Sex in the Sticks Series: Love Hurts #1 on 2 May 2017
Valentine French may be the sassiest dating columnist in New York City, but the abundance of metrosexuals in her adopted metropolis is seriously cramping her style. Where are the beefy all-American boys? Hoping to find some inspiration, Val heads to Alaska, where the men outnumber the women fifteen to one and wrestle grizzly bears for sport. Or so she can only imagine. Suddenly the most eligible bachelorette in a town full of horny lumberjacks, Val is writing her best columns ever. But if she doesn’t get her nose out of her laptop, she just might miss out on Mr. Right.
Logan Burke is the sheriff of the little podunk town that Val finds so charmingly backward. He’s not that different from the guys she’s using for her little experiment; it’s just that one date would never be enough for Logan. As he listens to Val complain about love over beers in the local tavern, he realizes that she can’t see the forest for the trees. Because if she would ever give up her Prada bags and fourteen-dollar martinis, Logan would give her the only luxury that matters: his heart.
Welcome to my stop on the Blogtour for Sex in the Sticks!
Sex in the Sticks is funny, very hot and with cute characters.
There were several hilarious moments in Sex in the Sticks, and there were even more extremely hot moments… I found the overall story to be cute, albeit a little bit cliché with the woman from the big city going to the Alaska wilderness to find a man who wasn’t metrosexual with a better manucure than her.
Valentine and her blog made me laugh out loud more than once, especially because she had partly started her sex-blog to shock her family. Sex in the Sticks started out a bit tentative, as Val left her big city behind, only to be surprised at how quaint her new playground really was. Logan was the perfect rugged hero. The local sheriff, sweet, hunky, tall, protective – he had all the best parts of a romance hero going for him.
My feels were invested in Sex in the Sticks, even as I saw catastrophe arriving, I was hoping it wouldn’t happen and things would continue to be smooth sailing. This is definitely a series I want to continue reading, as the writing was spot-on and the dual points of view worked very well.
He drones on and on, every single word out of his mouth more self-involved than the last. I tune him out. His lips are moving but my mind is far away, wondering how I can possibly be attracting men like this?
Fifteen men to every woman? And I’m thinking big, rugged manly men who don’t give a rat’s ass about fashion or manucures, and I bet their tans are natural.

Since the release of her debut contemporary romance novel, Off Sides, in January 2013, Sawyer Bennett has released more than 30 books and has been featured on both the USA Today and New York Times bestseller lists on multiple occasions.
A reformed trial lawyer from North Carolina, Sawyer uses real life experience to create relatable, sexy stories that appeal to a wide array of readers. From new adult to erotic contemporary romance, Sawyer writes something for just about everyone.
Sawyer likes her Bloody Marys strong, her martinis dirty, and her heroes a combination of the two. When not bringing fictional romance to life, Sawyer is a chauffeur, stylist, chef, maid, and personal assistant to a very active toddler, as well as full-time servant to two adorably naughty dogs. She believes in the good of others, and that a bad day can be cured with a great work-out, cake, or a combination of the two.

I love Sawyer Bennett’s Cold Fury Hockey series so I was really tempted to grab this on one netgalley but resisted. I may try to read this at some point. The sex blog sounds like it could be really funny. Great review!
It’s a fun story, Carole, but I have to admit I prefer Sawyer’s hockey players 😉

huh, I think Valentine and I would be good friends. Logan sounds really funny though, natural tan and all
Valentine made me laugh so much! Especially when she first arrived and was shocked at how different the small town in Alaska was from NYC 😉
