Hot Shot
by Karina Halle
I really felt like I identified with Delilah in this book. Personality wise I felt like we were pretty similar in that we’re family oriented caretakers. She’s smart, and she could probably be living a different life, but she wanted to stay in her hometown and take care of her mother. In doing that she did end up carving out a great life for herself. I love that we got to see Delilah take care of herself, she was always in love with Fox but by the end she knew she was strong enough to stand on her own. Even if she didn’t always want too.
I thought Fox’s struggles were very captivating, and really showed what having a destructive personality can look like. I didn’t love that he kept what happened with his mother inside, and even towards the end of the book it’s not clear that he told Delilah. I was so happy that he got help, but my heart ached for the little boy who’s loving family failed him. I know at the time he was a child, therapy wasn’t as big of a deal, but I hope in this day and age if a child loses a parent that they get some kind of therapy to make sure they aren’t carrying around demons that big.
Overall, I think this was a solid showing from Karina Halle, I wouldn’t say it was lighthearted romance, but it was a well developed, thoughtful, and sexy book. 4 out of 5 stars.
