don’t work out that way at all and after he takes his date home, he is unable to make it back to the bar.
“Underneath my new hair cut, freshly shaven face, and expensive suit beats the heart of a Neanderthal who’s found the girl he wants.”
Ashton Hall lost her Grandmother several months ago. Now all she has of her is her old Victorian house on the coast. It needs so much work and she’s out of money. So she contacted the star of The Right Stud and he seemed thrilled with the idea of renovating her home for his show. Six months ago Ashton had been engaged until she caught her fiancé cheating. It’s the night before her meeting with the contractor and her best friend has forced her to finally go out to the local bar for a drink. When she was in the hallway on the way to the restroom she ran right into the most gorgeous guy she has ever seen. When they touch it’s electric. When he kisses her she is putty in his hands. He says he has a quick errand to run and will be right back. She promises to wait for him, only he never returns. Why is she even surprised after what happened with her ex? She doesn’t need a man.
The next morning when Jax arrives at the home to meet his new client, both of them are shocked to realize that they had met the night before. Jax wants to explain but Ashton is having none of it. They are now in business together and that’s what their relationship will be, strictly business.
As they begin renovations, it’s obvious that Ashton is a natural in front of the camera. With each passing moment, Jax is convinced that this project is what is going to take his show to the next level. And Ashton is excited to get her home fixed. The problem is that the house is only half hers. The other half belongs to her brother and he doesn’t want to keep it. He wants her to sell.
The zing Ashton and Jax felt that night they met is growing every day as they get to know each other. They find something together that Ashton had given up on and up until then, Jax hadn’t been interested in finding. Not only does Jax want this show to succeed, he wants to fix this house for Ashton. He wants to make her happy. There is something there between them, something he isn’t sure if he can walk away from.
Only once again their relationship, both working and personal, is in jeopardy as a secret that Jax was keeping is revealed. After what happened to Ashton, all she wants is honesty. And it seems that Jax isn’t capable of that either.
I LOVED this book. Both Jax and Ashton are my perfect types of characters. Both are both tough and sensitive at the same time. It was a beautiful thing watching them fall for each other. There were so many hilarious moments in this book. There is the trouble causing billy goat, Jean Claude Van Ram. There is the macaw that belongs to Ashton’s boarder that swears like a trucker. And so much more. There are plenty of sigh worthy sweet moments and sexy moments. And just the right amount of tension to keep me turning the pages. These two authors make a perfect writing duo. I adored this book and hope to read so much more of their projects together.

Okay, here’s the thing, this cover...... Yes this cover completely won me. I mean seriously, can anyone say it’s not dreamy?????
This story is sweet, fun, sassy, and yes sexy!! We get introduced off the bat to Jax and Ashton, and their instant chemistry steams throughout the entire book.
Jax is hired to renovate Ashton’s grandmothers B&B and potentially make a TV show out of it, which would help cover cost of all the repairs that Ash is lacking. Jax isn’t looking for love, he definitely doesn’t want a relationship, he’d rather just simply play around with no strings attached.
Ashton is out looking for a little fun since walking in on her fiancé cheating on her, six months prior. She definitely isn’t looking for anything, let alone it’s known to everyone, she has no trust left to give a man. So when these two run into each other in the bar, the passion and chemistry sets them on fire and suddenly locking lips. Jax has to take care of a problem before taking this kiss and conversation any further, so he promises Ash he will be right back after running a quick errand. Yet, he never shows back up. Stood up and mad at herself for giving a guy a chance to hurt her again, she goes home.
So what happens when Jax shows up the next morning at Ash’s B&B as the man in charge of renovating her B&B.
Although Ashton drove me crazy a bit through this book, I throughly enjoyed this story. I loved the banter, I loved the connection these two share, I adored how much Jax cared for Ashton. It’s simply sweet, it’s adorable, and it’s definitely one you don’t want to miss 💗

The Right Stud is a fantastic read from Ilsa Madden-Mills and Tia Louise. I read this book in one day, opened it and didn't close it until I was done. I LOVED it! It was sweet, sexy, funny and all-around enjoyable. It has one of the best lines I've read so far this year--"Save us, Studly!" I laughed out loud, swooned and smiled from ear-to-ear. The Right Stud is the perfect Summer read. Grab your copy, open it and let "Studly" save you from a boring day!

