Le mois de mai est chargé en émotion.
Avant de s'envoler pour son nouveau job, Mia passe à Las Vegas où elle rencontre le petit ami de sa soeur lors d'un dîner très officiel chez les parents du jeune homme. Les tourtereaux annoncent leur intention de s'installer ensemble et de se marier. Mia a un peu de mal à digérer la nouvelle.
C'est à Hawaï que nous la retrouvons. Elle est engagée comme mannequin pour une célèbre marque de maillots de bain. Angel D'amico veut prouver qu'on peut être belle même si on ne fait pas une taille 34. Il a créé une nouvelle ligne pour les filles ayant des formes, et Mia est son mannequin vedette.
En arrivant dans ce lieu paradisiaque, Mia découvre son partenaire mannequin, Taï Niko, dont le corps musclé et les tatouages tribaux la font immédiatement fantasmer.
Son séjour sur l'île risque de ne pas être de tout repos, d'autant qu'elle attend l'arrivée de sa soeur et de sa meilleure amie qui viennent la rejoindre pour une semaine de vacances.

I found this month a little strange, she didn't work much as an escort.
Tai was a weak character, I didn't find anything extraordinary, nor were the sexual moments so spectacular.
I enjoyed being able to finally get to know a little more about Mia's sister, Mads.

Continua il mio calvario…
Maggio è forse il mese peggiore.
Nei volumi precedenti la Carlan aveva fatto un minimo sforzo provando ad inserire qualcosa alla “trama”, come la raccolta fondi ad aprile.
Ma qui è come se avesse esaurito le idee. Beh, certo, non che le precedenti fossero geniali, ma almeno ci aveva provato.
Qui non c’è NIENTE!
Neanche il cliente del mese! Viene menzionato un paio di volte così tanto per dire che c’è e che Mia si trova lì per fare un servizio fotografico, ma siccome non è giovane e non è libero, non è di nessuna utilità per il tour del sesso di Mia, quindi cancellato.
Anche perché Mia ha trovato il trombamico del mese dopo ben… 1 ora dall’arrivo.
Ma vedi questa…
La caratterizzazione dei personaggi è come al solito latitante, perché a parte che sono tutti dei super fighi e super sexy altro non c’è.
Se provassimo ad aprire le teste di questi tizi tatuati e palestrati dentro troveremmo il vuoto cosmico.
Le donne vengono classificate in base alla taglia del reggiseno e dei fianchi…
Tristezza…
Non voglio dilungarmi, anche perché non c’è davvero nulla da dire, a parte sessioni di sesso, conversazioni sul sesso e pettegolezzi sul sesso… e via così, quindi vi lascio con alcune frasi di Tai davvero illuminanti e così romantiche…
Ditemi voi come si fa a resistere a uno così…

Non guardarmi come se mi volessi saltare addosso ragazza oppure ti sbatto contro il muro più vicino e ti scopo in modo che ti sentano tutti.
E ti sentirebbero.
Niente può battere una donna che urla di piacere quando ce l’ha dentro fino in fondo”
“Voglio vedere i tuoi meloni”
“Il tuo fiorellino è maturo, sento il profumo del tuo nettare, posso assaggiarlo?”
“Ti apro in due ragazza, ti metto dentro il mio marchio così sentirai la mancanza del mio cazzo quando te ne andrai”
“Sì così, adesso ce l’ho bello bagnato della fichetta fradicia”
“Pronta a camminare in modo strano domani ragazza?”

O poveste pasionala, incendiară și in același timp o prietenie. Toate acestea intr-o poveste foarte frumoasa și plină de tradiții și obiceiuri. O poveste frumoasa, cu toate că Mia mă intrigă de fiecare data. Nu știu cum poate trece de la un bărbat la altul atât de ușor.

Okay.. So I really don't like writing negative reviews, but since I want to be a reliable Bookblogger and not only post 4 and 5 rating reviews, the not-so-popular opinion needs to be out there too!
I've told myself numerous times that I would stop reading this series, but I'm curious about one character: Wes. And since the books only take 2 hours to finish, I'm going to keep reading. I am curious about the next book though!
A longer review can be found at Bite Into books
Sorry for being bitter and writing maybe a bit of a negative review, but I promised myself I would review all the books I've read, so there you are. I keep asking myself, and you are probably wondering as well: WHY DO YOU READ THESE BOOKS!? Well.. One reason: Wes.
I'm too curious and I really want to know where that storyline is going. So I read these books with all the sappyness (it's not a word), too much good sex and way too good looking guys. Yep.

