I just finished iGifted by and I gotta tell you... I have never felt better. It has all those cosy, Christmas-y vibes one may look for in their books. In fact, I'll be going through this book once again this weekend just for the pleasure of getting lost into Kristi's perfect world. I don't really need to tell much about the steaminess because well... the cover gives out plenty of vibes. This bad boy deserved all the praises. It's a romantic comedy, which had me in fits of laughter. At one point, I almost ruined my laptop due to spilling my drink in complete clumsiness. It was literally a Hallmark worth of a story. The concept was so much fun that I couldn't help but keep swooning everytime our man made an appearance. Unlike typical romance stories, it wasn't boring. I actually anticipated looking forward to each page. The author takes us on a merry journey to a happily ever after this Christmas. It was light, romantic, and every bit of comic as it claims to be. Thank you, Kristi, for giving me a chance to indulge in such a beautiful holiday story ❤️
OMG I love Kristi's writing. She really knows how to draw you in and keep you reading till the very end. I loved this Holiday story because it had me laughing so hard I was crying. This is a must read for the holidays because it has friends that get together and have fun. I have to say that Kristi hit it out the ball park.
So go on out and one click this bad boy and enjoy a Christmas read that will have you laughing!
I received this book for free in exchange for a honest review.....
Marley and Asher seem like the perfect couple. They have been dating for 10 years but the past year has seemed different...more distant. Asher goes to New York for business and for days Marley hasn't heard from him. When she finally does, he says he will be back in a week and has something he has been wanting to ask her for some time but couldn't get up the courage.....fast forward...he has been cheating and in love with someone.
Marley is devastated and her world is off kilter. Her friends drag her out to the mall where her friend, Piper, makes her sit on Santa's lap and ask for the gift she would like the most
Marley asks Santa for the perfect man...which seems would be a robot one. A week later she gets an invite to order the "perfect man". When Walker arrives, he seems so lifelike and not at all what she expected.
Will Marley fall in love with Walker? Will Asher run back to Marley?
You will have to read the book to know.
This book is a rollercoaster of emotions especially for all Marley learns, goes through and feels. I could so relate to her. There are some steamy scenes at well.
I don't normally read romantic books, but I thought I'd give it a try. This is my second book reading of Kristi's she really knows how to draw you in, and you don't want to stop reading her books.
My heart hurt when Asher started to ignore Marley. That's a hurtful thing especially from someone you love.
My anxiety started to get the better of me when she started to throw an engagement party without being engaged. I started getting really anxious when Asher wanted to speak privately to Marley, I knew it wasn't going to go well.
I picked the book back up, as I had to keep reading. I had to keep going to get over Marleys heartbreak. Atlest she has very supportive friends to help.
Marley asks Santa for the perfect man and it seeks like it would be a robot. A week later she gets an invitation to order "the perfect man"
I do also like that the perfect man is a robot since the book is written in the future.
Some "spicy" bits, nothing over the top. Who will Marley end up qith? Long time lover? Or the so called Walker the robot? Read her book to find out. Overall a very cute easy read.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
What a fun, light-hearted romantic comedy, with moments of sadness and moments of uncontrollable laughter. Once I began reading, I couldn't stop! I read straight through in just a couple of hours, and can't wait to read again! Kristi Tailor really puts you in the moment with this one!!
Spoiler Alert!!
Marley is living what she thinks is her best life, with her love of ten years by her side. She feels the loneliness when Asher is away for work, but when he responds to her messages, she feels the butterflies that keep her going. She doesn't doubt their love, and anticipates an engagement so much so that when he says he needs to ask her something important, she plans a celebration party with all of their closest friends, so that he can pop the question in front of those they love the most. When Asher arrives, does he pop the question? You'll have to read this amazing book to find out!!
I highly, highly recommend this read, and am so excited to be introduced to the world of Kristi Tailor!!!
