ARC provided by author in exchange for an honest review



First and foremost, I am well aware of the controversy surrounding this book when the author forewarned me before she provided me with an ARC. And while I know there are some reviewers who decided to not review this book, I respect your decision. But for me, I read the book's blurb and was intrigued and wanted to read it and make up my mind. Just because a book is controversial, will it deter me from reading it and the answer is NO because there are plenty of books in the literary world that are considered controversial. And I have read some of those controversial books and there are some that I loved and enjoyed. Not everyone is gonna love the same book but for me I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed reading BLACK BALLED.



Black Balled was a fun, sarcastic, humorous, sexy parody read yet was able to portray a somewhat realistic vibe to the story line. From the prologue, I was instantly hooked and was invested in getting to know Troy and Larson. This book had a story line that I found unique, creative and witty. Andrea Smith and Eva LeNoir was able to spin and make a story of two different opposing men, who were able to find a common ground when it came to love. Though the path to finding love was not an easy task since these two had a "love/hate relationship." What I was truly amazed was that the authors did a perfect job in juxtaposing and weaving elements of banter, sex, and raw emotions of Troy and Larson. Black Balled was one of those type of books that will surprise you on how engrossing and fun the story-line is. The writing was brilliantly and wickedly done in showcasing the true personalities of the main characters.

Overall, I really enjoyed reading this book and could not put this book down. It was sexy, funny, and playful. This book was an easy read since the authors did an amazing job blending their different writing styles. The writing and story line was clean and flawlessly well-done. So if you are looking for a book to get lost in with fun-filled banter then I would recommend this book.
