I actually went into this not realizing it was a continuation of Caroline and Simon's story. I really enjoyed Wallbanger, but thought it worked as a stand alone. Still, it was nice to see how their relationship has progressed since then and what their future holds. We all want to know what happens after the couple falls in love, but often times it's not needed. However, I think Clayton was able to do this couple justice with a second book, which is difficult to accomplish at times because it can seem too much or unnecessary like certain other series I've read in the past. Rusty Nailed turned out to be just as engaging and entertaining as Wallbanger. 
 I liked that these two were able to make a long distance relationship work without any sadness or resentment. They both genuinely enjoyed their time apart as much as when they were together. It just worked for them and I appreciated that, because not a lot of couples can make it work like that. Then, things start changing. We see Caroline deal with coming up in her career, navigating all the new responsibilities and realizing her dreams of success. We also get Simon coming to terms with his past and moving forward with Caroline in a healthy and committed way. 
 It was definitely a change to see Simon around more and not taking any jobs. I could understand Caroline's hesitation about it all and what exactly was going on with their relationship, but at times, I think she was a bit too dramatic about it. Their relationship was anything but conventional, but it worked for them and they both liked it. Then Simon goes and changes the dynamic, moving things forward fairly quickly, so I could see how that would spook someone like Caroline. It was interesting to see how it all played out and wondering if they would be able to make it work. 
 Simon was definitely a great male lead. I just loved him. Not only is he amazing in bed and his and Caroline's intimate scenes were scorching, he's also a very sweet and considerate guy. I also loved seeing their friends, who added just the right amount of comical drama. 
 Rusty Nailed is a fun sequel to Wallbanger and a nice look into this couple's relationship after the "I Love You's" are said. I really enjoyed this book and Clayton's writing is fun, flirty, and engaging. If you're a Contemporary Romance fan, you'll want to add this series to your collection as soon as possible.
