"Life is a f***. And it's your choice whether you lie down and take it up the a** or take control and make it the best god**** screw possible."
This book was STEAMY! I love an interracial romance. I think we can all agree the romance genre needs more POC authors as well as main characters. This book did not disappoint.
A business centered around dumping people - a little silly in theory, which is what made this book less-than-perfect in my eyes. It didn't seem entirely grounded in reality that this business would exist, and was a little hard to get past for me.
However, the chemistry between Zora and Cyrus was off the charts. I absolutely loved Cyrus's dominant nature. He was so hot and truly a man's man. I loved how he saw Zora - straight through her defenses, into who she really was. Cyrus wanted Zora on a visceral level - not just physically, but he truly wanted to know what was going on in her head and I loved how he protected her, even from her own mother.
Zora was an amazing character. She is beautiful, smart, badass, independent, and funny. Everything you can ask for in a heroine. She didn't let herself be steamrolled, which is all a woman can dream of in the face of adversity.
I would definitely re-read this book, and recommend it to a friend. It was sweet, poignant, romantic, and fun. Thank you to Naima Simone, Montlake, and Netgalley for allowing me this read in exchange for my honest review.
