Fix Her Up (Hot & Hammered, #1)

"Look at me while I'm teaching you how to fuck" is when I quit this book.
This book is run amuck with misogyny, like to the point where I'm convinced it had to have been ghost written by a man.
The main female character is Georgie, a woman defined by her virginity, her clown career, and her unexplained crush on her brother's bestie Travis.
Travis is a well known womanizer and retired baseball player, also known as "two bats" because his dick is also a bat I guess, which must explain the many, many times the author tells you it's getting hard. I kid you not, if I had a dollar for every time Travis gets an erection I could buy a couple copies of this book.
Georgie frequently complains about people not taking her seriously or treating her like an adult and 'business woman' but she's a freaking clown for a living. She doesn't mind Travis calling her baby girl though, which is literally the most infantilizing nickname a man could call a woman. Travis sometimes realizes Georgie is a person with feelings but mostly he sees her as a sexual object and is obsessed with "breaking in" her pussy cause ya know she's a virgin. Georgie is obsessed with losing her v card to Travis because... he's hot? I guess he's super hot because women shamelessly offer themselves up to him throughout the book, in fact he's SO HOT that a man tells Travis he can sleep with his wife because he's on her 'hall pass'... Did you just throw up in your mouth? I probably should have told you to grab some water earlier, sorry about that.
I could go on and list more offenses but I'd rather stop thinking about this garbage.

hahahaha "two bats." That is the WORST sexy nickname ever. EVER.
Yikes. I heard so many youtubers rave about this. Disappointing to hear it was like this.
You are not alone! I felt much the same way. You got farther than I did!
Laughed so hard when you mentioned how many time Travis got an erection. I dont understand why female authors and readers are satisfied with a shallow character development- well he is hot - so never mind about personality.
I agree 100%!! I DNFd this book about 200 pages in because it was awful. It was so misogynistic and there was also just no storyline to it. As you said, the main character is meant to be this sort of "girl boss" character, but instead, she is literally defined by her virginity, and her clown career. There is no storyline, it's just smut upon smut.
