Under Her
S**A
Light reading
It isn't thebworst romance I have read, but it made me cringe too many times. I had the feeling that was written by a 17 year old girl in whattpad (and I know it isn't true, but that is the level). The main characters are quite flat, like playing only with 3 traits from the Sims (and maybe in this case, 3 seems too much sometimes). They lack depth and Maturity most part of the book.It is ok, for a trip or summer or when nothing else seems to click and you want something very light and fast. But the main character (written in first person), says something sexual 8 words out of 10. All the book. Like there is absolutely nothing else in his head. Plus, according with him, he is this God of sex, because he TELLS you all the time, but barely SHOWS it. The prototype of what a writer is told NOT to do: tell, don't show.Still, not bad bad. Just very inmature and cringy, but OK if you look for light with no development or in-depth... or you like Whattpad contemporary romances

Under Her will have you laughing out loud from the first few pages; it was absolutely HILARIOUS!
I absolutely adored this book, and from the moment I started reading it I could NOT put it down, and from the very first chapter I was hooked and enjoying every moment of reading Under Her. Told entirely in our male lead's POV, Wilder Cross is ready to take over as CEO of his family lingerie business, Under Her Lingerie, but he gets the rug pulled out from under him when his parents go behind his back and hires a co-CEO for him to work with. What makes this news even worse is that the new co-CEO is Morgan Stickford, the woman who despised him in college and didn't bother to hide her dislike of him to anyone. But when he does see her again, he can't help but notice how much she's changed since college, and even though he wants her gone so he can run the company by himself, he wants her in his bed and under him more.Under Her is an enemies-to-lovers, slow burn, forbidden, romantic comedy. Forbidden for the fact that Wilder, even though he's a complete manwh*re, doesn't date or sleep with his co-workers, and since Morgan is co-CEO, she's therefor a co-worker. Slow burn because Wilder instantly wants Morgan from the start, but since she's his co-worker, he's subjected to look and not touch. Enemies-to-lovers since Morgan "hated" him in college, and at the beginning of this book (and as the story goes on) both main characters butted heads a lot. And romantic comedy because this book was romantic, and it really was absolutely HILARIOUS!There were times throughout this story where both Morgan and Wilder did annoy me, and many times I cringed at Wilder's inner monologue; I also found the story to be a bit predictable, especially with what happened towards the end of the book, but besides all that - and those are my reasons for the four star rating - I did enjoy this book. It was a quick read, probably for the fact that the chapters were short, so I was pretty much flying through this book, but with the humour, the romance, and just everything that happened throughout Under Her... I adored it all, and I'm truly surprised by how hilarious this book is. If you're having a bad day and are looking for a book that'll have you laughing your head off and leave you smiling from ear to ear by the end of the story, then this is the book for you!

steamy yet one small fault
It’s a good read , characters relatable etc . My only criticism would be that this is the second book of hers I’ve read ( 2 week stand first) with a very similar theme, and they go on holiday where they end up together, they do and say the same things in the other book and the ending is the same.Now won’t be reading another unfortunately
F**I
Wild about Wilder...and wish I was Morgan lol!
Whoaaaaaa! This book was more than sizzling hot - it was scorching! I'm wild about Wilder who I am sure will take his place on the top book boyfriends list. He's unapologetically sexy. His arrogance levels are off the charts and his ego is the size of Chicago where he lives. Nevertheless, all these factors make him utterly adorable. You would expect such a character to make the reader screw up their face in disdain but not Wilder - he's too cute and has many redeeming factors. Admittedly, most of them revolve around his bedroom skills but hey, I'm not complaining.Under Her is an extremely graphic novel. Samantha Towle historically has never vied away from writing sexy stories, but she has definitely taken it up several notches with this one.The books charts the progress of the dynamic between Wilder and Morgan. Wilder is the heir to a mega successful lingerie company but his parents unexpectedly bring on board a co-CEO when they retire in the form of Morgan. Wilder and Morgan went to the same college but have not seen each other for several years during which time Morgan has morphed into the most beautiful and sexy woman Wilder has ever laid eyes on, and for a man who beds a different woman every weekend, this is saying something.The story of how Wilder seduces Morgan is highly amusing and utterly compelling. I loved it. I loved that the story is mostly told by Wilder and getting into his head while he tries to figure out why Morgan affects him so much was very entertaining. The sex was panty-melting - very appropriate considering that Under Her is a lingerie company.Even though this was a very light book compared with some of the author's other stories, I enjoyed it for just that. It was like a tonic to round off the summer holidays and perfectly pitched to titillate and tantalise without being too vulgar. Yup - loved it and definitely need more Wilder in my life!
