Review: One of Those Days

One Of Those Days by Zathyn Priest


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I saw this story reviewed by several of my friends on GoodReads and it was receiving such praise, I had to check it out. Much to my delight, it's not only a delicious read, it's a FREE one too.

A quick short fic that will have you laughing and squirming in your seat!

Summary: When Alex wakes up one morning, and everything starts to go wrong, he knows it’s going to be one of those days. Things get worse when his high school bully, captain of the football team and meathead extraordinaire, Ric Saunders, shows up for an appointment at the chiropractic clinic where Alex works.

Things go from bad to worse in a comedy of errors that leaves Alex's head spinning. Has Ric turned into a crazed stalker, ready to pick up the bullying where he left off eight years before? Or has Ric got something else in mind this time?

Why I loved this read: I love stories that make me laugh and get me hot-and-bothered all at once and this story does just that! Plus, you gotta love the bully-turned-lover stories! ;)

Excerpt: “I’ve got an appointment for nine. Richard Saunders.”

“A bit late?” Janet snarled. “Eight minutes late is almost ten minutes late. Ten minutes late is not a bit.”

Go Janet! Let him have it. Set free the hormonal rage!

“I tried to call. Phone battery was dead.” Ric sounded exactly the same as he did in school and it made my skin crawl. “My mother’s in hospital. I came straight from the ER. Food poisoning.”

“Oh, I see.” From meltdown to temperate, Janet calmed. “I’m sorry to hear that.”

Don’t be sorry! I tried to will my thoughts to penetrate directly into Janet’s mind. The woman gave birth to him for God’s sake. She deserves to be punished!
