I really enjoyed this book. I initially thought I would give it 4.25 stars, but I realized quickly how little it stuck with me, so it decreased in rating a bit. It was entertaining, powerful, and a great read. The reason it get 3.75 stars is that I feel like several of the plot lines were not well concluded and that after finishing it, it honestly immediately slipped my mind. I did like that it had romantic portions without having the lack of development of many romances.

What a fun, mysterious, and sexy romp! A lot of really loveable characters- the widows sort of remind me of the nuns in Sister Act. The main character Nicki is charming and good and speaking up for herself but imperfect enough to be relatable.  This overarching mystery of Mya holds the story together and everything wraps up nicely in the end. A very satisfying summer read- totally recommend!

I enjoyed this in a different way than I thought I would! The story is pleasant and compelling, and the erotic stories were mostly pretty interesting!
