She is, by far, my favorite author. I purchased this book over a year ago, and I have put off reading it all this time because of the general subject matter I read about in the synopsis. I bought her new book, Luna And The Lie, the day it came out and read it so quick and loved it so much, I decided to risk reading Lingus. I wish I hadn't read it, honestly. This book was THE most vulgar, raunchy, and crass book I've probably ever read, but definitely the worst that MZ has ever written in my opinion. The sheer amount of religious-themed obscenities and vulgar descriptions of genitalia was frankly offensive. I stopped reading this book 3 or 4 times, only to convince myself that it had to have some redeeming qualities because all of MZ's other books have been SO amazing. About halfway through the book, it did get slightly better and the ending was definitely good, which are the only reasons I didn't rate this with 1 star. I actually wondered (on more than one occasion) if someone else actually wrote this book or something; it was SO unlike her other books, and not in a good way. As sad as it makes me to say this about a book by MZ, I would NOT recommend this book to anyone. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Cute Read Drowning in Toilet Humor *by B***C on Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2016* The idea of a porn star and an elementary teacher having a romance is a novel idea. Unfortunately, the author doesn't take advantage of the situation by coming up with a more complex plot. Everything is made too easy. Our hero has a trust fund. There is inadequate explanation about why he got into and stayed with porn. He is also a lawyer. There is little thought, other than washable hair dye, on his legal career. Oddly, when he decides to quit the biz and attends his last convention, the idea seems to be that there is no more risk -- as if the dvds and online videos will just disappear.Like all Zapata's heroines, 25 year old Kat is very immature. The dialogue, her inability to understand relationship clues --even something as simple as someone holding out his hand, are reminiscent of someone at least a decade younger.Just as some authors sanitize MC clubs, here Zapata shows us how sweet porn actors all are and gives an example of a med student, not involved with the adult film industry, who has slept with close to 200 different women in three years. The only possible reason to include this character is to make the other characters more acceptable. Same for the teacher having her own sex tape.The ultimate irritant, though, is the constant references to bodily functions. How many romance heroines end up with major menstrual stains on their garments? Zapata has at least two as in happend in this book and Rhthym. I just don't understand the need to fill adult books with this:"Zoey liked to send me pictures of her turds when they were "special ones," as she called them." In Rhythm, the heroine's twin love to leave toilet presents for her. Who does this?? WHY does this pass for humor in a romance novel."C'mon, I'll show you where it's at before you pee on yourself.""What the hell took so long? You get diarrhea again?""Oooh, I hate it when I get the runs in public places," Zoey winced."I pointed at the puppy's crotch. "He f@rted!"" Yeah and I just threw up in my mouth. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An unusual New Adult romance with a hero who is a porn star *by K***Y on Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2017* Katherine Berger (Kat) is a 25-year-old kindergarten teacher who lives in Miami. Tristan King is a 29-year-old man who is serving as an intern at a family law firm until he passes the bar. The firm is right down the street from the school where Kat works, but they have not previously run into each other until the day they meet at a porn convention in Miami that she's been dragged to by her two best girlfriends.When Kat meets an extremely handsome, but quite friendly and non-threatening, young man at the porn convention who says his name is Tristan, she is delighted that he seems to have in common with her an offbeat sense of humor. She has high hopes that he will ask her out until, later that same day, she is greatly shocked to discover that Tristan is, and has been for several years, a porn-film star with the provocative stage name, "Robby Lingus."This romance novel is extremely unusual for the genre. In addition to the hero being a porn star, one of Kat's two best friends is also a porn star, and her other female best friend, a loudly, proudly, sexually liberated woman, falls madly in love with yet another porn star, who happens to be Tristan's best friend since childhood.Interestingly enough, like all of this author's romance novels that I have read so far, the hero and heroine don't actually kiss, let alone have sex, until almost the end of the book. So in spite of all the racy talk and off-color language that abounds throughout this novel, the central plot, the romance, involves a "slow burn" development of a close friendship between Kat and Tristan before the two friends finally become lovers. In spite of his unconventional career, the hero is a sweet, metrosexual male. In other words, though his porn career might lead one to believe he is going to be portrayed as the familiar romance-novel "bad boy" AKA "alpha" hero, who normally tends to be an abrasive, moody, control freak, that is definitely not the case. That's a unique twist that adds to the generally light tone of this novel.This book is, for the most part, a romantic comedy. There is cute banter between Kat and Tristan, and quite a bit of nutty antics on the part of Kat's quirky friends.I rate this book as follows:Heroine: 3 starsHero: 4 starsSubcharacters: 3 starsRomance plot: 4 starsWriting: 4 starsOverall: 3.5 rounded to 4 stars --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/107224683-lingus](https://www.desertcart.is/products/107224683-lingus) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
