I adored this book! Tori is fantastic and I wish the cookbook she and her mom and sister are working on at the end was a thing in my hands because the food descriptions in this book are delicious. If I didn’t always want plantains and yucca, I would say this book caused the craving, but it’s just too hard to tell. And our hero, Carter Stone, is adorable. I liked him, but didn’t love him. I’m unbelievably excited to read the second book in the series though because for unknown reasons, Julian already has me starting a fan. 😂

*I received an ARC from Edelweiss for an honest review*
This is my first Mia Sosa book and wow!! It won't be my last that's for damn sure (i'm already eagerly awaiting book 2 in this series) The character's voices drew me in immediatelyyyy. With the alternating first person POVs we got a great sense of who these Tori and Carter are, their personalities, their thinking processes. It made for some hilarious moments with their inner thoughts.
The characters were great, the family and friend dynamics, loved them! I love when the hero and heroine are surrounded by their people. It gives us a sense of who they are as well. And Tori and Carter's friends and family did just that. Tori's bestie is hilarious. Loved Eva so much! We also see some friction there between Tori and her sister and i loved how that played out. By the end they'd talked it out.
Tori and Carter's chemistry was so on point from the beginning. The author did a great job of taking us through the progression of their relationship. The banter! The conflicts (internal and external) for these two were well explored too.
And let us not forget the steaminessss. omg they were so hot together. i gotta say Mia writes a heck of a sexy time scene. cuz daamn.
This book was just so fun, i found myself cackling many times, and as i mentioned above i'm eagerly await book 2. I need Ashley and Julian's book like yesterday! Would highly rec this one.

I wavered between three and four stars, there were just a few too many communication mishaps for my liking, and some family drama that seemed to be dealt with a little too quickly and neatly. That, and the dual first person POV, which is not my favorite style. That being said! There is a lot to like here, and I plan to check out further titles by this author.

Acting on Impulse is a romance novel told both by Tori and Carter’s POV.
Let’s talk characters:
-Tori is a Puerto Rican fitness trainer, and she has just broken up -sort of- with her douche boyfriend. All she wants is some alone time in Aruba’s paradise, where she meets no other but incognito Carter. I liked Tori mostly due to her “I take shit from no one” attitude. She is such a badass and has such a dynamic personality, you can’t help getting drawn in.
-Carter is a famous TV star – he has millions of women sweating over him. But being famous comes with a price; privacy. After having his privacy violated he seeks some peace and quiet -where else? Of cource at Aruba. Carter now, is the softie in the equasion. He is so gentle and caring and SENSE OF HUMOUR, you know this is my weakness.
Now, as far as the romance is concerned, I loved their relationship and dynamic. First of all, be prepared for slow burn. Mother of all slow burn it had me screaming: HAVE SEX ALREADY!!!!!!
I liked how they were both mature adults who uplifted and supported one another. There was no unecessary drama, as they solved their issues with that magic thing called dialogue *gasp* i know right?!?!?!?!
Lastly, I really enjoyed how the story wasn’t just the two of them. This is what sometimes annoys me in romance novels: all the characters care about is their relationship like there’s no world outside the two of them. Which, let’s be honest, is not realistic. So, I liked how Tori struggled with some family stuff, and how she wanted to better her career. And I liked how Carter never forgot his roots, despite being famous, and how he struggled with issues of trust and self- esteem.
The only thing I did not like was the ending. Not the ending so much in itself, as in a whole. I found it to be a liiiittle over the top, and things wrapped up a little too nicely and quickly for my taste. It somehow didn’t feel like part of the story; it’s as if it was added last minute.
General Thoughts: Acting on Impulse is a romance novel between a Puerto Rican trainer, Tori, and a famous TV actor, Carter. It follows their journey as they get to know each other and fall in love, overcoming difficulties and differences in the way! Perfect for romance lovers who are looking for a little spice in their lives!
