Tommy & Adrian
Rating: 5 ⭐️
- Grumpy x Grumpier
- Town Anti-Hero x Motorcycle Outlaw
- high heat
- found family
- forced proximity
- (light) stalking & obsession
- lingerie/ femme kink
- caretaking
- hurt/ comfort
- hard earned HEA
I'm in love.
I'm so glad I stumbled upon "Home in Nevada" on KU & found the authors Instagram that led me to this very well written & amazing story.
So - while I try to sort my thoughts on this amazing book, I just start rambling.
I've read a lot of romance novels over the past few months - and I mean A. LOT.
Some were good, some bad, some DNFed & a few were amazing.
This book?
Amazing ♡
I loved every minute of it & couldn't put it down.
It's sweet, it's spicy, it's captivating.
It's been a while since I rooted so hard for a couple to get their HEA.
It has this kind of mafia setting - but different.
They are both extremely sweet with & to each other. No mean fighting, no bad vibes in their relationship.
Although Adrian is stalking Tommy, it never seems creepy or power-imbalanced.
You can feel their love and devotion from the get-go.
Just - read it for yourself. You're gonna love it ❤️
The only bad vibes came from Tommy's "friends" & coworkers.
And since I read this book first ( although it's the 3rd in this series) I kind of don't want to read the others because I hate the characters already a little bit for how they treat Tommy and - yeah- maybe he deserves it.... but I don't care. I already picked him as my favorite. Sue me.
Just like his so called "best friend" is just a bitch. Not a friend. Friends are people who show up when you need them, even when it's inconvenient.
And- I really, really hope Darren gets a book.
And soon.
Please & thank you!
