***4.5 'Shamrock & Bunny Fu' Stars***
The blurb is what caught my interest and had me taking a chance on it, because who doesn’t love seeing the geeky, adorkable character get their happily ever after? And while there were a few things that didn’t quite hit the mark for me, Jaxson, Tyler and their journey to their HEA was practically perfect! There are a lot of humorous moments, of all degrees, but there is also a whole lot of heart in the mix that made it difficult to put down and kept a dopey smile on my face until the very end.
Jaxson really is seriously all kinds of adorkable and is very comfortable in his own skin, especially with the way his family is ~ they would have the Devil looking for a place to hide when they get going. He has his insecurities tend to mess with his head, but his sense of humor, quick wit and heart make it difficult to not fall for him.
Tyler, for lack of a better description, is simply a really good guy. It may make him sound boring, but it’s the most apt and precise way to describe him. He loves his family, his job and is conscientious of how his actions may affect others. He’s sweet and charismatic with a great sense of humor and loads of patience.
The incident that brings about Jaxson and Tyler’s first collision is nothing short of painful. When I realized what was going to happen I cringed because even I know the in’s and out’s of what one is supposed to do with THAT. But after that I absolutely loved watching as Jax and Tyler got to know each other and became more. It was endearing, sweet, funny and smexy as they dealt with the various obstacles in their way and became stronger because of it.
This is my first read by the author and I really enjoyed it. The writing was engaging and flowed well throughout and the dual 1st person POV was done very well. And for the most part I loved the supporting cast of characters, some more than others, but they all made the story come alive.
My only issue, one that I waffled over for quite some time as to if it should affect my rating ~ which as you can see I did include to make this review as honest as possible ~ was that I didn’t find all the comedic parts funny. Some made me cringe and speed read through them and I’d put it at an almost 50/50 split on my reactions. This is very much a “It’s not you, it’s me” situation, what we find funny is a personal and sometimes minute to minute thing, and I know that some will be blowing snot bubbles because they find everything funny, some will be like me and others just won’t be into it. But what kept me turning the pages was Jax and Tyler and their journey, so I focused on them and it was more than worth it in the end!

Jaxson Dane is harboring a secret.
Not the fact that he’s a geeky comic book lover, or that he secretly draws his own comic, Bunny Fu Ninja Warrior. It’s not even classified information that he’s out and proud!
His secret is the shame that he’s a twenty-three-year-old virgin.
Jaxson isn’t waiting for marriage or even afraid of taking that step, he just hasn’t found the one guy who will accept all of his adorkable qualities. Due to an unfortunate mishap with a self-pleasuring apparatus and his favorite appendage, Jaxson meets Tyler Mason. The emerald-green-eyed nurse is a witness to the mortifying incident, leaving Jaxon both grateful and disappointed in their one-time meeting.
And then Tyler somehow shows up at Jaxon’s family dinner.
The very dinner at which Jaxson’s hidden virginity is revealed to everyone, including the captivating nurse.
Even though he secretly found the ER situation hilarious, Tyler is also able to look past it to see Jaxson’s genuine nature and is drawn to the charming and hapless comic book artist. He’s tempted to pursue the inexperienced Jaxson, but a recent and life-altering decision puts a damper on his wants and desires. However, the more time they spent together, the more willing he is to take the risk of juggling his new commitments and winning Jaxon’s affections.
A large, insane, and meddlesome family, two prying co-workers, and a sexy nurse are all trying to give Jaxson a crash course in Sex Ed. Will he pass?
