Beautiful Mistake by Vi Keeland

4.0

As always, Vi Keeland is the perfect cure to my book hangover. Every time I read an amazing book, one that's filled with so much emotion, I always break up all those serious feelings by reading a smutty book. I can almost always count on Vi's books to be a cute read, but not a superficial one. This was no exception. I love that these books have these great covers and seem like they're going to be complete smut, and then they surprise you and have all these serious parts. I REALLY enjoyed Caine West. Not a fan of the name though, just because I'm soooo tired of new adult males to have these really exotic, powerful names. I know it helps for the fantasy and imagination, but really, where are the normal names lol Aside from that, I loved the whole story. Finished it in about two days. Also, spoiler alert, I had a feeling she was going to end up being that little girl. Only, when she said she lived with her aunt and uncle I was like okay... so is it her friend Ava? I knew she was lying when she said she didn't have a stepfather. By then it had clicked. I love how he found out with the penny thing. Up until that point I was still pretty unsure about whether or not she was the girl. I think I audibly gasped when she threw down the pennies. I also love how this guy was so in touch with his emotions and just felt like leaving would be best for her so he doesn't screw her up. I think everyone can relate to this.. it's like you don't want your problems and background to become part of someone in your life.. I also love that it didn't become a huge sneaking around at school thing and risk getting him fired. I feel like that's always the story line when it comes to this stuff. Anyways, I really enjoyed this one. It was a fun read with a few twists and tricks. I love when a book can feel smutty and lighthearted, but also not just completely void of a plot or a true story. Vi's books always do that for me ;-)
