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!
