What makes it funny?
Caroline’s frustration has its own supporting character. She talks to her missing orgasm as though it were someone who might answer back. Her cat Clive gets a similarly extravagant personality.
The comedy at work
Caroline and Simon trade sexual innuendo while working their way from antagonism to friendship. Her internal conversations give the reader an additional, less composed version of what she is feeling.
Try this if…
A fit for readers who like bawdy banter and a romance that takes time to turn friendly sparring into explicit physical intimacy.
Good to know
Sexual jokes run throughout, with explicit scenes later in the romance. Nose Graze enjoyed the banter but found Caroline’s conversations with her orgasm increasingly repetitive.