This installment of Mia's journey was meant for her to just have FUN. Take some of the pressure off of the journey, the stress of her Dad still being in a coma, and realize that she isn't always going to be the great protector of her little sister. Things change, people grow up.
Included in May is a man that everyone will drool over. Tai is large, in charge, and the type of guy every girl wants to friend and fu*k.
I hope you enjoy the heat, friendship, family, and the island of Hawaii as Mia takes you through the month of May.

Heerlijk zonnig weer en wat tijd over voor een vergadering zorgde ervoor dat ik dit boekje vanochtend razendsnel uitlas.
Dit deel was weer wat minder dan maart en april. Er zat weinig verhaallijn in en te veel seks. Tai vond ik trouwens wel heel leuk en de setting vond ik heel tof: Hawaï! Er werden wat kleine stukjes over de gebruiken op Hawaï verteld, leuke toevoeging!
Volgende maand hoop ik weer op iets meer verhaallijn, maar stiekem blijven deze boekjes gewoon leuk om te lezen!

Ce tome est un véritable vent de fraicheur!
Je ne sais pas pourquoi, mais j'avais hâte de lire ce tome du mois de mai. Peut-être parce que c'est le mois de mon anniversaire. Dans tous les cas, on pourra dire que j'ai gardé le meilleur pour la fin puisque j'ai lu ce roman durant la dernière journée du mois.
Lorsque je repense à ce tome de la série, je me dit que c'était vraiment comme des vacances. Mia peut enfin profiter et se détendre durant le mois de mai. Il n'y a pas de stress, que du plaisir. Beaucoup de plaisir en fait… Haha! Thaï est vraiment tout un homme, personne ne peut dire le contraire. Même si côté physique, ce n'est pas totalement le genre qui m'attire, Thaï a su me séduire par sa personnalité. Il est tellement gentil, attentionnée et attachant. Il est aux petits soins avec Mia. La chanceuse!
On se concentre aussi beaucoup plus sur la relation de Mia avec sa sœur cadette. Les proches de Mia sont beaucoup plus présents dans ce tome, ce qui le rend encore plus attrayant quant à moi. Elle va passer du temps de qualité avec sa famille dans un décor à faire rêver. Ce que je l'ai envié durant ma lecture. Vraiment, touts les éléments y étaient pour faire une tome génial ce mois-ci.
En résumé, le mois de mai aura été un de mes tomes préférés de la série. C'est léger et pour une fois, Mia oubli ses tracas pour se concentrer sur les gens qu'elle aime. Mais elle apprendra au détour qu'elle aussi a droit au bonheur. Je crois que ça marque vraiment un point tournant dans son évolution et j'ai hâte de voir ce que nous réserve la suite de ses aventures.

By far my least favorite month. I wasn't a fan of Tai and his usage of the words "girlie" and "flower." Are you12? No thanks. I ended up skimming a lot of this installment. It also became too repetitive with the worry for her sister and where her life is going. Blah blah blah.
March 4, 2016
May is the fifth book in the Calendar Girl series, this month Mia goes to Hawaii. She is there to model swimwear for an all sizes type of campaign. It was another great book, with some hits and misses for me. There were some great scenes, but also some meh parts. What is different about this book compared to the other books is that there is a bigger part of the story that takes place back home in Las Vegas and Mia spends some time with her baby sister and best friends before she goes to Hawaii. Things are changing in her sister her life and that indirectly also impacts Mia, as she always cared for her sister and was at times like a mother to her. I liked seeing how Mia took this new development in stride and how this is part of her journey and finding herself. I also liked seeing the two of them together.
Ofcourse there is more to the book than that. In this book her client actually takes a backseat, which was okay, although I would've liked to learn a bit more about the work she did. It just felt a bit weird there was so less about the actual work she got here to do. It's definitely more of a relaxed and vacation feel. And the focus is more on Mia and her relationship or sex buddy adventure with Tai. And discovering Hawaii. I liked that this book focused a bit more on the location and I liked learning a bit about Hawaii and Samoan culture. As in the previous books Mia usually stayed indoors a lot, it was fun to see her get out and discover the setting a bit more.
Mia her relationship with Tai was a bit of a hit or miss. It's lust at first sight and without any build-up they jump into the bed and have sex. No there is nothing wrong with that, but it just didn't really work for me. Maybe after 4 books I know what to expect from the sex and it just get's less interesting. I want more about the connection and relationships than only the sex. Tai and Mia know they aren't each others forever and just enjoy this time together and for some reason I had a bit of trouble with that, they are friends and know they won't ever be more so they have hot sex. It might just be me, but I wanted them to have more or less. Either just be friends or have more of a connection. And after a few times I got the memo about how big Tai was everywhere.
I did think Tai was a great character and I wanted his story and his happily ever after, not this time he spent with Mia, but ofcourse this is Mia her story and we experience everything from her perspective. And while I like that, I also really hope we'll see where Tai ends up with and if he get's his HEA. I did really like the scene towards the end that made me hope that Tai his happy ending is close by.
To summarize: this was another great book in this series. Mia her journey continues and this month she's in Hawaii. Her client is only a small part of the story and there is more focus on her relationship with her sister and how that impacts Mia. I enjoyed learning more about Mia her sister and her best friend. But I thought it was a bit of a shame we didn't see more of her client and the modeling. The sex part of this book with Tai didn't do much for me. I liked both characters, but I just have some trouble wrapping my head around how they had such casual sex even though they knew they weren't each others forever. I guess I like the sex and falling in love thing more. I did like Tai and I hope he get's his happy ending. Tai and Mia do form an easy friendship and I also liked how we saw a bit about Hawaii and Samoan culture in this book. Rating is more towards a 3.5 star rating.

