“…every swirl of my tongue, every slide of my fingers seems a little bit selfish because there’s no way she’s getting as much out of this as I am.” However, towards the end there was just one angst too many for me and a reveal I felt that took away from the romance.Īnd on the romantic end of things, the romance is largely slow burn.Īs an adult romance reader, I did crave more steam, but the scenes that are there are well written and avoid the cheesy dialogue that befalls certain adult romances. While there are some heavier issues woven in, for the most part it didn’t drag it down and the tone kept it largely lighthearted. Told via their dual alternating first person POV, the story was strong and engaging. He was an underdog to root for, and I was rooting for him to find his voice. Though Taz is broken and has plenty of frustrating moments, my heart did break for him. Simply put, the absence of doormat female characters was refreshing. I was incredibly pleased to find Tia as someone who not only didn’t break down, didn’t back down, and wasn’t about to be walked over, whether from potty mouth ten year old boys or surly seventeen year old ones. One of the things that stood out was something the adult romance market is often short on-a strong heroine. From the main characters to the side characters, there was depth and there was distinction. In fact, the characters are one of the strengths of the novel. And coupled with their witty narration and entertaining banter/dialogue, they kept me turning pages to find out everything from what makes them tick to what antics the West tribe would stir up next. Like to the point where I couldn’t put it down till I finished it. Though listed as YA romance, which I don’t normally dip into, the sample pulled me in and then the characters just kept tugging. “Ever since steamrolling my ass this morning, she has steadily ramped up the level of torture until I’m somewhere between homicidal and a hardon at all times.” In fact, it seems she hasn’t met a challenge that she doesn’t want to nurture, and Taz is no exception. Gibson Tazmerek, 17, wears his facial scars as a warning, and most of his classmates have gotten the stay-away message loud and clear. “I am the Titanic, carrying way too many people, not nearly enough life rafts, and the iceberg is inevitable and right up ahead.” Then there’s the stray pets adding to the chaos of the West abode, and it doesn’t seem like she could possibly take on another project or responsibility when Tia tackles the mother of them all in the form of a fellow classmate and juvenile delinquent. For one, she has six siblings, five of which she’s just as much a mother figure to as a big sister. Why can’t I just have it for free?
