Acting on Impulse by Mia Sosa
4.0
Apparently, if you want me to read a new-to-me author all you have to say is, “It’s a slow burn, ” and I am on it! That’s what happened to me with Acting on Impulse after seeing it mentioned in a friend's Facebook post. My interest was piqued by the prospect of a slow-burning romance as well as the blurb, but the first paragraph is what pulled me in: “I’m standing in the middle of an airplane aisle…Someday I’m going to marry the woman sitting in 12D.” Of course, I had to read the rest after that bold declaration!
The woman in question is Tori, a personal trainer from Philly, and the statement is from Carter Stone, a famous-but-incognito Hollywood heartthrob. Both are flying to Aruba to escape the recent snafus that happened in their lives. What starts out as an innocent flirtation almost turns into a full-blown island romance— that is until Tori overhears who Carter truly is.
I enjoyed watching Tori and Carter deal with the realities of their differences and work through their issues with Carter's public life. I could have used a little less drama from Tori, but she's been burned by a 'public figure' before, so I understand why she would be apprehensive. Moral of the story: lies by omission never end well, and neither does running away without getting the truth.
Acting on Impulse is a fun and flirty romance that has a nice dose of angst, more steam than I was expecting, and a wonderfully diverse cast of characters. Since I liked Ms. Sosa's writing style, not to mention that I am quite curious about the couple in the next book, I'm sure that I will be reading more from her shortly.
