Synopsis
Readers back for a third
round of the bestselling Cocktail series will enjoy a madcap romantic
comedy about bodice ripping and chest heaving, fiery passion and love
everlasting. Plus a dash of paperwork filing and horseshi—wait, what?
By day, Viv Franklin designs software programs. By night, Vivian’s a secret romance-novel junkie who longs for a knight in shining armor, or a cowboy on a wild stallion, or a strapping firefighter to sweep her off her feet. And she gets to wear the bodice—don’t forget the bodice.
When a phone call brings news that she’s inherited a beautiful old home in Mendocino, California from a long-forgotten aunt, she moves her entire life across the country to embark on what she sees as a great, romance-novel-worthy adventure. But romance novels always have a twist, don’t they?
There’s a cowboy, one that ignites her loins. Because Cowboy Hank is totally loin-ignition worthy. But there’s also a librarian, Clark Barrow. And he calls her Vivian. Can tweed jackets and elbow patches compete with chaps and spurs? You bet your sweet cow pie.
In Screwdrivered, Alice Clayton pits Superman against Clark in a hilarious and hot battle that delights a swooning Viv/Vivian.
Also within this book, an answer to the question of the ages: Why ride a cowboy when you can ride a librarian?

Review
This is the third book in the series and by far the best yet.
It is about our Vivian who is a woman unto herself like no other. Strong, independent, fun, loving, and as an ex military who can take you out quickly if necessary. She has recently inherited a house from an aunt and decides she will move to the West Coast where the house is located and get away from her mother who is on a mission to marry her off, and some of the men she chooses, most of them boring and not what Vivian wants.
Once getting to the house Vivian finds herself in her own personal romance novel where she is attracted to two men. She's attracted to Hank, a cowboy who's built like every woman's dream. But then there's also Clark who is equally handsome, but in a nerdy librarian kind of way. She decides that maybe she should go with the flow and see where her heart leads her.
People, I am here to tell you that you will laugh until your sides hurt when she starts her shenanigans with the men. I laughed and laughed, understanding clearly why Alice is so incredibly good at writing these types of books. The heroine is a complete hoot and someone a regular girl can relate to.
Vivian finally has to figure out who the hero of her own romance novel will be, and I believe the reader will be very happy with her decision. On a side note, the sex scenes on the book where hot, so be prepare to rejoice with every one of them.
I give this one book a solid 4.5 stars and recommend it to everyone who enjoys Alice Clayton books.
