BLUE BALLS Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 468 ratings

USA Today bestselling author of CLAM JAM brings us yet another laugh-out-loud romantic comedy about two people who experience "setbacks" at the most inopportune times...

What happens when the universe gets in the way of your "follow through"?
BLUE BALLS
Truth: A painful condition caused by a prolonged state of sexual arousal without release.
Myth: Only affects males.


SARAH
I’m beyond frustrated with the man who’s left me high and very far from dry. Multiple times. But, somehow, even though I’m not interested in a relationship, Mr. Tall-Dark-and-Handsome keeps me coming back for more—one crazy, sexual debacle after the next.
Come hell or high water, the stars will align, and the release will be out of this world.

JACK
I’m captivated with the woman who’s left me sixty-nine shades of blue, and she's only in this for one thing. The first time, I blew it—and not in the good way—but I’m going to ensure we finally see it through. I need to put an end to this “plague” of sexual calamities and prove to Sarah that we can have more. It's time to grab the universe by the balls and show it who's boss.
It's time to grab the universe by the balls and show it who's boss.

TROPES:
Boy falls first
Orphan Found Family
Close Proximity
Will they or won't they?

    Poor Jack. The man has NO game whatsoever. He thinks he knows what women want, but the follow through is sooo bad. He was a card carrying member of the nerd pack before he met Ry and he helped transform him into the guy he is now...which is the Hot guy!! He's such a likeable guy that you really can't help wanting to smack Sarah throughout the whole book. She's stubborn and kind of a nymphomaniac. Her inner dialogue is about sex, her musings are about sex and she talks about sex. Jack wants a relationship and Sarah just wants to have fun. What ensues are situations that are both funny and emotional. Emotional because you get to see how Jack was when he was younger and funny because I will never look at a nuns habit in quite the same way. The author states at the beginning of the book that the things that happen in the book are things that have happened to her friends in real life which made it for me - hilarious! How many times have we been about to do something and been interrupted by a bunch of nuns who are stalking us? Oh, is that just me? No? If you want to read a book and laugh through the whole thing, wake your family up repeatedly until they're throwing stuff at you and calling your best friend to tell her you're buying her this book when it comes out. I have come to love RC's style and humor and this book is no exception

    After reading Clam Jam I went straight onto Blue Balls. This one I didn't love quite as much. I'd been excited for it because I'd loved Jack in Clam Jam. He's sexy, gorgeous and a really good guy. I thought he might be a bit of a player at first but he's not even close. He and Sarah are attracted to one another but every time they get down and dirty, something happens. Alarms going off, accidents that result in trips to the ER, falling asleep. You name it, it happens. It was funny the first few times but then I got bored with it. I just wanted them to get their 'happy moment' together FINALLY.
    Sarah grated on my nerves a little. She had a hot, sexy man who suffered numerous cases of 'blue balls' and yet admitted spending time with her was more important to him than just sex but she ran a mile every time he showed her any real signs of affection. Towards the end of the book I was thinking if she didn't want him, I'd take him. So again, an enjoyable read, just not as much as Clam Jam for me.

    I swear I want to jump in the book and be a fly on the wall. I haven't laughed, chuckled or shook my head thinking "really did that just happen" in such a long time with a book. Again, I just can't. HILLARIOUS!!!!

    I can't take it! The text messages between Jack and Sarah - Blue Balls - just PRICELESS!!! Every moment with them was like FATE saying nope not happening tonight let's try this instead.

    Then Sarah and her F'in inner dialogue. I could vividly picture her in her head with her arms flaying around and cocking her head from side to the side being all dramatic. Just HILLARIOUS!!!! Seriously I just can't.

    R.C. Boldt, I was totally 100% obsessed with this book and it was just what I needed every night after a stressful day at work. If I could give it more then 5 Stars I would. I thought I loved Jack and Sarah in Clam Jam but I think I truly fell in love with them in Blue Balls.

    I loved this book to pieces...just one-click it. You won't be disappointed- come in now the book is about BLUE BALLS.

    I came across RC Boldt when I first read Clam Jam. By the time I was done, I knew I had to one click pre-order Blue Balls. I'm so glad I did!!! I woke up my husband laughing as I read one night. It was such a perfect story. Jack and Sarah have been dancing around their attraction for some time. When they finally have the opportunity to act on it chaos ensues. Not just every day chaos. I'm talking crazy, hysterical chaos. I'm talking you start to feel sorry for them chaos. Their chemistry is off the charts and you are rooting for them the entire time, but WOWZERS they had obstacles! By the time I was finished with this book I had laughed, cried, cheered and swooned. All of the ingredients for an amazing story. I'm hooked on RC Boldt and I'm hoping for more books like this. ♡

    I love RC Boldts books. This one did not disappoint at all. It's quirky and an amazing laugh out loud read. If you love Clam Jam you'll love this one. Clam Jam is where you first meet Sarah and Jack. OH the antics. You start to wonder after awhile if Sarah and Jack are cursed and should just give up already. All the sexual tension wowza. Maggie and Ry and with the help of Clint couldn't help but tease Sarah and Jack through all the misfortunes that occurs causing the couple to both get blue balled multiple times. That just makes it even better. I love the chemistry and the comedy through out this book. RC has another hit on her hands. Her books just keep getting better and better. I can't wait for more to come. You need first to get Clam Jam then you need to get Blue Balls because these are books that should be read in that order. I highly recommend that everyone needs a little Blue Balls in there life.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Laugh out loud book
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 8, 2017
    Oh my what can I say about Blue Balls??
    Firstly I have never had a fit of giggles like I did on the first page and getting rudely told by a snoring hubby to shush. But anyway the rest of this book didn’t fail.

    We first met Sarah and Jack in Clam Jam with Maggie and Ryan. But now Blue Balls has all the laughter and more I mean how many times did Jack and Sarah get close?? I was like come on give the guy some slack and I admit I did feel kinda sorry for Jack at times. And the conversations with Sarah and herself oh geez some of the things said. 😂😂😂😂

    Ms Boldt has not failed with this book and you will love it. I know I did but please read Clam Jam first to get the back story.

    Sarah and Jacks story follows on from Clam Jam where you initially meet them. I thought Maggie and Ry's story was brilliant but Blue Balls is off the scales. Sarah and Jacks antics make for hilarious reading and the poor nun who keeps bumping into Sarah has really bad timing. This is one book that you will always go back to read this I can guarantee as it has everything you could ask for in a Rom Com.

    I loved this book!
    I laughed and giggled my way through it.
    Jack and Sarah had one disaster after another trying to do THE DEED, and all they ended up with was... even more frustration. Every. Single. Time.
    Hilarious!!!
    The sense of anticipation wasn't for them actually hooking up, it was for the next disaster! And the laughs didn't stop when they eventually did.
    Excellent reading!!!
