Completely_Melanie | 1 annan recension | Sep 10, 2021 | Kenzie is an author who has hit a bit of a writer's block. While she works to find her voice again, she gets help financially from her supportive father and lives a fast paced single life. Non-committed hookups with guys, along with drugs, and drinking and the magical life of Australia, Kenzie has no worries, except Kenzie still can’t write. There is also that man who has walked back into her life and managed to incorporate himself into her family. Completely attracted and mind blow by this man, the feeling of lusting after him but doesn’t want to have anything to do with him, Kenzie can’t help but get emotional.
Reading books written by authors from different countries is a prime example of getting to peer into someone else's culture through books. You see the costumes and family dynamics. It is what reading is about; exploring.
What Didn’t Work: There is a lot that happens in this book. I wanted to know what happened between Kenzie and Max’s past “relationship.” What happened in all that time that passed that now he is so desirable to her, something he obviously lacked before. Secondly, the author leaves the reader wondering if Dash, Kenzie’s ex-husband but still best friend, is gay. We know Dash goes on a date but we never learn with whom. Some of his mannerism suggest that he might be gay. Also, he desires a child with Kenzie, never acknowledging that a future wife could be an option in his desire to have children (he is still dating after all). If Dash is gay, I don’t know why it's not explicitly stated. In our current time a gay character, even if he was once married to a woman, isn’t frowned upon like in the past. It is almost expected. Lastly, I thought Kenzie might have decided to change some of her “recreational activities,” but we are never told for sure. Max is more of a clean life kind of person and I wonder if that will clash with their relationship in the future.
What Did Work: Max!! Max worked for me in every single way. I love him and his gentleness and protection and knowing what he wants. Though he is a bit bossy, he can also respect Kenzie’s decision. I just love him and wanted to keep him for myself. I really loved all of the characters. They all had something about them that seemed genuine (the married sister who every now and then wants to cut loose but regrets it later, the father who sees no fault in his daughters, even the wild best friend). This was a real family and you probably know one just like them. The characters are just adorable.
This book has some major drug and sex scenes so not suitable for everyone. But even in dismissing those scenes, I enjoyed the book and the author's ability to show different sides of the main character through her interaction with the other characters. This story is about enjoying life, believe in yourself, and love even when you don’t know why you're loving. It's a lot of fun to read. Good book and I do recommend it!.

This was a good solid erotic romance. If I was able to give it, I would rate this at 3.5 stars. It was very HOT and STEAMY! I loved that part of it. I also really enjoyed seeing the character growth of Kenzie (our main character). This book was also very well written and flowed quite nicely. I did have to occasionally look up what a few Australian terms meant, but I didn't mind that too much because I was learning something new. I went in knowing that there was sex and drug use in the book, and I was ok with that. I did, however, have a problem with a large chunk in the beginning of the book because it was just wake up, do some drugs, go party, sex, repeat, and repeat, and repeat, and I was kind of like, "Ok is this all it's going to be?" I felt that may have gone on a little too long before it really got to the Max (the other main character) and Kenzie story. Once it really got into their story, I really began to enjoy the book even more.… (mer)