Ik vond dit boek erg slecht. Het slechtste van de boeken die ik tot nu toe heb gelezen van deze serie. Het heeft totaal geen inhoud en gaat voor 99 procent alleen maar over seks. Ik hoop echt dat het volgende deel beter is. Uit dit deel had zoveel meer gehaald kunnen worden. De klant door wie ze is ingehuurd komt bijna niet aan bod. Ook het werk dat ze moet doen komt maar heel zijdelings aan bod. Echt jammer. Want er valt zoveel meer te vertellen over modellenwerk. Een gemiste kans.

Praia, sol e um sexy samoano. Aqui Mia pode relaxar e se divertir, especialmente com as companhias que ela tem. Ela passa alguns momentos sem se focar nos problemas do pai e também percebe que sua querida irmãzinha não é mais tão frágil e está crescendo. E ainda sobra tempo para Tai, que realmente é um dos personagens masculinos mais envolventes dessa série.

Honestly this book wasn't that special, nothing really happened. Besides, I though that I was in the beginning in May because of the lack of activities, that is when I found out that I almost finished the book already. The reason why I still gave it three stars is because the ending was so magical, I really liked that!
May 30, 2017
Eindelijk een leuker deel waar ik wat vrolijker van werd.
Mia verblijft deze keer op Hawaii en heeft daar de tijd van haar leven... (ahum, je weet wel). Dit deel vond ik leuker en vrolijk geschreven, echt een beetje feel good.

Dit deel is mijn favoriet deel tot nu toe. Eindelijk spendeert ze wat tijd met haar zus wat erg leuk om te lezen was. En oké, de seks blijft prominent aanwezig en is soms way overdreven maar ach, ik heb me er al bij neergelegd dat deze hele serie zo zal zijn, haha. Op naar juni!

...another very adorable and sexy and moving month.
HAWAII!! ♥
Loved it!
Off to Washington!
September 20, 2017
Après un mois d'avril que j'avais adoré , j'avais hâte de retrouver Mia pour un nouveau mois de découverture. Ce mois de mai a été une évasion totale car après un court détour par Las Vegas pour retrouver Ginelle et sa soeur Maddy, Mia s'envole pour Hawai et c'est le dépaysement total. Nous allons plongé au coeur de la culture et de l'histoire hawaienne
ce mois de mai sera celui de l'évasion, de la découverte , du questionnement sur soi mais aussi de l'exotisme. Les mois et les clients défilent mais ne se ressemblent pas. C'est vraiment appréciable de se pencher sur un mois où le sens de la famille est au coeur même de l'intrigue. Audrey Carlan a le don de nous faire passer d'un univers à l'autre sans aucun accroc et en juin, nous mettrons le cap sur la sphère politique de Washington.
Chronique complète à venir....

3.5 stars
When I started to read Calendar Girl series, I was really excited about the plot, but REALLY afraid at the same time. Afraid of the story getting boring, because each month is the same thing: Mia mets a new client, perhaps have sex, and by the end of the month, she does it all over again. And, unfortunately, I think that is happening ): And that's why I took a LOT of time to finish it, and that's why I'm giving just 3.5 stars.
But, like the other ones, May was really fun and easy to read, and I loved to know a little more about the Hawai culture.

This month takes place in Hawaii - there really isn't much to this story! She has a fun time with Tai - lots of fun. She does a bit of modeling although you really don't hear much from the people who hired her for the month! She spends a bit of extra family time with her BFF and sister, you get a bit of the island feel, the luaus, the samoan culture, the beach. Again - this is a great little summer series!!