The Right Stud was a hilarious, sweet, and even a bit of an emotional story. I instantly felt connected to these characters and from the first page on I was captivated by their story. Jax and Ashton were both very easy to like characters and I enjoyed getting to know them. Ashton's life was full of some very quirky and interesting things, like a bird who randomly yells out curses, which had me very curious about her life. Then you add Jax in the mix for some heat and they came together to create a wonderful story.
The tone of the book was pretty light and it kept that easy-flowing vibe the entire time. I liked that that it was just overall a really fun book and that there wasn't too much drama going on. Instead I got to just sit, read, and enjoy Jax and Ashton's romance. Definitely a book I would recommend for everyone.

4 All the Good Intentions Stars
* * * * Spoiler Free-It's Live!!!
Only Ilsa Madden-Mills and Tia Louise could come up with such a story...and make it all work...
Let's see-
There is Ashton, a beautiful woman who recently caught her fiancee cheating on her. She is stunned by this cheater and decides No Men for her...
There is her bestie who sends her out to the local watering hole to find a stud to cleanse out the memories of said cheating ex...
There at the bar is Jax..having the worst arranged date ever. He sees Ashton, follows her to the back of the bar and before they exchange names or anything...
They Are Kissing...Like Life Changing Type Kissing...
Jax tells Ashton he will be right back, he just has to take care of something... Like take home the girl he brought...Unfortunately, he gets stuck doing all sorts of things for his sister and never gets back to Ashton...
Which makes her hate men even more because she felt something for this unknown guy.
Oh Well...
Ashton has her grandmother's house and she is trying to figure out how to get it repaired and made into a B&B. Ashton thought outside the box by reaching out to a major YouTube Personality Jax Roland AKA The Right Stud. He does home renovations and repairs in his videos. She sent him an email detailing what she wanted to do and since Jax was coming down South to see his sis, it was perfect. He wants to become the next big HGTV star and she needed the place fixed.
Needles to say, when he shows up a tad early on her back porch, she is just as shocked as he is... It is the Great Kissing Guy who stood her up. Gah...
So that is the set up... But there is more, so much more. Wonderful secondary characters, an actual Goat, a swearing blue tongued parrot and the best older, inappropriate loving friend of her grandmother's. All of these elements could seem over the top and not blend...
Instead Ilsa Madden-Mills and Tia Louise crafted something that will make you laugh, get weak in the knees and care for all of them.
Also.... Did you see that cover and read the title...Yup... Amazing

Jax loves to renovate houses and he has an online show about it. He’s looking for the perfect house to renovate to get his show on the TV. Jax thinks Ashton’s house is the perfect house for this. Ashton has a B&B that her grandmother left her and she wants to make it successful. The house just desperately needs some renovations, so Ashton is over the moon that Jax wants to renovate her house. Ashton and Jax work together on Ashton’s house and Jax also stays at her house, so they spend a lot of time together.
Ashton is a great woman! She is kind, loving, passionate, hardworking and genuine. I admired Ashton’s strength and determination to make the B&B successful. I wasn’t a fan of her brother, because he is not supportive of Ashton’s dream. But she keeps fighting for her dream, no matter what her brother says to her. Ashton had a bad break up and she wasn’t looking for a new relationship. She’s attracted to Jax. She likes him more and more, but she doesn’t want to get hurt again.
Jax is an amazing man! He is strong, talented, kind, driven and passionate. He works very hard. Jax does not only have his show, but he also has another job. He loves filming for his show and he can’t wait for it to become big. The show is Jax’ focus in his life and not on finding love. So he didn’t expect to want Ashton so much and to really like her. Jax wants a chance with Ashton. He wants to fight for her, but he also is patient with her. I loved Jax and Ashton together.
I loved and enjoyed The Right Stud! It was refreshing, romantic, hot, sweet, fun and a little emotional. I laughed so many times. There were funny moments, the banter, funny people and even funny animals that made me laugh. This book really put a big smile on my face, from start to finish.

