"Baby doll" *sigh* I love that term of endearment! Hmmmm suppose I should say more...this was an adorably cute and funny and steamy book (sorry for my overuse of the same conjunction). The characters were fun and easy to picture or relate with. My only problem is that the girl on the cover does not resemble the character Mandy at all...so that threw me off when a few details of her looks would be mentioned. Thats not really important tho. Her friend Cam is hilarious and her brother Marc is...interesting (I don't love him or hate him). As for the rest of the crew (insert *sigh*) you read the summary, so just read the book! A quick and satisfying read ^.^ ( )

Judging a book by its cover has always been something I have been told not to do, but have done anyway. And in this situation I was not looking forward to this book. From reading the synopsis I had no idea what to expect in regard to the cover. The woman on the front does not look like a teenager to me, and I had some idea, from her facial expression, that she was knowingly causing a love triangle?

Assessment of cover aside, I actually got hooked while reading this book. The realism of these characters was uncanny. A typical female high school graduate vying for a spot among one of the most ‘manly’ career paths, is bound to get caught up in a love trap, accidentally.

One great aspect of the book I really enjoyed was the mystery of love. How a person can feel so strongly for two people at the same time held such a truth and sincerity that I fell for. Both men had such strong personalities with equally great and not so great aspects that even kept me on the edge of my seat.

Along with Mandy, I fell for these two. But I was always wise to the fact that she had to choose one, and how she did that made me charge through the book to figure out who, if any!

I really enjoyed the light-heartedness and romance in this novel and I would recommend it to anyone looking for some steamy men and a girl who they'd fight for. And lesson learned, don’t judge a book by the cover! ( )

I love a well "constructed" love triangle. Especially on books like this, simple " cute" reads.See more about what a "cute" read is {here}.However, after all the great reviews I read about this book, I was disappointed. Not only was Mandy confused about here feelings, but the plot was confused too. The story didn't know where it was going. It wasn't your typical "Oh, I am confused about who I love." It felt like the actions where random, not motive driven. Even though the character felt one way, she acted another. I was just very confused as to why she did most of the things she did. And while there where some original, romantic, and steamy moments, it all felt random.Still I enjoyed it, but I have read better (see below for recommendation). Will give Laurens another try with her book Magic Hands. ( )

Nailed was a fun, easy read that I enjoyed reading. Nailed wasn't a book that really wowed me though. After awhile, watching Mandy go between the two guys just got a little old to me. There's only so much you can write about a love triangle. Jennifer Laurens writing was great and kept the book flowing.

And I know covers shouldn't make a difference really, but the girl on the front looks way older than a recent high school graduate and overall, to me, it just wasn't that attractive.

I will definately be checking out other books by Jennifer Laurens! ( )
