Someone tried to play trick or treat on the wrong woman, but when the police show up to arrest him, I see Sgt. Jovano, the hottie policeman who gave me a chance when I was a teen. He thinks I'm asking him out for coffee because he was kind to me years ago, but that's only part of it. He says he's impressed with my self defense moves. Maybe it's time to act on the fantasies I've had about handcuffs...
This...was not good...at least not for me. I am 100% down for short, quick reads but usually they are just a snapshot...a tiny peek at a small moment in time for the characters. This, to me, felt like the plot for a full 300 page book, smooshed down to fit in 50, double spaced, pages. And...I think the basic premise of this story is good. I would want to read a well written 300 page version of this story. But this...I did not enjoy. I didn't like the writing, it bounces around way too fast, is super cheesy but not in a good way (for me), and it was just kinda painful to read. BUT...it was short and a very fast read. Would not recommend...but not the worst thing I've read this year and I will take this over some of those others any day of the week.
FMC is invited to a party where the women are being drugged and there are visible couples/multiples in various stages of sexual activity. FMC and another woman are smart enough to not drink the punch. This is the vehicle for the FMC and MMC meeting back up years after HS. While it's not a large part of the story it's definitely a trigger warning in my opinion. FMC has to chase MMC because he thinks that he is too old for her, 8-9 years doesn't seem that many to me once you're out of your teens. I enjoyed meeting all of the family members and the steam on the way to the HEA.
Well written story and well developed characters! Elise has just moved back home with her parents. So she is pleased when an old classmate asks her to a Halloween party! However, the party feels off!
I don't have a problem with instalove stories but this was like a ping pong ball overdosed on caffeine. The dialog and the narration were stilted and awkward. It had a very good idea but the story was just...meh.
