Type: Contemporary Romance, Book 1, Duet, Small town boy meets big city girl, Why can't I meet a hot guy over text?
My Review: You know I love myself some bad boys - but I'm starting to think I need to move on to the Good Men. First I'm going to start with what I thought this book did incredibly right, and I'd love to see more of - Logan cleaned up his act all on his own - it wasn't because he met some woman with the magical touch that helped him become a better man. I'd love, love, love to see more authors do this. Another great example, for any interested, is Too Hot To Handle by Tessa Bailey - which is another of my all-time favorites, just like this is starting to be. Logan was a trouble-maker when he was younger, but he matured right the heck up.
Of course, that doesn't mean he doesn't have his naughty moments. I'll be honest with you, my glasses fogged up a time or two. Logan might be a Real Good Man, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know how to sweet talk a woman - and by that, I mean his dirty talk had me blushing, in all the right ways. And while the dirty talk steals the show, his banter with Banner is just as fun. Banner can hold her own, not only again Logan, but when talking back to the smart-@$$es around her.
In all seriousness, I loved this book. If it wasn't for the fact that I had to get to bed so I could actually be awake and alert for work the next morning, I would have started it all over again the second I finished it. It was exactly what I needed and wanted - a fun, funny, hot contemporary romance that had me instantly adding Logan to my book-boyfriends list, and Banner to my best-friends-wishlist. I absolutely cannot wait for the second book so I can find out how their story is going to end.
Cover Lovin': Excuse me while I fan myself.
Recommendation: You'll be desperate for book 2! So get ready to one-click as soon as you finish Real Good Man. And a note: characters from other books/series by Meghan March are mentioned in RGM, but if you don't know them, no worries!
Final Rating: FIVE out of FIVE stars (5/5)!!! I could not put this down. It had me laughing out loud, and squirming in my seat.
Happy Reading!

Finally, fifteen minutes after we said we’d meet, Logan Brantley walks into the tapas bar. Every curse word known to woman—and several I make up on the fly—flash through my brain. This isn’t fair. Logan Brantley is even sexier when he’s not dressed in camo and carrying a big gun. More than one head swings in his direction. Women flip their hair and uncross and re-cross their legs as he steps up to the hostess stand. A shaft of possessiveness lights up inside me, right along with nervous energy and my pounding heart. Back off, bitches. He’s not here for you. I hear the low rumble of his deep drawl when he speaks to the hostess. She gestures in my direction, and he turns. Piercing blue eyes find me at the table where a lone water glass sits in front of me. Liquid courage should definitely have been on the menu. Why didn’t I order a drink? Because I’m an idiot. Because I thought I could handle this. Now my heart is hammering so loud, my voice will probably be inaudible, or even worse—quaver when I speak. Logan walks toward me with long, sure strides. He’s taller than I realized. And broader. And bigger. Everywhere. He’s wearing a black Henley that stretches across his chest, leaving no doubt of the fact that the man is built. And his jeans. Jesus. They’re worn and snug in all the right places. The picture I found was clearly not recent, and it’s not just the fact that his brown hair is longer and shaggier. He’s one of those men who age well. Logan stops in front of me when he reaches the tall bar table. He says nothing as his gaze drops to the toes of my boots and drags up every inch of my body. “You’re a hard woman to find.”
Meghan March has been known to wear camo face paint and tromp around in woods wearing mud-covered boots, all while sporting a perfect manicure. She's also impulsive, easily entertained, and absolutely unapologetic about the fact that she loves to read and write smut. Her past lives include slinging auto parts, selling lingerie, making custom jewelry, and practicing corporate law. Writing books about dirty talking alpha males and the strong, sassy women who bring them to their knees is by far the most fabulous job she's ever had. She loves hearing from her readers at meghanmarchbooks@gmail.com.