With The Right Stud, Ilsa Madden-Mills and Tia Louise have created a charmingly sweet and steamy tale about two people who fall in love over their mutual passion for home renovation.
Right on the tail of her failed engagement, Ashton is faced with the fact that if she doesn’t find a way to restore her granny’s beach house and turn it into a successful B&B, she’ll most likely have to sell it and thus resorts to writing an email to a home improvement reality show host for help. She never expected him to be the same gorgeous man she met at a bar and wanted to take home.
When Jax Roland drove to South Carolina he had two things in mind, to visit his sister and film the show that would get him out of his property development day job and take The Right Stud to a big time network. He didn’t anticipate his sister setting him up on the most boring date ever much less meeting the sexiest woman he’s ever seen during it.
Thinking he’s out of luck because he’d never see the alluring siren he stole a kiss from ever again, he’s thrilled to find out she’s the co-owner of the house he’s there to renovate. Now that he’s temporarily moved in, can they keep a professional relationship despite their growing attraction? Can their budding relationship survive Jax’s secret once it gets out?
Ilsa and Tia do wonderful job of developing both the plot and characters. With its small town and home improvement background, the story delivers a delicious central romance between Jax and Ashton who are both strong and sensitive, but while Ashton is caring and sweet, Jax is all alpha and sexy. But the delight doesn’t stop there, secondary characters like Mrs. C — a wise, semi-meddling older widow and the B&B’s other boarder— adds hilarity to the story as much as the misbehaving goat, the swearing macaw and the stinky skunks.
The Right Stud crackles with a wonderful blend of fun and clever dialog, sizzling swoon worthy romance, a beautiful backdrop and a full ensemble of alluring characters. It is standalone contemporary romance co-written by Ilsa Madden-Mills & Tia Louse. It is a super sexy home improvement romance, told from both points of view with a happy ending.

4 “I’m not like your ex. I’m not him.” Stars
Pretty good fate to lovers read. It even gets a bit emotional at points. Jax and Ashton have that instant connection that leads to sexual tension so hot that it could burn up a room! Of course there’s a tiny bit of angst, and one person in the relationship messes up... but all in all this is a quick and fun read. The angst it low. The sexy is high.
All in all a great read.

Ilsa Madden-Mills and Tia Louise have written a book that combines elements of fun, sexiness with moments of hilarious banters and unbelievable chemistry.
The Right Stud is a captivating book and I couldn't stop reading it once I started. From Jax's undeniable raw magnetism to Ashton's strength and determination, The Right Stud is filled with everything a contemporary romance should be.
There is no denying that Jax and Ashton's chemistry is insane and the authors have created a world for us readers that is honestly beautifully written. The authors have written a book that has two very strong, hardworking, passionate protagonists and secondary characters that are insanely hilarious. At this moment, I would like to give a shout out to two secondary characters: Mrs. C for being the oddest, funniest, most honestly unapologetic person! Second, to Jean Claude Van Ram- even the name is epic!(But you'll know the reason for mentioning this particular name when you read it...trust me.)
The Right Stud is a fun filled book with oodles of sweet, romantic moments.

So funny
Ashton life has been a rollercoaster she lost her granny and her fiance is a cheat. So lets just say things aren't really goin her way at the min. Then there's her brother that is causing her problems. Ashton needs something that's goin to make her happy and the her Granny house The Couch Shell. She has great plans for the place she just needs the right person to help her give it some love and care. Jax Roland The Right Stud is just the right person to help her. I
Jax Roland doesn't do relationships there not his thing. But when he sees a stunning woman dressed in a sexy red dress he can't seem to take his eyes of her. There is something about this woman that held his interest. He just didn't know that he would be staying in this woman's house while he worked. Jax was the home improvements star of The Right Stuff she when he got an offer to do some of his best work he couldn't turn it down. He just didn't think that he would end up finding a woman that would improve his life.
This book is brilliant it's funny sexy hot sad and happy. I went through so many emotions reading this book but most of the time I was laughing so hard. If it wasn't crazy birds flying around it's mad goats I just loved it. Jax and Ashton are so good from the start. They are so great together they are meant for each other. Jax is the guy to bring Ashton back to life after dealing with a lot of crap. Where Ashton keeps Jax on his toes and he needs someone like that. There are so many characters in this book that cracked up me up laughing if it wasn't Mrs C and Rufus it was Lulu and Jean Claude. There are just so many great parts of this book and they helped make this book great. Once I started it I couldn't put it down. I would highly recommend it. I really enjoyed the last book these 2 authors did together. So I was really looking forward to this book and in my opinion I think it better even though I really enjoyed The Last Guy a lot. There isn't a thing I didn't enjoy. I really can't wait to see what they do together next. I'm really hoping that we get more from Lulu and Ben I need more of them. So please can I have more.