Sometimes, I read a novel and think "I can see this being made into a movie." iGifted is definitely one of those novels. It'd be the perfect Hallmark Christmas movie. It has a cast of realistic and relatable characters. The plot is original and interesting. The novel is set in the near future and follows Marley Samuels, whose world gets turned upside down right before the holidays. Marley learns some harsh lessons about love and friendship. In the end, she finds out the sometimes, wishes do come true. iGifted is an amazing novel and should definitely be at the top of your to-read list.
Marley Samuels knows exactly what she wants and how she wants it. However, she must brace herself for the twists and turns her life is about to take. When plans go haywire, she treats herself to a hunky android. What happens when feelings go deeper than planned? Can Marley step away from the hunk of hotness and return to her old life? Should she bother or should she see where the new situation may lead?
If you want to read a book filled with romance, hope and a lot erotic scenes, this is it. iGifted is a fun and steamy read.
Yet another great read to follow the Winter's Kiss Series. Marley's life is turned upside down in an instant when she thinks her life was going exactly as she planned. Trying to put things back together, she is given an opportunity to manifest a relationship she wished she had with her ex. Things aren't quite as they seem when she begins to uncover the truth about the people she's chosen to surround herself with. I recommend you take the time and read this well-written romance, you will not be disappointed. Great Job!!!!
I love that the setting is in the future! Marley’s story is a unique one and steamy to say the least. The plot is excellent and it’s well written. The ending was great but I wish there was more information about the love interest. Who he was. What he did for a living. Etc. But overall this sexy read was a refreshing change from the traditional romance novels out there.
This was my my first time reading a futuristic story and my first read by this author and I am impressed! I thoroughly enjoyed this book! The characters were realistic and you could imagine the story unfolding. I could see this being a Hallmark Christmas movie!
I loved this book. The characters were so real, and it is original. I laughed, and I cried and laughed some more. She made a Wish, and it came true. She found her soul mate, and she found out who her friends are. Her parents were lovely people, and her ex was a waste of flesh. In the end, she found Wishes always come true.
Without giving too much away, my review will be short & sweet. Excellent read. I promise you will not want to put this down. If you are a hopeless romantic, this book is for you and it's funny too. This is my second book by this author and won't be my last. A great Christmas gift for someone or keep it for yourself. You wont be disappointed.
OMG!! This was an amazing amazing read! I’m mad that it took so long for me to read this. A very beautiful romantic love story! I’m so happy for Marley and Walker/Austin. I just knew Marley was going to go backwards. Wonderful read. Awesome job Author. You definitely gain a new fan.
This is NOT my genre, so I ordinarily would not give a book like this a second glance, but I was intrigued by the sci-fi robot (and I wondered if it would turn evil?) so I gave it a try. I nearly read it in one sitting. I was hooked within a few pages. Definitely an entertaining read with a relatable protagonist with some horrible friends...
Marley’s is pulling her life together after the status of her relationship and some of her friendships change. Maybe an iRobot companion will be just what she needs to get her life back on track!! This book is a must read. Kristi Tailor does not disappoint!
Not my typical genre but I decided to give it a shot. I was pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed this book. The topics are current and interesting and kept me entertained. It was a good short and fast read. It kept my interest on every page.
This was my first time reading a futuristic book and I must say I enjoyed it. The characters were relatable and that’s what makes me really delve into a book. Some of the characters left a nasty taste in my mouth, but what’s a good book without a good villain. I look forward to reading more from this author.
I absolutely loved this book. It was creative and unique. It held my interest. Loved the main character and her beautiful naiveness. Loved the leading man too, mmmmm. Very cute. A happy book for those looking for a little romantic escape.
I enjoyed the story. It was well written and the surprise at the end added to the intrigue. That so called friend of hers would have been booted a long time ago but even that added to the excitement of the story. Good read Kristi!!
I needed something quick and fun so I am glad I read this. There was a nice mix of drama, life advice, and self realization as our mc went on her journey. If you want a different spin on your usual reads, I suggest reading this book.
Amazing read. Could not put it down. Very funny romantic comedy about a woman who has expectations that aren't fulfilled. Will definitely read more from Kristi Tailor.
