I received an ARC of this for a fair review.
Janelle and Rome are in Tulum for a wedding. His best friend, who also happens to be her ex, is marrying her sister. But Janelle and Rome feel an attraction they can't shake so they decide to have a vacation fling. It's only for the week, right?
Let me start out by saying that Natasha Bishop did something incredible with this book. Her writing style, her rhythm and pacing make for a smooth read you don't want to put down. I also love that even though the premise of the book was dramatic, the actual book wasn't. The author leaned into the emotion of it, instead of the shock value. It was perfect in that way. Janelle and Rome are very hot, and very sexy. Janelle is my queen! The poise she showed when those people she called her family were trying her!!! I was so mad for her. But I am glad she said what she needed to say and made the best choice for her and her peace in the end. Her ex is still slimy, idc idc idc. Janelle was mature, and she was understanding... until she couldn't be. I was happy she had Rome to make it better.
And Rome's willingness to take care of Janelle in a way that no one else would was so romantic. He catered to her needs, and not just the physical ones. Rome is bookbae material at it's finest. He was patient when it was time to be, and passionate when it was time to be and also a straight savage and a protector when it was time to be.
Read this book!
