Review of Good Time by Jana Aston
Payton never imagines she'll end up married to the hot guy she spied in the lobby, but somehow, in some crazy way of hers, she manages to snag the guy she'd lusted after since she first saw him. The guy who is "every inappropriate fantasy I've never had wrapped up into one package."
That he ends up being the owner of the strip club where Lydia is planning on auctioning herself off to Lydia's (and Payton's) boss, Rhys, is kismet, because Payton thought he was gorgeous as he walked through the lobby of the hotel where she and Lydia work. From the start she knew she needed to find out who he was "because I might marry him and have his babies."
After a whirlwind night with Vince, Lawson and Canon, where Payton proceeds to charm all of them with her no filter mouth, her crazy antics and her quirky but adorable self, somehow Vince and Payton end up married because Vince wanted to prevent Payton from getting a tattoo on her butt. Yep, a legiterally valid reason to get married, I think. And they think so too, and proceed to somehow get to know each other, fall in love, and find out that an elopement while drunk is really the best idea either of them has ever had. So why not stay married? After all, the odds are pretty even of their sustainability. According to Payton, "Fifty percent of marriages end in divorce, it’s not like people who get married on purpose know what they’re doing either."
Of course, things aren't that easy, but the trip these two take to their super sweet HEA is probably the most fun I've had reading in ages. I love Vince, sexy, sweet, staid Vince, but Payton is my girl. She's the one that made Good Time as far as I'm concerned. How could I not love a woman whose every thought is random and nutty, who makes Girl Trooper achievement badges for her best friend, decides her new coworker is going to be her new work husband and proceeds to tell him this, and eats Cheez-Its like they're going out of style? And that she's the opposite of Vince, who doesn't "do crazy. Ever. I do order and logic and reason and you are none of those things." is just icing on this awesome rom-com cake because Good Time is perfect. It's the perfect rom-com, with laugh out loud moments, (I legiterally laughed out loud several times while reading), it's beyond sexy, and Payton's inner and outer thoughts are just classic. She's like that adorkable chick on New Girl, but a million times better, and when paired with her opposite guy, sigh...swoony, so freaking swoony. The only thing that could make me happier right now is if I knew Jana Aston was planning on writing a story for Canon cuz Canon is as awesome as Payton!! Hint, Hint!!
