The first half of Nuts wasn't very good. I struggled to keep reading it and wanted to DNF it several times. Luckily the book got better and more interesting somewhere around the halfway point. There were 3 or 4 points where I completely cracked up but I had really expected even more humor. Probably because other books I've read from Alice Clayton were hilarious. 
 Some things didn't quite add up or make sense and that kind of bothers me even though I take a work of fiction as just that, fiction. But seriously, the little bombshell that was dropped on Roxie, relating to Leo; how was that a secret, considering he'd lived in that town for years? How is it that no one, not Roxie's mom, friends, co-workers, or even gossiping towns folk, mentioned anything to Roxie about it? You'd think that would come up completely casually. 
 The ending was nice. It was a HFN ending which was fine. I think I would have preferred a HEA and have seen them together a bit further in the future. 
 Overall, I give Nuts 2 stars. It was an okay book. I really liked Leo's character. Roxie had good character development. The story and the writing was just lacking for me. After reading Wallbanger, Rusty Nailed, and Last Call, my expectations for Nuts were semi high. I was hoping to enjoy it as much as I did the other three books I read from Alice Clayton and it just didn't happen. I am bummed. It sounds like she was setting up the next book to be about Oscar and although I'd love to know his story, I'm not sure I will be in any hurry to read it.
