The sh#t started to hit the fan as soon as I met Jezebel.
Yeah, I know what you’re thinking - name like that should have been a big, fat red flag.
But I’m not a church-going person, you see.
Well, at least not until I met Jezebel.
Look, I’ll be dead-set straight up with you - I sleep around.
At least I used to until I met Jezebel.
You see, I was certain she could be the one who’d tame my promiscuous ways.
But as God or the universe or just plain bad luck would have it, my past caught up to just as I met her in the form of an STD.
That stands for Sexually Transmitted Disease, for those blessed to be so naive.
I won’t go into the details but it wasn’t the most attractive looking thing on the end of my… Johnson.
There was no way I could let Jezebel know, otherwise it would be game over before it's begun.
This meant I couldn’t allow my instinctual art of seduction to play out naturally.
In fact, I had to do everything possible so as to not sleep with Jezebel.
Including lying here… a lot.
So how far will I go before she learns the ugly truth?
And risk her becoming the one that got away…
Highly Flawed Individual by T.C. Roberts is well-written and funny.
Will Archie find true love?
First, I want to say that this book isn’t something that I would typically read. The author calls it “lad lit,” and I agree with him wholeheartedly. He takes a classic romantic comedy and totally flips it into a story that a guy would enjoy reading.
Archie
Our main character is Archie. He is hilarious, even though he doesn’t mean to be. Yet, his actions and opinions make people laugh as they don’t think that he is serious when he is. Archie finds himself in these crazy situations and goes with it.
I found Archie to be precisely what the title of the book states: a highly flawed individual. But he is nice, good at his job, tries to be there for his father, and has a great relationship with his boss.
Jezebel
Archie’s first love is focused on Jezebel. She is a successful MMA fighter, beautiful, a devoted Catholic, and recently out of a bad relationship. The thing is, Jezebel is a man’s woman. She embodies everything that a guy would find wonderful about a woman. I found her as flawed as Archie. In fact, at times, she fueled his crazy.
The story is wonderfully plotted and funny. The things that Archie gets into are insane. The author had a plan for the story and executed it perfectly.
Three Stars
My rating for Highly Flawed Individual by T.C. Roberts is three stars. While the story is great, I didn’t completely buy into it. However, I know I am not the designated reader, which is understandable. I genuinely hope you “lads” out there try it. I have a feeling that the right audience will adore this book.
Thank you for dropping by! I hope you enjoyed this review of Highly Flawed Individual by T.C. Roberts.
