4 STARS!
I could not put it down. I was hooked from start to finish! Another amazing book from Nicole James.
The story starts off with a curiosity to both our hero and heroine. With Memphis being a nomad, never settling in one place for too long, or making any commitments. Then there’s Lola, the MC president’s daughter, who has a strained relationship with her family, and an equally complicated life all around. Both Memphis and Lola are missing something in their lives but not realizing it until fate puts them in each other’s lives that changes it all.
Memphis is an effortlessly likable character (and MC member). He has an air of alpha-ism in him but it’s never too in your face or full of dominance. Lola may be young but she’s had to handle a lot of shit in her life. She’s not at all bratty or immature, and despite the problems in her life, she still tries to give herself some positivity.
There might not have been initial explosions and fireworks but Memphis and Lola but there was always a constant flicker of heat and sparks between them that although their feelings developed rather quickly, it didn’t come off as unconvincing.
James has put a lot of substance into this MC romance, adding complexity to her lead characters and their lives. These characters are more than meets the eye and it gradually gets revealed the further the plot thickens.
There’s a lot of sorrow and heartbreak in this story that explains a lot of the characters’ personality traits and their actions to certain things, that you find yourself sympathizing with the entire situation. It’s a journey full of family, chaos, acceptance, love, and overall growth as a person. It’s a truly sweet story — and one I must admit is one of the sweeter stories I’ve read in an MC backdrop.
A relatively well paced storytelling told from multiple POVs (both mostly from Memphis and Lola’s perspectives). Although this is part of the RBMC world, it can be read as a standalone and I guarantee it’ll leave you sighing with happy contentment.
If you’re a fan of Nicole James’ writing style, and/or wanting to read more MC romances, than this is another book to add to your TBR. The chapters are short but action-packed with a smidge of suspense, and the entire book can easily be read in one sitting.
I was provided a copy by the author.