This was such a cute, fun read!
Ashton is struggling to get her B&B up and running. Before she can do that, she has extensive repairs to make to the home she inherited from her grandmother. Unfortunately, her bank account doesn’t have what it takes to do so. With nothing to lose, she emails the star of the home renovation show The Right Stud. A month later and she has a sexy close encounter with a stranger at the local bar. When he disappears on her she puts it under her “can’t trust men” column and goes home. Until he shows up again the next morning.
Jax is hoping to get his renovation show onto HGTV and he’s found the perfect house to do so. He couldn’t have been more surprised to find the owner is the sexy woman he shared a hot moment with the night before. Too bad she’s mad as heck with him and it’s going to take some work to get back in there. When he finds himself in a complicated situation regarding Ashton and her house, he knows he has to come clean with her but there just doesn’t seem to be the right time.
I enjoyed this book so much! It was sassy and fun, sexy and fun, filled with passion and fun, and had a goat and parrot that led to more fun. And laughter. Lots of laugh out loud moments here. But the humor was never immature or inappropriate. It fit perfectly into the story. Along with the humor there was plenty of heart as Ashton struggles through grief, anger, lack of trust and falling in love. All of this brings about a wealth of character growth that I was proud to have witnessed in this heroine.
I loved Jax, even as I wanted to clobber him over the head and yell at him for his dimwitted decision. Men! But from the first moment he sensed the world resting on Ashton’s shoulders, his main priority was to help lighten her load. Even more, to take the load away completely. Gah! I love a hero like that!
This was a fast paced read with so much cuteness that my cheeks hurt from grinning. The steam was at a medium scorch and the secondary characters were perfect! I loved the epilogue giving us a sweet look into this couple’s future five years down the road. Overall, I enjoyed the heck out of this book and now I must backtrack to check out book one.

If you're looking for a romcom to sink your teeth in then look no further in The Right Stud. This is one fantastic laugh out loud read. I think I even snorted a little here and there. Can I say first off even as a side character Mrs. C and her bird Rufus were probably my favorites. I mean come on how can you not love little old ladies with basically no filters. As for Rufus, you just have to read for yourself to see why I love him. LOL. Now back to the focus of The Right Stud. The stud aka Jax is simply hot. I mean who doesn't like a hot guy who knows his way around a tool belt. Even when Jax is put in the middle of Ashton and her brother when his second job comes to light you still love him. Ashton is doing whatever it takes to preserve her family home. You feel for her and how she continues to try to get her brother Ben to understand what she wants. I love the chemistry between Ashton and Jax. They are so hot that they leave you fanning yourself at times. They fit so well together. I really loved The Right Stud. I couldn't put this one down. Seriously Ilsa Madden-Mills and Tia Louise did such a fab job with this one. You through in goats, birds, skunks, a little family drama, no filter old lady and a hunk of a handy man with someone who is just trying to hang on to a family home and you got a winner on your hands. YOU MUST READ THIS ONE. Seriously this is a romcom you don't want to miss.

