I enjoyed it but I wasn't very surprised by the ending. The build up to figuring out who was the murderer felt a little flat and when it ended I just didn't care much because I already predicted it. All the hype made me expect a lot more from this story.
The characters were likable and I was definitely rooting for all 4.
Overall, enjoyable and entertaining. I just think I wanted a shocking twist. A bang. And it didn't happen at least for me.
Biggest crush ever on David!
Books, Coffee & Passion
After reading Deep, the last book in Stage Dive Series, I knew I had to go back and read the previous books. I was really curious about David and Ev's story but I was betting that my favorite book would be Play because of Mal, who became my favorite band member in Deep. Well, even though I haven't finished Play yet (yes, I'm already reading it), I can say that I really don't think that's possible now because I totally loved Lick and David is my newest book boyfriend!
The story starts in the bathroom of an hotel in Las Vegas, Ev wakes up with a killer hangover, a hot and half naked tattooed guy, a huge ring on her finger and no memories of the night before. David, the hot guy in the bathroom with her, can't believe she doesn't remember their night and that they got married. Pretty hard on a rockstar ego, right?
“Let me get this straight, you don't remember anything?”“No,” I said, swallowing hard. “What did we do last night?”“We got fucking married.” he growled.
I fell hard for David, it's impossible not to because even though he was tough to read in the beginning, he definitely didn't have many flaws. But his trust issues, which are totally understandable, are also hard to overcome. He was hurt that Ev didn't remember anything from their night together, while Ev was trying to wrap her mind around waking up married to a total stranger. The first moments of the book were hilarious and I laughed a lot through the story (Mal, Stage Dive's drummer, delivered plenty of funny moments). David and EV's relationship was hot (sizzling chemistry!), sweet and realistic because they had to work through their problems. They really made sense together. I love their story and I am definitely recommending Stage Dive Series to all Romance readers.
I've been waiting impatiently for Hot Winter Nights, the sixth book in the Heartbreaker Bay Series, since I've read About that Kiss because the chemistry was insane every time Molly and Lucas were in the same room. I knew that with all those heated looks between them, and the fact that Molly is Lucas' best friend little sister, their story was going to be amazing! Turns out, I was right! Jill Shalvis is slaying me with this series!
Molly works at Hunt Investigations as an office manager, even though she loves her job she wants to take on a different role. She knows she's prepared for it but she has to convince Archer and her overprotective brother Joe that she is ready to investigate cases. She's restless and she's tired of being babied. Molly is probably the strongest heroine in this series, after Elle of course (no one is as badass as Elle!), she's sassy, confident, sexy, smart and she drives Lucas insane with plenty of hilarious moments.
Lucas is a strong, protective, smart, sexy, alpha man whore male, closed off emotionally because of his heart breaking past, that thinks Molly's way out of his league. What I loved more about Lucas was that he always got what Molly needed, he was in perfect sync with her feelings and he didn't tried to smother her with his protectiveness. I'd say he's the sweetest guy of the group.
So, there's a lot happening in Hot Winter Nights, the night Lucas and Molly spend together (one night that Lucas doesn't recall at all) puts everything in motion, there's a very serious case involving sweet elves and a bad Santa, Archer and Joe trying to baby Molly, all the crazy gang meddling in everything with lots of hilarious dialogue, the sizzling chemistry between Lucas and Molly and very entertaining funny, crazy banter.
Hot Winter Nights is another must read in this amazing series, highly recommended.
