Bad Decisions by Sonia Esperanza

5.0

Bad Decisions is book #3 in the Love, Philly series; this book is Lacey and Samuel's story. Although you don't have to read book #2 The Tipoff, I highly recommend it that you do. Hence, Lacey was introduced in the previous book. Lacey is such a sweet lovable character! A character that you'll automatically love from the very first page. She's quirky, sweet and caring. She has a big heart; a passion for medicine and taking care of people. Hence, she's working as a nurse. Lacey has ADHD, even though sometimes she struggles to deal with her disability/disorder on a daily basis, she's a great nurse. I loved how Sonia Esperanza portrayed her character. I mean, from the books I read so far, Sonia Esperanza did a phenomenal job. Her characters are true to life, she addresses real life issues and does it so well. Her writing technique is flawless and amazing. I haven't read Hijacked book #1 as yet (I'm hoping to read it by the end of this year, my endless TBR is out of control, go figure) but, our hero, Samuel made an appearance in book #1. Hence, he's Hector Rivera's (the main character from this book) son.


Lacey and Samuel are just so adorable together! They definitely have a great chemistry. Personally, seeing their relationship dynamics it's a cuteness overload, I felt all warm and fuzzy while I was reading. Bad Decisions is a feel good novel, I couldn't wipe off the smile my face throughout the book!! I loved every second that I was reading. Samuel is such a gentleman; he's definitely a cinnamon roll. My heart melted seeing his interactions with Lacey. He was so thoughtful and caring of Lacey. He had my heart from the first few chapters. Ahh, I need a Samuel in my life. And I really enjoyed seeing his relationship dynamics with Annie (his father's wife).


I was so happy to see Lily and Knight making an appearance. I absolutely loved how the storyline flowed!! I don't want to give any spoilers away. Lacey is a good girl, she avoids bad decisions when she sees one. But for one night in Las Vegas, Lacey decided to throw the caution out the window and make a bad decision. Ever since her paths crossed Samuel Rivera, Lacey became fascinated with him; she had a crush on him. The feeling is mutual, yet Lacey is scared. She avoids having a relationship, hence her past dating history wasn't really successful. But, Samuel is determined, he's going to find his way and break down Lacey's defenses. Overall, a great read! Can't wait to read more of Sonia Esperanza's work!