I wanted to wait a day or two before writing a review but I just fricking loved it so much that I wouldn't be able to sleep if I didn't write down how good of a story this is - It really is such a feel-good kinda a book...I love everything about it. Ashton and Jax were such a cute couple. The pull that they had towards each other was so strong and hot that at times I thought my Kindle was about to explode 🌋.
Jax is my kinda a guy: smart-mouthed, strong,sexy and good with his hands. What more can a girl ask for 😉
Ashton (love the name) is such a beautiful soul. I loved how much she loved her house and was connected to it. Or how much she loved Mrs.C and her crazy bird. The side characters were hilarious.
Like said it was such a great story to read. I Dare You(see what i did there :P) to start reading it and not finish it in one sitting 😉

4.5 "Studly" Stars!!!
I wish you could see my face right now. I'm smiling like a loon and can't help but feel all these happy emotions that are running through me. My love affair with rom-coms knows no bounds. And The Right Stud hit all those things I love about a juicy rom-com. Yeah, there's drama, but you need it in order to spice things up. But it's not overly done, it's just the right amount to keep you engaged. And oh the laughs, from a foul mouthed parrot and a rambunctious goat, you'll be well entertained and giggling nonstop.
Ashton Hall has seen better days. With a cheating ex behind her, she's trying to forget about him and move on. Without wanting to, she takes her friends advice and goes out and maybe have a little fun. As the night wears down she makes her way to the bathroom when she bumps into someone. Instantly, sparks fly and they share a kiss in a dark hallway. Just when Ashton thinks her night might turn into success, Mr. Blond disappears and she's left just as the night started, alone. Little does Ashton know is she'll be seeing her mysterious beau again.
Jax Roland is a home improvement star. He's back in his home state of South Carolina to help a homeowner renovate her old house. When he knocks on her door he doesn't expect to come face to face with the woman he left high and dry the night before. He's stunned and surprised to say the least, and he wants to explain what happened. But it's going to take more than his good looks to get on Ashton's good side.
Ashton and Jax gave me all the butterflies. Their sexual tension was evident and I couldn't wait until they gave in to what they started that night at the bar. And their banter was just as good. My-oh-my they each brought it and it was so entertaining. And I can't even begin with the laughs, geez Ash and Jax had me cackling so much. I couldn't get enough and just wanted more from these two.
The Right Stud hammered it's way as one of my go to rom-coms. An enjoyable read filled with endless amounts of laughs and likeable characters. From Mrs. C and her quick wit and her feathery friend Rufus. And a four legged goat that goes by the name of Jean Claude Van Ram. This book made my little heart happy. And I hope we get more from Lulu and Ben because I need to know more about them! *wink wink*

Oh my gosh, this book was amazing!
ARC received in exchange for an honest review
I just wanna put this out there, the past couple books I’ve read have all been about home renovations, that’s insanely awesome, I love the idea of fixing a home that’s broken and making it into some thing beautiful again. Even though these books all been about renovating homes they’re all so different. The Right Stud was incredible, I have so much love for this book. It was the right amount of perfect for me and I’m so sad that it’s over.
Ok, so on to the review...
I went into this book without knowing what it was about (well maybe a little as I read the blurb) and that’s the way I like it, I love the surprise, I love feeling all the emotions when something unexpected happens and it leaves you with an insane amount of feels, that’s exactly what The Right Stud does for you. It surprise you, it captivated you and leaves you wanting more. It’s a beautiful, emotional and amazing read that I managed to devour in hours.
Jax and Ash are the kind of characters that’ll stick with you for a long time. Their story is absolutely beautiful and extremely emotional. I thought my heart was about to shatter at one point but these two amazing authors fixed that. I’m so so so glad they did. Jax is an intriguing character. He doesn’t do relationships or commitment. He has absolutely no idea what he’s in for when he meets the bombshell at the bar. Ash is beautiful and a grieving character that’s in love with a place that’s taking her money quickly. The emotions she feels towards her home hit you so hard. She doesn’t realise that one email she sends about her home will change life as she knows it and boy does it.
Oh and I can’t forget two of the funniest characters, Jean Claude, oh my gosh! I couldn’t help but laugh so hard at him and Rufus, sweet baby Jesus he’s awesome, seriously, my faves.
The storyline to this book was different to what I expected when I began reading it, a good different. It was a lovely storyline with touches of sadness, gotta love some sadness in a book.
Ilsa and Tia did an amazing job on this book. I definitely need to read more of both of their works.

