One of the best romances via my kindle that I've read in a very, very long time! I devoured this book in a few days tops. Not quite when opposites attract deal but two well written characters who keep surprising you and refuse to be the cookie cutter cut outs--Tangela isn't just the bookworm who hides out in her bookstore. Reese isn't just the biker who rolls through town. They keep evolving as people on the pages as they go through stages of what the other means to them, what they want out of life and what life hands to them....Goodness.
This was such a great read. On another note you learn about the responsibilities of a small business owner (shout out to the small time bookstore owners) and you learn about biker culture. (gives me a new appreciation to be honest) There were so many themes running through this book as well: "Finding someone with that spark" (because chemistry is a factor), "Feeling appreciated (Showing your significant other that they are special)...Perhaps the biggest lessons that are to be learned are taking a risk, stepping out and not settling for who you have because of your age, your upbringing, of what's familiar. There was some campy dialogue that popped up on a few pages but it can totally be forgiven because the characters are all rich developed (side characters are not exempt! You will love many if not all of them)
This is a book that I want to reread now while typing up my review!!!!! A lovely romance with an interracial couple that's not white! (Black Woman/Native American Man) An adventure of two adults with families, businesses, hopes, dreams and a chance meeting that changes them forever. A special thanks to the WOC IN Romance twitter for their work because this is how I came to buy and read this gem!

An intriguing premise yet a short short that did not pay off for me in my investment at the end. It's fine that Rose is already married to her husband and that's been established yet the longer I read on the more and more I was confused by her back and forth about him after she's realized he's bad news.. I loved the formatting with with the key icons at the beginning and the end of the story, also really liked the unique little symbols that acted as dividers between bodies of text. The cover design is simple but elegant.
The first volume of manga of Asada's work that introduced me to what she can do as a mangaka. Super thankful to the expanding world of digitized manga because as soon as I read this volume I devoured the rest of the series within two weeks. Heart Break Club follows one Nima Momosato, who is unusually unlucky with boys--as soon as she crushes on a boy and confesses or gets ready to--he's quickly in a relationship, this marking her as the 'warm up' act. She is asked to join a club that observes and researches other people's love lives and becomes friends with an eclectic bunch: a hot anime otaku , a super serious-non nonsense girl who views love as an experiment and a drop down gorgeous girl who happens to be a boy who cross dresses.
The first volume goes full speed ahead and starts laying down the tracks for a multi-layered story with a host of character that don't bloat the narrative but truly add to it. It IS a high school drama, it is also wonderful tale of falling in love, learning lessons on who a friends is, and choosing to be more than who everyone tells you that you are--forging your own identity. I really like how Nikki Asada runs from hilarious to heart jerking in a drop of a hat and back to it. If you like shojo manga, you should try this one out if you;re looking for a 10+ volume series.
