Fun With Dick and Shane (Memoirs of a Houseboy, #1)

Well, that was unexpected in the best way. I'm not much into biographies. It's just not how I'm built. But I was in the midst of a book slump and a good friend recommended this little gem. I was a little hesitant because as a mom of two, I am seriously annoyed by tantrums and I knew from reviews Gilli is the young king of them. What I didn't expect was to be completely enamored by Gilli. By the 24% mark I had shed tears twice and I, too, became wrapped around Gilli's finger. As many have mentioned, his antics are absolutely hilarious. And I wanted to tape his mouth shut on so many occasions, but I think it was his honesty and insecurity that drew me in. There's something about someone else laying themselves bare that makes them irresistible to me. I know some people see books about ménage, domestic discipline, or D/b relationships and think they know exactly what it will be like. I think this book seriously breaks those stereotypes.

I was so surprised by it. It was great!
Yay! Enjoy the rest of the Gilli ride :)
If you think you've shed tears in this one, wait until you get further in the series. I echo Vivian, one of my favorite series!
Maybe not for me but your review is great. :)
YAY!!!!!!!!!! I did good in recommending it to you *pats myself on the back.* Gilli is so easy to love, huh? You HAVE to read the rest of the series the last book is really great too. I don't have anymore to lend though, sadly, I bought the others from another site.
Good job, Bree--wondering who the smart cookie was :)
