Yup
I admit it, I read it for the cover.
When
this first popped up on my gr feeds I rolled my eyes, I mean seriously how many
step sibling romances have been released this year? I mean honestly shouldn’t there be like a quota for books of a
similar theme? It feels like every other month there is an in theme and sadly
it is never whatever fad I am currently on (sure that’s probably more to do
with me being a little backwards but still seriously?)
Then
I started drooling on the cover and when my eyes unglazed I read the blurb and
figured I would dive in. I mean normally the ones I read in this theme tend to
be more on the taboo end but this one sounded interesting and a heap of people
I stalk on GR gave it pretty hot reviews so I knew it had to be good.
And
damn did I enjoy it. I think the fact they slept together before they found out
they were going to be linked through holy matrimony took the taboo right out of
it. So I was left with a hate to love story that kept me gripped and not just
cause of the smoking hot sex.
The
characters were great and I was completely absorbed by the story. Infact I
literally couldn’t put it down and when my husband dragged me kicking and
screaming to the shop so the kids wouldn’t starve to death he got a 20 minute
recap on the half of the book I had read despite him having absolutely no
interest. So I figured I would tell you all how awesome it was and hope you all
will go out and grab it and then hit me up with how much you loved it.
Anyway
I am off to check out more by this great author.
Kisses.
5 Perfect Match StarS
Wow!
Just Holy fuck, wow!!!
I read the
blurb for this book and thought it sounded different. I went into it
expecting happy, fluffy, funny different. What I got was a complete trip of
emotions.
I mean seriously this is the blurb I read:
As the story
started we are introduced to the celebrities and their plus ones totaling up to 16 people competing in a reality TV show in the idyllic Seychelles to find 8 perfect soul mates, with your normal rounds
of contests and prizes as people are matched up and sent off to dream
destinations while winning money for their favourite charities, with the prize
pool going to the final remaining soul mates charity.
Sounds easy enough. Until you meet the stars of the show.
And that’s where
all the wow’s come in. These amazing authors have created the perfect
characters to compete and not only do they make you feel incredibly vested in
these characters but they also make you laugh, cry and cheer the whole way
through.
The story is
told in first person by Harlow who enters as a plus one with her childhood
sweetheart Oakley a famous sports star who is there for some publicity and to
spend some time together. But god did I
hate Oakley. I seriously spent the first half of the book with my stomach in
knots trying to figure out how gorgeous, loving, sweet, perfect Harlow could be
with Oakley and waiting for him to do something that would upset me and tear her apart.
I couldn’t
see how these 2 characters could be together but worse I couldn’t see how the
authors could get them apart without a fuckload of angst and heartbreak. Sadly
by that stage I was already so invested in Harlow and the beautiful friends she
had made amongst the celebrities and plus ones that I had to read on even
thinking that I was going to hate the book.
I mean
seriously how can you not have massive amounts of angst drama, cheating and
heartbreak when you throw in a famous and amazingly beautiful porn star; a few
slutbag, bitchy, man eating actresses and entertainers; a heap of moralless, horny
men and a buttload of athletes; oh and a few siblings and sweethearts, then pile on the alcohol and film it.
So to say I expected to finish the book with a sour attitude and a heap of my morals screaming is an understatement.
But obviously
since I loved the book and am amazed by the absolute perfection of the authors
work you can guess it didn’t play out how I spent half the book waiting for it
to play out.
Now I am not
even gonna hint at how it did play out cause you seriously need to read it but
I am going to say to read it with a few tissues cause I laughed and cried and
sniffled like a toddler on acid.
But I will
tell you to go straight out, grab the book and a bottle of wine and ship the kids,
husbands, pets or partners off for a few hours so you can completely experience
the wonder that is this truly unique and amazing story.
ENJOY
