~**~ Blog Tour for THE DAY THE JERK STARTED FALLING (The Jerk Duet #2) by Max Monroe w/ Excerpt & Review ~**~
Rule number one: don’t fall for your best friend’s brother.
Rule number two: don’t fall for jerks.
But rules go out the window the day the jerk starts falling...
My name is Oliver Arsen, but my mates call me Ollie.
I live hard and love harder, and it’s love that usually gets me in the most trouble.
According to the greater population, I’m the ultimate jerk.
My affection tends to be short-lived—a quality I’ve been assured multiple times by the fairer sex isn’t becoming—and the leaving part of loving and leaving has always come natural.
At least, it used to.
Until her.
Luciana Wright.
She’s an American bombshell and my sister’s best friend—a woman so wrong forme, it’s written in the waves.
And she’s the reason we’re all here.
The reason I have to go back to explain how it all went wrong.
To the day the jerk started falling.

Podcast Series: The Day the Jerk Started Falling with Oliver Arsen
Dating is easy, mates. The women are plentiful, the opportunities abundant, and the fun endless.
I’ve taken a woman night surfing—only to end up using the board and the motion of the water for another purpose—jetted over to New Zealand for a two-day holiday with another, and given more than one a fair tour of my bedroom.
No effort overspent, I enjoyed every moment of it.
I live hard and love harder, but it’s the second one that usually gets me in the most trouble. My affection tends to be short-lived—a quality I’ve been assured multiple times by the fairer sex isn’t becoming.
Basically, according to the greater population, I’m the ultimate jerk.
And if you grouped the lot of my past conquests together and set me ablaze, not one of them would piss on me to save my life.
Taking the next step, having a long-term relationship, has never been my forte.
Commitment is hard. The thought of a one-woman wank for the rest of my life has barely ever been conceivable, let alone possible, and I have to blame that for how badly it all went.
When I look back at my behavior, there has to be a reason.
A reason, friends, that when it came to Luciana Wright, I fucked it all up.
I’ve been cursed out, stomped on, slapped. Had my balls volleyed, spat on, and punched. And even, on one occasion, nearly run over by a car with a madwoman behind the wheel.
But I’ve never been through the brutal torture of love.
Until Lucky.
She’s an American bombshell and my sister’s best friend—a woman so wrong forme, it should be written in the waves.
And she’s the reason we’re all here.
The exact reason why I strong-armed the lovely, albeit slightly hard-ass, editor of this fantastic website to let an Aussie bloke like me prattle on about his love woes.
[chuckles]
Vanessa, if you’re listening, I’m certain your balls are bigger than just about every man out there. And trust me, that is a compliment.
[chuckles again]
Also, thank you for your hospitality via podcast permission. It is much appreciated.
And you, dear listeners, you should know that for the next God only knows how many episodes of this podcast series, I’m going to spend my time talking directly to Lucky. If you’re not her, but you’d like to keep listening, I urge you to help me. Help me by hearing me out. Help me by relating to my story. Help me plead my case. And to really prepare yourself to get the whole tale from both sides, listen to her podcast first.
[distinct pause]
I had you in my grasp, Lucky, but now it’s fallen apart.
And in order to explain how it happened—to explain myself—I feel like I have to go back to the day it all began.
To the day the jerk started falling.

That was just what the doctor ordered!
Seriously the swoons, and the eye rolling (need to be absolutely honest here), were real as we got Ollie’s POV on all that went down and then some. And let me tell you, the “and then some” was awesome and had my heart all kinds of twitterpatted throughout the book.
I’m going to keep this review on the short and sweet side because everything I said in my review of The Day I Stopped Falling For Jerks applies here. What I will add on to that is the fact that while Ollie is still a jerk, I fell harder for the man as he laid everything out there. He did certain things he probably shouldn’t have, but everything he did ended up taking him one step closer to where he was always meant to be.
As for Ollie and Lucky’s HEA? Let’s just say everything that they went through would only happen to them and exactly how it was alway meant to be *BSEG*
This was a great duet overall and I loved how the authors chose to tell Lucky and Ollie’s story because it truly gave me all the feels - the good, the bad and the ugly - thankfully there was a lot more good than anything else. The downside (not really though) to this is that I now need to get my hands on the other books by the authors and make to read them all...hopefully I’ll work it out. But outside of all that the only thing left for me to say is that I really, really, REALLY hope Jordy gets his own HEA in future because he really deserves it!