This story was sweet and funny with the perfect amount of angst. I loved the characters and they had chemistry from their first meet. Their story was fun, the build up, the bonding I just loved it all. But Jax being a typical dumb man made a bad choice and kept a secret. I knew it would come out and it wouldn't be pretty! Ashton had been hurt before and had her guard up, she wouldn't let it happen again.
One side character stood out for me. I have a special love for inappropriate old ladies, they are the best and Mrs. C was no exception she and her equally inappropriate parrot cracked me up!!
Tia and Isla are a flawless author team their stories have been great and I hope to see more from them.

I’ll sometimes describe a book as laugh-out-loud funny, but I often use the term figuratively because I rarely actually laugh out loud. But when I say The Right Stud is laugh-out-loud funny, I mean that literally. I found myself, sometimes embarrassingly so, giggling non-stop with sudden outbursts of loud barks of laughter while reading this hilarious, swoony love story, and it is an absolutely sublime romantic comedy.
Jax and Ashton are a brilliant match. They have an intense, fiery chemistry but also a natural and easy dynamic, and their romance develops at the perfect pace and is utterly sigh-worthy. Their love story is complemented flawlessly by the memorable and hilarious secondary characters, including a precocious goat named Jean Claude von Ram, and I was grinning from the beginning to the end. I hope Ilsa Madden-Mills and Tia Louise continue to work together, because they’re a fantastic team, and The Right Stud is a sexy, feel-good and seriously laugh-out-loud, funny romance that you do not want to miss.

The Right Stud is such an awesome read. I absolutely fell in love with Jax and Ashton. I have read over 500 books and this one is unique and left me wanting more. I laughed throughout the book. The characters will grab your attention and the plot will suck you in. And can i just say Jean Claude Van Ram and Mrs. C. Omg the stuff that comes out of their mouths is spectacular. You cannot go wrong with picking up this book. Once i picked it up i was not able to put it down. Such a great 5 star read.

4. 75 stars!
Jax and Ashton set fire to the pages of The Right Stud. Their chemistry is intense as the first chapter reveals and doesn't let up throughout the book.
I loved how the story wove in passion, humor, and emotion into this fantastic story I found hard to put down. I loved just about everyone in this book. I'm seriously hoping Lulu and Ben get a book, or novella. Heck, I'd love to see how they hooked up.
Tia Louise and Ilsa Madden-Mills once again prove they can mesh their writing styles and deliver something amazing.

I want to reiterate like many people say here on Goodreads, a 3 star rating isn't bad.
With that being said, this was a super cute, quick romance. I do wish there was a bigger build up between the relationship because they essentially start hooking up immediately. I love the setting, would actually be a great summer read. Plus, odd to say but all the animals in this book were so dang funny.

Funny, smart, sassy, and oh yeah, studly. :) I love this story, but I love the characters more. There are a couple of side 'characters' that steal the show. A bird named Rufus and a goat, err I mean ram, names Jean Claude. They will keep you in stitches. It has plenty of humor. The story is pretty light, but there are a couple of more emotional scenes. (And a couple scenes that make you wanna punch someone in the face.) The sexual content is not too graphic or detailed, but it's not a clean read either. The book is well written and flows well while alternating between POV's. It reads quickly and easily.

The Right Stud is a sexy and laugh-out-loud romantic comedy. I had a smile on my face the entire time. Everything from the characters to the stories is nothing but pure sexy entertaining goodness.
These characters are pure enjoyment, and their chemistry and banter is top notch. Not only are their interactions enjoyable outside of the bedroom but it sizzles in the bedroom. I found myself enamored with these two as a couple.
What ups the ante, though, is that the entire cast of characters is phenomenal. The comedic timing, the insane hilarity that had me laughing out loud is just pure enjoyment.
The plot of this story is pretty clear from the opening chapters, and it doesn't deviate from the scripted trope story-line. The conflict is expected and the resolution is quick. Even with the evident plot structure, I still thoroughly enjoyed The Right Stud. The cast of characters and dialogue are enough to keep readers entertained.
If you are looking for a light, quick, fun and steamy read, then The Right Stud is the book you should be reading. It is laugh out loud romantic goodness.

OMG I was laughing throughout this book. Mrs. C you just gotta love her. And Jax, how Ilsa and Tia described him is exactly what you see on the cover. Love this Rom-com, it had you laughing, crying and hot throughout the book.
