Take Me Home Tonight by Erika Kelly
4.0
I received this book as an arc and I am leaving an honest review voluntarily.
This is Mimi's story. She was introduced in the last book by a friend of Violet's. Amelia or Mimi is only looking for her father's acceptance. When all else fails, she joking a cooking competition, hoping to win his approval.
Calix is a band member who happens to be in the right place at the right time but also her fantasy man. Calix's family is kinda a mess. They seem to be trying to move on but not quite whole after his brother's passing. Their house exists, but the home isn't full of life anymore, more like walking on eggshells.
Things get steamy, and a lot of unsolicited advice flies, but Calix seems to be living again. Mimi is blunt, honest, and has no bs outlook, and I love her personality. This seems a lot more like lust than love. But we shall see where this goes. They both have a lot to deal with and a lot of guilt to overcome.
This book does end happily with a fantastic story. I didn't get as emotional in this book, nor did I feel as much connection to the characters. I did love that the band and characters we know were in the book. This book had many overcoming obstacles for our couple, and maybe I didn't get the grief they had to overcome for Calix to love. I did, however, see the daughter who tried to get closer to her dad, but even that didn't inspire emotions. I did enjoy the story and the sweet names they came up with. I loved that Mimi fought for what she wanted, and her personality really shined through in her actions and words. Calix was a stoic character who had a lot to overcome, but I did love seeing the change in him as the story progressed, even though sometimes he took two steps back. I love the ending of this book, and I love the author's resolution to end this story.