Sérieux c'est n'importe quoi cette série là. Messemble ouais que chacun des clients de Mia est un esti de mâle fucking chaud qui baise comme un Dieu pis que toute la gang, ils veulent la baiser ELLE pendant un mois. C'est un ramassis prévisible de clichés et de situations toutes plus invraisemblables les unes que les autres. Je continue dans la série juste parce que tant qu'à avoir commencé, Je veux terminer; et que franchement, à 150 pages le livre, ça se lit dans le temps de le dire. Mais sinon, passez votre chemin, ça me vaut vraiment pas la peine. Le concept est génial, mais incroyablement mal exploité!

Mehh, deze serie is toch niet mijn favoriete serie.. Maar omdat ik wel graag wil weten hoe het afloopt, is de kans groot dat ik de serie wel afmaak. Ik loop op dit moment 2 maanden achter, maar dat haal ik nog wel een keertje in. (als ik zin heb)

The Calendar Girl novella series continues with Mia heading home to Las Vegas for a quick stop, then going onto Hawaii for a modeling assignment. The first thing that pops out at me about the storyline of May, the fifth installment in Audrey Carlans’ Calendar Girl series, is that in May get a more detailed picture of Mia and her relationship with her sister Maddy. Maddy is the key reason that Mia signed up for a year in her aunt’s escort business. The work she does, the money she makes, is all about protecting Maddy from the potential wrath in the payback for their fathers’ gambling marker.
Maddy is refreshingly chaste and naive and Mia is a mama bear with her. But her absence is starting to show its impact, which just seems to drive Mia’s protective nature even more. It’s really endearing. In May, Mia also gets to spend a little more time with her bestie Ginelle, who is probably one of my favorite secondary characters in Audrey’s library. Their relationship, the banter, the jibs and jabs at each other point to a unique comfort level and the trust that they share is enviable. Mia’s strong self confidence makes her a joy to read. She started down a path, took the job purely for practical reasons, but quickly discovered that it would be a transformative time for her heart. Going into her May assignment, there was definitely an air of melancholy in her thoughts. Hell, I was sad and a little distraught for her. But in her trip to Hawaii, she finds that her emotional connection and expectations of Wes (Mr. January) is waning and she isn’t as preoccupied with his life.
Her adventures in her May assignment lead her straight into the arms of an extremely sexually charged men, Tai Niko, and makes this chapter in Calendar Girls series the STEAMIEST yet. This is Audrey’s finest erotic writing with the most sexually raw scenes. Tai Niko is sex incarnate and Mia is an extremely sexual individual - so the two connecting on this level is dazzling. Tai also treats Mia with an intense amount of respect - he seems to read her heart and uses their time in Hawaii together to remind her of her strength and uniqueness. So while her time and experiences with Tai replenish her slightly bruised heart and soul, Mia’s gift to Tai is to remind him that life works out the way its supposed to. She lightens the heaviness of his heart reminding him that “Things happen for a reason, we just might not know what the reason is.” Her lesson to Tai, keep your eyes and heart open to greatness.
Among the myriad of reasons that I love Audreys’ writing is the layered storylines and ultra witty dialogue - Mia has a strong hold on my heart and I’m thankful we have seven more installments to follow her path to happiness.
5 Stars and recommendation!
The Calendar Girl novella series continues with Mia heading home to Las Vegas for a quick stop, then going onto Hawaii for a modeling assignment. The first thing that pops out at me about the storyline of May, the fifth installment in Audrey Carlans’ Calendar Girl series, is that in May get a more detailed picture of Mia and her relationship with her sister Maddy. Maddy is the key reason that Mia signed up for a year in her aunt’s escort business. The work she does, the money she makes, is all about protecting Maddy from the potential wrath in the payback for their fathers’ gambling marker.
Maddy is refreshingly chaste and naive and Mia is a mama bear with her. But her absence is starting to show its impact, which just seems to drive Mia’s protective nature even more. It’s really endearing. In May, Mia also gets to spend a little more time with her bestie Ginelle, who is probably one of my favorite secondary characters in Audrey’s library. Their relationship, the banter, the jibs and jabs at each other point to a unique comfort level and the trust that they share is enviable. Mia’s strong self confidence makes her a joy to read. She started down a path, took the job purely for practical reasons, but quickly discovered that it would be a transformative time for her heart. Going into her May assignment, there was definitely an air of melancholy in her thoughts. Hell, I was sad and a little distraught for her. But in her trip to Hawaii, she finds that her emotional connection and expectations of Wes (Mr. January) is waning and she isn’t as preoccupied with his life.

