Where have you been Lauren? WHEEERRRREEE?!īALL PEEN HAMMER is the story of one of Seattle's best male strippers, Keane "Peenie" Morgan and the timid yet very smart Maddy Milliken. I'm ashamed to call myself bookish for not knowing Lauren Rowe before BPH. Okay, so this is my first ever Lauren Rowe read (already said that hahaha) and I think it's one of the biggest regrets I have in my reading life. OMG! I think I lost my brain somewhere here in my house because of too much laughing! “Life is rarely about what you think-it's almost always about what you feel.”īefore anything else, I wanna let y'all know that this is my first Lauren Rowe read and I'm just speechless! Maybe because as I'm writing this review I feel too gassy? My stomach is aching because of laughing too hard and I just can't gather my thoughts. If you're looking for a funny friends to lovers romance that will make you laugh till you cry, and is swoony, steamy, sweet, and all around a good time- pick up Ball Peen Hammer such talent! I will for sure read all of Rowe's books in audio format- especially the ones she narrates!
How this woman can write this epically AND narrate a book like this. I listened to the audio book and I know I'm probably sounding like a broken record at this point but John Lane and Lauren Rowe killed it with the narration. Although we didn't get quite as much of the Morgan family as we did in the first two books, it was still great to see them all. I feel like Zander is an honorary Morgan brother by this point and he and Keane together were just the best! I'm so glad his book is next. My favorite thing about this (aside from Keane Morgan and the romance of course) is the friendship between Keane and Zander. They are an unlikely pair but really perfect for one another. Maddy loves Keane's larger than life personalty and even helps him with his SM/career. He knows with his job it can make things complicated. He doesn't want to hurt anyone which is why he never seriously gets with anyone. Keane, like all the Morgan's has a big heart and really is a softy. He falls hard and he doesn't know what to do about it. Keane, who never does relationships starts to fall for Maddy. He and Maddy become fast friends after they get over their texting snafu and the unthinkable happens. Keane is a stripper and he's the most hilarious person ever. Maddy is giving Keane a ride to LA- her sister and Keane's brother are neighbors, and she did not expect Keane Morgan. Keane and Maddy's first interaction is through text and it's a bit of a mess. Keane Morgan is the Morgan brother I was most excited to read about and his story did not disappoint. He’s Daffy Duck trapped inside Prince Charming’s body. It was the most hilarious and adorable book I've read in so long and had so much heart. honestly there was nothing I didn't love about it. As much as I love funny books and rom-coms, it can be hard for them to hit all of my five star love buttons. This is my fourth book by Lauren Rowe and they just keep getting better and better! I'm loving devouring her back-list and I can see her quickly becoming a new favorite of mine! Ball Peen Hammer is a book I thought I'd love but honestly I didn't expect it to be a five star read for me.
BALL PEEN HAMMER SERIES
However, if you do not mind skipping around in time a bit, you can start with any of the Morgan Brothers books, despite series numbering, and fully enjoy it! Recommended reading order is to start with HERO or CAPTAIN, as book 1, despite series numbering, because both books run on same timeline, alongside each other, and their events happen first in chronology.
NOTE: The Morgan Brothers are a series of five interconnected standalones. Well, until Keane convinced me to fall for him, that is. Yup, the jerk turned out to be Seattle’s answer to Magic Mike, a stripper known as “Ball Peen Hammer”-which meant Keane Morgan was emphatically not the kind of guy I’d ever fall for. And, honestly, what kind of guy uses the phrase “baby doll” with a straight face? Oh, that’s right: the kind of guy who’s a male stripper. But did he have to be so damned in love with himself? I mean, jeez, the arrogant way he flashed those dimples was just so orchestrated. Okay, so it turned out Keane was objectively gorgeous, and, fine, pretty funny, too. with the guy any more than he wanted to drive with me, but I had no frickin’ choice in the matter-at least, not if I wanted to use his brother's coveted parking spot at UCLA. I didn’t want to drive from Seattle to L.A. Keane Morgan wouldn’t return any of my calls or texts, and I was pissed as hell about it.
