A Review By Wendy
4 Can People Change Stars
* * * *
Are they considerate and put you first...
Are they truthful or hiding, changing the subjects or switching blame...
Are they cheap...to the point of painful and non sharing...
These are just a few things to look for... because if someone has certain traits, like making fun of others to make themselves look better... then those are red flags in my book...
What was so smart of Melanie Harlow and this new series was her take on these things and more...I say more because she gives us a couple who after ten years seem to have grown too comfortable and our gal Natalie has turned a blind eye to a couple of my No Go's that Dan her 10 year boyfriend has done...Yup Boyfriend... 10 years!
And Harlow also gives us Miles who has been a life long friend of Natalie since a very young age. With Miles, Natalie was always herself... never second guessing until she started to be confused with her feelings for him...She wasn't alone in those confused feelings...Miles was too..
But due to Miles never seeing what a loving married couple was like outside of Natalie's parents and his never telling Natalie he had feelings for her...Both had unresolved emotions they boxed up and put to the side.
These circumstances are the set up for Miles and Natalie to have the ride of their lives.
I went into this blind and basically you have sisters who go to a fortune teller and each is told their fate or future seen by the "gypsy woman".
What is told hits home for all of them except Natalie... she doesn't get her life needing change... she is set ...she bought her own home, ready to be engaged to Dan and her food business is doing great...
Nope, no reason to believe in her fortune at all.....
In this book you will meet the filthy, sexy Miles, man/child who has the best sense of humor, sexiest mind and loving heart... even though he has no idea he has been in love for a decade with Natalie...
(Oh, And that Cover.... yes please, yes...
A Perfect Idea of Miles for me to enjoy...)
Oh he has pined for her, wanted her, dreamt of her and jacked off mercilessly to thoughts of her...But love, nah... he doesn't know it or do it... How could he with his own messed up parents as role models. Instead he knows women, writing, sexual play and writing about sexual play...what could be better than that...
Natalie is the focused one of her sisters and has plodded along planning and doing things step by step. She knew relationships took work...and even after she discovered some hinky photos on Dan's phone...and he sent them to another woman...she buckled up and listened to his reasons and how it "never" went anywhere....
So after the meeting with the fortune teller and Natalie thinking to herself there will be nothing to come of the prediction, her phone rings with Miles showing as the caller...Hmmmmm well I know Miles, he is no stranger...She picks it up, they chat for a bit and make plans to see each other later in the day... she has a restaurant to run....But as she get to the place, there in the dark is Miles...waiting for her.
They both fall into their pattern of sexy sparing; Natalie and her body is very aware of Miles and his... She is not comfortable about all of this...she is about to be engaged...
This is told in each POV and it is so delicious I couldn't put it down. We are in both of these heads and it was terrific. I was concerned for a second about possible cheating with our main characters... but thankfully, it was not the case. It read really fast and you went on this delayed journey these two people should have been on from the start.
This is chocked full of sexy hot moments and also an instructional manual for women about men...with a smacking up the side of the head for men about women.The humor is topnotch.
All of it worked...I have my own reasons as to why a 4 instead of 5. Just my own stuff...So others will be loving every single morsel because the structure and writing was fun, happy, real and true.
Winner Winner Chicken Dinner fun.
A gifted copy was received in exchange for an honest review.
Melanie Harlow likes her
martinis dry, her heels high, and her history with the naughty bits
left in. She writes contemporary and historical romance from her home
near Detroit, MI.
