Recommendation
Wallbanger is back! Simon and Caroline are mad-in-love for one another, and they can’t keep their hands off of one another. And really, who can blame a girl when her man is a Jensen Ackles-look-a-like with a 6-pack and that stomach “V”?
In Rusty Nailed, Alice Clayton gives us the look ahead into Simon and Caroline’s life together and how they progress in their relationship. There’s a few bits of Clive, a bit of Mimi and Ryan, and a bit of Neil and Sophia, but overall, most of what we’re treated to are the sexy times and life changes of Wallbanger and his Nightie Girl.
If you’re a fan of reading about a couple’s relationship continuation without a whole lot of drama, you’ll love Rusty Nailed!

Alice Clayton brings her wit to Rusty Nailed. Wallbanger and Nightie Girl’s relationship is moving to the next level and maybe moving to Sausalito. In Rusty Nailed, you’ll find a fun visit with some old favorites and a little bit of insights into the other couples of the Cocktail Series
~ Nelle [June 2014]
Another winner from Alice Clayton!! Rusty Nailed was the perfect continuation of Simon and Caroline’s story. It showed them growing together as a couple without a bunch of unnecessary drama. It was funny and really sexy. We got glimpses of their friends and even Caroline’s O-stealing ex made a brief appearance. I wish there was more Clive, but in the end, he totally stole the show.

Publisher synopsis
In this sequel to Wallbanger, fan favorites Caroline Reynolds and Simon Parker negotiate the rollercoaster of their new relationship while house-sitting in Sausalito.
Playing house was never so much fun—or so confusing. With her boss on an extended honeymoon, Caroline’s working crazy-long hours to keep the interior design company running—especially since she’s also the lead designer for the renovation of a gorgeous old hotel. And with Simon, her hotshot photographer boyfriend, gallivanting all over the world for his job, the couple is heavy-duty into "absence makes the heart grow fonder" mode. No complaints about the great reunion sex, though!
Then a trip back east to his childhood home has Simon questioning his nomadic lifestyle. He decides to be home more. A lot more. And he wants Caroline home more, too. Though their friends’ romantic lives provide plenty of welcome distraction, eventually Caroline and Simon have to sort out their relationship. Sure, more togetherness is a good thing—but does less traveling and working have to mean the other extreme? Apple pie and picket fences? With this second book in the Cocktail series, USA TODAY bestselling author Alice Clayton delivers another delicious, frothy confection of a book, shaking up her characters, stirring in laugh-out-loud humor, and serving sizzling romance straight up!
