Smith Wittingham, the bad-boy billionaire novelist, whisks his typist away from the cabin in Vermont. Tori's never been to Montreal before, and it's a wonderful city to go shopping and get in trouble.
After a visit to a sex shop, Tori's ready to explore new things. Smith asks if she would have sex with another man while he watches. She thinks he's just trying to provoke a reaction, because he loves making her angry, so she counters by saying yes.
"You might learn a thing or two by watching," she says. "Like how to treat a lady."
Length: Novella of 25,000 words or 100 pages
Spice Level: Erotic, some roleplaying. WARNING: Contains GROUP SEX and scenes that some readers may find offensive.
At A Glance
Worst book in the series so far, but still interesting.
The Good
This has been an odd novella series for me. I love Mimi Strong because of her weird characters and funny dialogue, but Typist #3 just got weirder. I don’t know where this series is going. Is there going to be a HEA? I hope so after all that these characters have went through. It’s been a fun journey so far, even through Smith’s doucheness and Tori’s odd reactions to Smith’s doucheness.
In the end, we are seeing more of Smith, the good and bad. Tori needs to get her big girl panties back on but I trust she will make the right decisions in the next book. She is trying really hard to make her and Smith work when he is making it impossible. I respect that even if it must be a hit on the ego.
I am excited to see what the last book has in story for this insane but adorable duo.
The Bad
This was the worst book in the romance department so far. Lots of mixed signals, no communication, and fighting. Smith was just an asshole the whole time. Then Tori lost some of her strong, independent style and became really whiney.
The Snuggly
This had the craziest sex by far. Spoiler: We are talking about a weird but hot threesome with Tori, her ex-boyfriend, and his girlfriend while Smith watched. A long sex toy shop scene where Tori gets spanked by a sex instructor. Yeah, things get crazy.
Final Thoughts
Not the best book, but it’s keeping my interest, that’s for sure. Recommended as a series.
Quotes

Mmm, as much as I love Mimi Strong’s humor and am ready to read more books by her, I don’t think this one will do it for me : douchebags and strange reactions are things that may make me want to break my e-reader, and I love it too much for that 🙂 I love the “incredible Hulk of assholes” quote !
Jennifer Bielman
LOL, at least you got a laugh out of the quote. 🙂

I have the first book and haven’t even read it. I think I got it during one of those freebies promos because I don’t remember buying it. Great review!
Jennifer Bielman
LOL, yeah, it was free for a long time.

Ugh, it looks like a lot of relationship drama…hope it all gets sorted out.
Jennifer Bielman
I know, so much drama, but it keeps my interest.
Jaclyn Canada
Ah douche and whiney do not go well together. I hope she woman’s back up in the next one. It’s great that it held your interest even though it’s been the worst one so far. Great review!
Jennifer Bielman
I did read the last one and it all worked out in the end.
Manisha
I’ve read a book by Mimi Strong and found here voice to be different. But I’ve not tried anymore and this book does sound weird. Haha, I liked your review on it. it was funny XD
Jennifer Bielman
Yeah, Mimi is only for some people. I love her brain though.

I think in my case, the bad would outweigh the good and I would be frustrated with this read. I don’t think this would be the one for me but I am glad that there was some good to it and it wasn’t all bad. 😉
Wonderful honest review!
Jennifer Bielman
Thanks! 🙂
Olivia
Whoa, this sounds like this novel does get a bit crazy! It must be a pretty good series if the worse one is still standing at the three star mark, which is good.
Jennifer Bielman
I know, I can’t help but still be obsessed no matter if it’s not great.
Braine Talk Supe
Was it at least amusing? The mixed signals, etc? I think I can take it if it felt silly.
Jennifer Bielman
It was very amusing. It’s just an odd, little, short read that will have you giggling.
Christy
That spoiler doesn’t seem too weird to me. 😉 One day I’ll give in to these.
Jennifer Bielman
LOL, then you are my kind of girl! Though, I already knew that.

I don’t think I’ve read anything by Mimi Strong and I can’t see myself picking up this novel because that cover is horrendous.
Jennifer Bielman
Yeah, not so good covers. Her Peaches Monroe series is interesting.
Alreem
sound like a good book but it is not really my type of books, happy to see you enjoyed this book 🙂
Jennifer Bielman
Thanks for stopping by.
Melliane
Oh it’s too bad for the romance there… I didn’t know about this one but I really don’t like her dress. Not sure it’s for me I confess.
Jennifer Bielman
LOL, the cover throws me off too.
Brandi Breathes Books
Intrigued by weird characters and the humor
Jennifer Bielman
Yeah, this one is very different!
