I honestly
don’t know what I was expecting from this one. I knew I was going to love it
and I knew I was going to laugh out loud but I think I kinda thought it was
going to be something along the lines of forbidden brother’s best friend and be
a little new adult angsty with humour or see I still don’t even know.
Obviously
with the combination of Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy it’s going to be awesome so
I guess it didn’t really matter what I thought I was going to get so much as
the fact that it was a complete no brainer that I was going to love it. So here
I was on a stormy, overcast summer day with a little free time and the kids all
distracted when I figured I could sneak off and dive in. Luckily for me the
stars aligned and I was completely forgotten by the boys. Not that it would
have mattered as since I picked it up I couldn’t have put it down short of
major blood loss or dismemberment.
Jessica was
such a relatable character, I felt like we could have been besties from the
start. She didn’t have all the answers and she was maybe lacking in a little
self-esteem but she wasn’t whiny or insecure about it she just got on with
things and lived her life. I really liked her and I loved her family. I had no
idea this was a spin-off of sorts from Him so I now have to add that to the
mountain and read it ASAP.
Blake had my
attention from the beginning but there were a few things I wasn’t sure about
but then I got over them pretty quickly. Without giving anything away I will
just say that I am a huge fan of alphas who upon seeing the girl go balls to
the wall to claim her and don’t think about another woman from the first
meeting. And that wasn’t the case here. There was a period of time between
their one night stand and them meeting up again where Blake wasn’t celibate but
it was pretty much a non-issue and was glossed over and wasn’t part of the
story. Just after they first reunited I was worried he might continue with the
man whore ways. Thankfully it wasn’t like that at all and I didn’t think about
it for more than a second but I know it might be an issue for some readers.
“At any rate, I’ve got this boyfriend thing down. Turns out it’s like riding a bike. But the bike is a hot blonde with big brown eyes and perfect tits. And I’m a really good rider.”
These two
together had such great chemistry and their dialogue was laugh out loud funny
and made me feel a real connection to them as a couple. I can’t wait for the
next installment in the series but in the mean time I am off to one click Him.
