The built up was nice and there were some fun moments. In short: The good: - The extra characters are great (her family, their friends, Izzy) - Funny moments - Sweet - though sometimes frustrating - romance. The 'bad': - Quite predictable - which is something I don't really enjoy. You could see most of the 'twists' coming from a mile away. - Nothing new or unique - Lots of back and forth - A little bit of OW (past and present) - The end. Bit of a rant with spoilers --> Sex, Not Love by Vi Keeland Audiobook Narrated by Andi Arndt & Sebastian York 5 Stars - I love a guy who doesn't give up. Hunter knew what he wanted.. or rather who and went after her. I really enjoyed the banter between Natalia and Hunter, there were loads of sparks, tension and I laughed often, which is always a bonus. This story felt full and was easy to fall into. Izzy was also a great character, I thought she added just that little something extra. The two narrators were fantastic as usual. ~ Paragraphs and Petticoats ~ ****CONTAINS SOME SPOILERS*** HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just finished Sex, Not Love and I absolutely LOVED IT. This is the second Vi Keeland book that I read and I just love her writing and her characters. What I'm noticing about Vi's characters is that not only are the male leads, sexy, bold, vulgar (in a HOT way), straight to the point, strong men but so are the female leads. They are sassy, career oriented and not afraid to go after what they want either. Because of these character traits, the chemistry in her novels is sizzling. Sex, Not Love follows Hunter, a sexy architect who is bold and vulgar but an all around great guy. After having lost his mother to what he thought was Parkinsons when he was a teen, Hunter and his brother Jayce were raised by their aunt and uncle. Hunter is a man who doesn't want relationships. he doesn't do "love" but from the throwbacks we get of Hunter's past, I immediately felt he was a very loyal guy. Hunter lost his brother Jayce and later in the book we find out how and why. Because of the lost of his mother and brother and the reason he lost them, Hunter harbors a secret that keeps him from loving and getting involved in any long term relationship. Natalia is a divorce woman whose husband went to jail for fraud. She finds herself raising her 15 year old step-daughter as she is her legal guardian while her ex is serving his prison sentence. Natalia first meets Hunter at the wedding of their mutual (and best friends) Anna and Derek. From that moment , Hunter and Natalia had a chemistry they couldn't deny. About a year after the wedding, they cross each other's paths again and decide to engage in a Sex, not love type of relationship. Both having been hurt by different types of losses they thought it was the perfect type of relationship for them but of course, destiny had other plans for them. The chemistry between Hunter and Natalia was on fire. I loved the fact that he was so bold from the beginning and he knew he was going to get her sooner or later. Natalia knew she was going to give into him also. I truly enjoying witnessing how their friendship grew into love. They were perfect for one another. The way he handled her and the way he cared so much about Izzy made my heart melt. These characters were so easy to relate to. Their imperfections and their past made them so real. I admire Natalia's strength and her dedication and love for Izzy. She really stepped in and was a mother to Izzy. Izzy's character was great also. I love witnessing her growth and seeing her mature into an amazing young lady. She was a very fair young girl despite all she had gone through. This book really had me feeling all types of feels. I laughed (out loud), I got angry in some parts, I got teary eyed in others and at the end I just had to take a deep breath and step back into reality. I need more of Vi Keeland's characters and more of their world so I can escape mine. :) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
From #1 New York Times Bestseller Vi Keeland, comes a new, sexy standalone novel. My relationship with Hunter Delucia started backwards. We met at a wedding-him sitting on the groom's side, me sitting on the bride's. Stealing glances at each other throughout the night, there was no denying an intense, mutual attraction. I caught the bouquet; he caught the garter. Hunter held me tightly while we danced and suggested we explore the chemistry sparking between us. His blunt, dirty mouth should've turned me off. But for some crazy reason, it had the opposite effect on me. We ended up back in my hotel room. The next morning, I headed home to New York leaving him behind in California with the wrong number. I thought about him often, but after my last relationship, I'd sworn off of charming, cocky, gorgeous-as-sin men. A year later, Hunter and I met again at the birth of our friends' baby. Our attraction hadn't dulled one bit. After a whirlwind trip, he demanded a real phone number this time. So I left him with my mother's-she could scare away any man with her talks of babies and marriage-and flew back home. I'd thought it was funny, until the following week when he rang the bell at Mom's house for Sunday night dinner. The crazy, gorgeous man had won over my mother and taken an eight-week assignment in my city. He proposed we spend that time screwing each other out of our systems. Eight weeks of mind-blowing sex with no strings attached? What did I have to lose? Nothing, I thought. It's just sex, not love. But you know what they say about the best laid plans… Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Overall, I enjoyed it. The ups and downs of the relationship weren't crazy and unfounded and in the end, it all worked out. ( )
