Nathan Qells(45) Michael Fiore(16) Andreo Fiore(28)
I love that Nate has a full life of funny colleagues, great family, and ex’s. Seeing him with Dreo was sweet. I like that he was a bit possessive and jealous.

I have a list of things I didn’t quite like about Acrobat, so let’s get into it.
1. The writing felt disjointed
Scenes were omitted that were important to the story, like the mugging between chapter one and two. We end chapter one with Nate talking to his ex-wife and her husband, and we start chapter two in the hospital after Nate saved a woman from being mugged. This is an important scene that acts as a catalyst for the story, and is constantly referenced, but do we see it? No.
In one sentence it would be daytime, and in the next, it would be the middle of the night. Don’t even get me started on the dialogue. Speaking of which…
2. Character interactions
Every time any character interacted, I kept thinking, people don’t act like this. Everyone kept touching each other’s faces. All the time. The dialogue was hard to follow and choppy.
Nate was so well loved that his interacts bordered on hero-worship. For example, his twenty seven year old son called to say his girlfriend was pregnant and they were getting married. And even though they were adults in their late twenties, already living together, getting married, his girlfriend was disowned by her parents. Nate’s ex-wife also freaked out because they were too young. Too young? He’s 27! So, I guess because Nate was happy for them, while everyone else in the book was an asshole, he looked like a saint in comparison and they treat him as such.
3. Romance
I didn’t completely buy Nate and Dreo’s relationship. They were together less than a week when they decided to move in together and start declaring their love. That would be fine if they had any sort of foundation beforehand, like they say they do, but Nate barely acknowledged Dreo’s existence before that week!
I liked some of their scenes, and it was entertaining at times, but overall, Acrobat wasn’t my favorite.

Good plot for a romance novel. I liked the characters even though I was perplexed by the age difference yet it was weird because Dreo seemed older than Nate.

Well, this has been a heartwarming journey!!
There's no plot twist or anything dark in it... But I loved it... If you wanna just have a good time, surely pick up this book. It was a refresher after all the thrillers and dark romance i have read past two months....
P.S: I loved Melissa

1.5 stars rounded up because of the pretty cover. I saw someone added a 0.5 for Nate getting stabbed, LOL. I’m not going to do that. But it was very annoying how he was such a saint and everyone and their mother loved him. There were so many secondary characters that were absolutely pointless and only there to tell Nate how awesome he was. And the touching. What the fuck was going on with all the touching.
I was so disappointed by this book. Angry and feeling betrayed for the first half, and then just resigned and annoyed. Nate was attempting to date some other dude for half the book. Then Dreo was shoe-horned in and suddenly he was the love of his life. I didn’t buy it for the one minute it took for them to get together.
There was so much going on and yet nothing at all. A mob plot that seemingly was only added for something to do. A saintly ex-wife. A son that was barely mentioned and never showed up on page, but was somehow the most important person in Nate’s life. I just don’t understand this book or the so-called plot or the writing. It was like being thrown into something mid-series with no explanation. I don’t get it.
I was so excited about this author after reading Frog but I don’t understand how she went from that to this in the same year. How very disappointing.

I struggled to get into the story
I struggled during the story and at 75% i contemplated to dnf it
I put this on a re-read later shelf to check if it was just my mood
