This is one "Romance" novel where I could care less about the romance. Natalie stole the show, hands down, this girl is freaking amazing and easily one of my all-time favorite female characters EVER!!! Ugh, she gives me life! Seriously, Clayton created a gem of a character with Natalie and I so wish I had someone like her in my life, hell, I wish I was like her in many ways. 
 Natalie is a big girl, and proud of it. She works her curvy body and has men begging for more. She has confidence by the buttload, which is understandable since she has such a "great COMMA big ass". She does have some baggage, but this girl took the crap she was dealt and used it to motivate her to live the life she was meant to. She's one of the best in her company, probably in her field, and when she wants something, she works like hell to get it. I loved her personality through and through, and the girl is just plain hilarious. I cracked up so much in this book, especially regarding her antics with Oscar, it made me love her even more. I liked how brazen she was and how she embraced her sexuality, instead of shaming it. News flash, women can and do love sex, too, and they can and do have flings without it being a big deal. I can see some start with the *eye roll* slut-shaming, but as long as you're smart and safe about it, there's no shame. In the end, I loved her thought process and how she chose to live her life. This was truly her story and I could read books upon books of this girl's life. 
 As for the romance, because we have to discuss that a little bit, right?! It was okay. Don't get me wrong, there were plenty of sexy times, which singed the pages quite a bit here and there. Clayton doesn't hold back on that aspect. Aside from that, I didn't really connect much with Oscar and Natalie as a couple. Oscar was more of the silent, brooding type and I never felt like I got to know him very well. I also didn't like his views on Natalie's lifestyle. Yes, the people in her life weren't the best, but she's an amazing woman who worked hard to get to where she's at and I felt like he didn't appreciate it or value it as much as I wanted him to. 
 In any case, I'd recommend you read this book just for the simple fact that you need to get to know Natalie. I can't sing her praises enough, she's just plain awesome.