C’est toujours avec une attente indescriptible que j’attends chaque tome de la série Calendar Girl. Malgré les reproches que je lui trouve, j’ai toujours ce petit truc qui fait que j’ai envie de savoir la suite. J’ai donc fondé pas mal d’espoir concernant Mai et Mia.
Commençons par les points positifs. Durant son voyage pour Hawai, Mia va passer plus de temps avec sa petite sœur, Maddy. Un personnage que j’ai aimé découvrir un peu plus et voir prendre des décisions qui vont affecter Mia et enfin toucher sa sensibilité.
Le style est toujours fluide et l’histoire se lit toujours aussi facilement. Pendant ce mois de Mai, Mia va pleinement profiter de la vie sans se soucier de ses problèmes et il faut dire que le cadre s’y prête totalement. Plage, sable chaud, coucher de soleil, l’endroit idéal pour faire un break.
En revanche, je n’ai cessé de lever les yeux au ciel et soupirer pendant ma lecture. Vraiment… Plus les tomes passent et plus j’ai du mal avec le mode de vie de Mia et ses décisions. Tout juste rencontré, pas moins de 24h plus tard elle et Mr Mai sont déjà passés aux choses sérieuses et remettent ça tous les 15-20 pages… Sur une lecture aussi courte j’avoue avoir été déçue de ne pas avoir le côté personnalité de Tai plus développé surtout quand il parle de sa famille et leur culture, des leurs tatouages et leurs significations que je trouvais nettement plus intéressant que leurs parties de jambes en l’air.
En terminant Mai, je reste donc sur ma faim avec la sensation de faire du surplace. Mia répète quasiment le même schéma chaque mois. J’aimerais la voir évoluer dans sa façon d’agir, elle qui conseille à Maddy de réfléchir et de prendre son temps…
Comme je le disais plus haut, ma curiosité pour cette série est sans faille. Avec toujours cette envie de découvrir malgré tout au fil des mois les aventures de Mia. J’ai encore quelques espoirs notamment avec les révélations de la mère de Tai, mais des craintes de plus en plus fondées concernant le genre de personne qu’elle souhaite être.

Une fois de plus j’avais hâte de me plonger dans une nouvelle aventure de Mia et même si la mission du mois d’Avril m’avait un peu moins plu, j’avais bon espoir de voyager avec Mia jusqu’à Hawaï.
Cette fois, Mia est recrutée pour être mannequin pour une marque de maillots de bain. Le client du mois n’ayant pas plus d’exigences que cela, la petite sœur et la meilleure amie de Mia vont la rejoindre pour profiter de vacances ensemble ! J’ai bien aimé en apprendre un peu plus sur ses proches. On en découvre un peu plus sur Maddy, la petite sœur de Mia et sur sa relation sérieuse avec son petit ami. J’espère qu’on la reverra dans les tomes suivants !
Concernant le « travail » de Mia, si son client est marié et ne recherche rien de plus que ce qui est convenu dans le contrat, ce n’est pas pour autant qu’elle ne va pas profiter de son mois sur place. Elle va rencontrer Taï Niko, un mannequin avec qui elle va être amenée à travailler. Elle passera aussi beaucoup de son temps libre avec lui…
En résumé, un tome qui ne m’a pas totalement convaincue car je l’ai trouvé moins original que les précédents. Je n’en ai pas moins passé un bon moment et vais rapidement lire le tome du mois de juin !

Mia, Mayıs ayına fırtına gibi başladı..
Okyanus, kumsal, güneş... Yemyeşil bir ada... Hawaii... Egzotik danslar... Yöresel yemekler... Fotoğraf çekimleri... Ve elbette dev gibi seksi bir Samoalı... Tai!
Bu ikiliyi durdurabilene aşk olsun! Neler çektirdiler bana anlatamam :D :D
Mia'nın Mayıs yolculuğu çok keyifliydi.. O muhteşem yerleri onunla birlikte sanki ben de gezdim. Çeviri için araştırma yaparken, Samoa kültürüyle ilgili de birçok şey öğrendim...
An itibariyle, Wes'e daha çok kızgınım; Alec'i hala çok seviyorum; aynı şey Tony, Hector ve Mason için de geçerli; Tai de son gözdem olarak yerini almış durumda.. Nasıl tatlı, iyi kalpli, vahşi, seksi, düşünceli ve duygusal bir insan!
Wes, mümkünse bir süre daha gözüme görünme!
Tai, canım, diğer aylarda da karşıma çıkmanı dört gözle bekliyorum :)
Bir daha görüşünceye kadar...
Aloha!
