Gable (The Powers That Be, #1)

Read it. Right now. Click it, read it, love it. Then end.
Okay, okay, not really the end, but seriously, that’s what you need to know. Ya’ll know that Harper is my home-girl. (I’ve been using a lot of outdated phrasing this week. Just go with it.) She knocked it OUT OF THE PARK with Gable. Gable is hot, frustrating, smart, frustrating, hot, and frustrating. And when he’s frustrating, he’s really hot. Did I mention frustratingly hot? Yeah, that.
Overall Rating: 5 stars- Screw sleep! I’ll let the kids watch TV and eat hot dogs tomorrow.
Gable starts a new series by Harper and man, am I ready for the rest. But we’ll get to that when she writes more books. (Dear Harper, write faster.) Right now, we’ll talk about Gable.
Gable Powers is, as mentioned, smart, hot and frustrating. He is the definition of a cocky bastard. I loved how much he pissed Scout off. Because he pissed me off, too! It reminded me so much of every hot guy who was a total douchebag that I’ve ever known. I mean, obviously Gable turns it around and turns out NOT to be a douchebag, but the beginning? Be prepared to want to punch him. And ya know, do him.
As for Gable-the-book, it’s great. I love the premise of secret pen pals. It’s not the first time it’s ever been done, but the ride through it is awesome. Just when I think I’d know who knew what when, Gable-the-person would do something that left Scout and me scratching our heads. I love when a book keeps me guessing.
Now, don’t get me wrong. Scout is also a little frustrating sometimes. There were several points I wanted to say “JUST ASK.” But I also felt like her hesitance was appropriate for her age and her personality. I think Harper has a real knack for writing NA books because she just “gets” how that age group thinks. They’re flawed (okay, stupid) sometimes but you still understand them and root for them. I love it.
Gable landed Harper on the USA Today bestseller’s list for a reason. It’s awesome. It’s also under a buck, which is a flat-out steal. Don’t miss this one.
Smut Factor: 4 stars- Smokin’ Hot!
Character likability: 4 stars- I wish we were friends.
Storytelling: 5 stars- I wake up thinking this really happened.
Writing and editing quality: 5 stars - Excellent!
