Nelle L'Amour

HOLY HOT DAMN
Is it hott in here? Or is it just THIS BOOK.
Nelle L'Amour is brilliant once again! I could not help but devour this book.
It wasn't just a story. It was a completely immersive experience.
I laughed, I cried, I was sick to my stomach.
I didn't have sex but that could hardly be viewed as a fault on her part.
I'm kind of sad that it's over.

This story had EVERYTHING
I knew I would love it before ever having personal contact with it
I WAS RIGHT
Nelle L'Amour is an artist
I have never wanted to kidnap a fictional character more in my life!!!!
My old favorites from That Man had magnificent cameos and for once, I DON'T want a happy ending of sorts for the bad girl.
I kinda want her to rot.
The only side-effect of having read this book, my family might now think I'm completely insane or all the times I've yelled "GET JEN!" or "I TOLD YOU!" show more at my phone.
Totally worth it show less

ARC provided in exchange for honest review.

I have been a fan of this series from the first book (That Man 1, That Man 2, That Man 3), and this installment in the series is just as well-written as the first three. There are a few laugh out loud moments, but for the most part, this book is more emotional. Not in a bad way, but it's easy to feel the apprehension and anxiety that Jennifer is experiencing, both with the success of the television show for the network, in addition to the wedding show more planning, that apparently she has no say in. It doesn't help when there are not one, but two ex-significant others who are trying to stage a comeback.

But for me, the biggest surprise in this book is how much Blake has matured since the beginning of the series. I'm not going to spoil anything, but I found it refreshing how he handled a couple of different situations. And hooray for Chaz for not bowing down to the wedding planner about the dress.

Now this book does end on a cliffhanger, and I cannot wait to see how this will all play out. show less

3.25 Stars

What I remember.
It was super hot and steamy with a great erotic sex scene from virtually page one.
While I remember finding the story in all interesting and wanting to love it, I could only like it.
I remember the characters 'Actions' were a bit.... 'cookie-cutter'.
It was one of those stories that could have been Really Good but failed on various levels to achieve that. I think my biggest problem was the 'Stalling' to continue the story. That's my show more best definition. He Stalled, She Stalled. And what should have been one book became 3.
Now, I do remember wanting to read more by this author and in this series. And I think I have more of her books, but none in this series.
This is what happens when authors have a great story then try to spread it out into many books that should have been one. You lose readers. Followers. I really think if this had been a duet or a single book I would have continued to make the effort to collect all her books and eat them up.
But, like almost all us avid readers, we really get over the continued continued continued and nothing much happening in each book. One little twist or so and that's it.

With all that said, this author definitely has talent. And I did enjoy it. I wanted to give it higher stars, but I can't. But I will be reading more of her books sometime in the future.
