Il Produttore: Aaron

Los Angeles Billionaires #1

by Erika Vanzin

È bello, carismatico, Hollywood Royalty. È più vecchio di me. Il mio capo. Il frutto proibito che non posso assaggiare.


Aaron è un uomo di successo. È uno dei produttori più influenti di Hollywood, con più soldi di quanti ne possa spendere in una vita e una villa sulle colline più famose del mondo. La sua esistenza è la definizione di perfezione, ma c'è solo una cosa che vuole: l’emittente televisiva di suo padre.
Ha sacrificato tutto per ottenerla quando il suo vecchio si ritirerà, compresa la sua vita personale. Ne è valsa la pena? Non ha tempo di rispondere a questa domanda.

Dakota è l'astro nascente di Hollywood. È la protagonista di uno degli show televisivi fantasy di maggior successo, partecipa alle feste più glamour ed è adorata dai suoi fan. È un'attrice ventitreenne con Hollywood ai suoi piedi. C'è solo un problema: i paparazzi vanno a nozze quando si ubriaca alle feste.

Dakota è la mina vagante nel grande piano di Aaron. Riuscirà a fermarla prima che rovini la sua occasione di sedersi sul trono di suo padre?

Il produttore: Aaron è un age gap bollente che vi farà desiderare di avere un coinquilino come Aaron.

Perfect, just like all of Erika’s books!

Forced proximity/roommates, age gap, grumpy sunshine, slow burn, and a “nobody touches her but me” moment…I loved absolutely everything about this book!

Probably what I love the most about Erika’s books are the character she creates. They’re always so well rounded, have compelling backstories, and have clear reasons for why they are the way they are. And this newest book was no exception to that. Both Aaron and Dakota grew so much as people during the book thanks to their relationship first as friends, then as lovers. I was rooting for their relationship from the first moment they met!

I really enjoyed the little surprise twist towards the end of the book, which turns out being the conflict in their new and budding relationship. It was something I definitely didn’t anticipate but really added a layer of complexity to both Aaron and Dakota as characters.

Also, it was fun to see Aaron’s connection to the Jailbirds. While this is completely a stand-alone, you’ll enjoy a little cameo in this book if you’ve read her rockstar romance series.

Anyway, such a fun read for me and I cannot wait for the next installment! I think I’m going to like this series even more than the rockstar series, and that’s saying a lot!

Thanks to the author for gifting me a copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

THE PRODUCER may have just become my favorite age gap romance. It’s a collection of my favorite tropes: forced proximity, roommates, friends to lovers, billionaire romance. If that sounds like something you enjoy as well, I highly recommend checking out this book (and while you’re at it, this author’s backlist because her romance books are among my favorites).

It took me a little longer to warm up to this book then when I read Backstage, the first book in the author’s Roadies rockstar romance series, and it boils down to characters. Aaron’s initial emotional detachment and Dakota’s party girl antics didn’t make me feel an immediate connection to them, but I should have known Erika Vanzin had many surprises up her sleeve. Once the forced proximity story takes off and these characters started opening up to one another, I realized my first impression of them couldn’t be further from the truth. Both of them revealed vulnerabilities that triggered my protective instincts, and I was falling in love with them as they were falling in love with each other. The chemistry between Dakota and Aaron jumps off the page from their very first interactions. I loved that the age gap (13 years) wasn’t the biggest obstacle in their relationship, but that the challenge was really for them to learn to overcome their differences and overcome their insecurities. I was rooting for their happy ending!

Also, I was very happy that one character got what they deserved. If you know, you know.

Though The Producer is for all intents and purposes a standalone, there is a tie between this book and the Roadies series. It doesn’t spoil anything for you if you haven’t read those books, but when the cameo happened I was squealing! This to say, all of Erika Vanzin’s characters steal your heart and I definitely recommend reading everything this incredible author writes.

Thank you to the author for gifting me an early copy. All opinions are my own.

Did I just read another age gap romance and loved it? Yes, I did.

Having read other books by Erika Vanzin, I knew I would have enjoyed this. And I mean, it’s constellation of some of the best tropes. Forced proximity because the protagonists wind up becoming roommates? Check. Billionaire romance because the MMC is a successful producer? Check. Friends to lovers, which is one of my favorite tropes despite the fact it’s so underrated? Check.

I had a great time reading this book. Dakota is not the usual type of female protagonist I love immediately, but once I started to know her better and she started forming a connection to Aaron, I wound up liking her a lot. Aaron…okay I loved him from the start. He’s just perfect for me! What I loved most about him and Dakota together is that their thirteen year gap wasn’t the greatest obstacle to their romance. Dakota is an actress in the TV show Aaron is producing. People being people, it’s understandable how someone could be afraid to give off the wrong impression in this sort of relationship and start a gossip chain that will only end with feelings getting hurt and careers ruined. And because of this, I feel like the reception of their relationship was a little too easy. Everyone seemed to accept Dakota and Aaron too fast—and while it’s beautiful and it would be amazing if these things happened, it’s also a little hard to believe.

Oh and the cameo from the Roadies series…I squealed! Such a treat for us fans of the series!

Thank you to the author for gifting me a copy. Opinions are my own.

Love this one the most! I am a sucker for age gap romance, this one slowly took my life. If you're a fan of that and slow burn sexy romance you have to give this a shot.

Aaron is a sexy Hollywood producer and a man that likes to get his game on. He's not one to held back on any aspect, his father has giving him the task of "babysitting" a young actress for the sake of their reputation and to get the actress back on track. I loved Aaron's sexy demeanor, his growth thru out the book especially after his dad passes and he has to take charge (more than he already does!).

Dakota is young and unfortunately gets pulled into this mess of paparazzi event that could completely mess up her career and Aaron's company's reputation. Dakota is not the dumb actress that the tabloids have made Aaron believe to be. She worked to get her reputation back and prove to Aaron and the rest of the world that she isn't just some ditzy actress.

I absolutely loved the dynamic between Aaron and Dakota. This relationship has to be my favorite that the author has brought to life. Aside from having great love interest energy, there are SO many secrets unravel in this book. I was so hooked and in love from the first chapter. Cant wait to see more!

Huge thanks to Erika for sending me a copy. All opinions are my own.

Another gem by Erika Vanzin! 😍

Aaron is a powerful producer in the movie industry: the boss of the boss. He is so focused on his job that he is known around as "the butcher". So when Dakota, the 23 year old main actress of his most popular tv show, starts causing drunk scenes at parties and ends up being the spotlight of the tabloids he will take whatever means necessary to get her in line. Even if that means forcing her to live under his watchful eye.

The romance starts off with forced proximity, as Dakota has no choice but to go live with the producer, otherwise she will ruin her career. I LOVE the roommates-to-lovers trope, and combined with the forbidden love trope it makes it even more juicy🔥. The romance is adorably sweet at first, as the friendship and trust is built. Every interaction between them I found myself wiggling my toes guessing who would make the first move.

Also turns out Dakota is an avid reader of indie authors, specially romance fantasy with pointed ears, so I loved how much this story and it's characters resonated with me.

Read if you enjoy: age gap, roommates to lovers, friends to lovers, forbidden romance, forced proximity, romance at work❤️🔥

Oramai lo sapete, se Erika Vanzin pubblica, io leggo. Forse è quasi inutile dirlo, ma questa autrice ha uno stile di scrittura così coinvolgente che non ha bisogno di paroloni, non ha bisogno d’inventare drammi su drammi per farmi appassionare alle sue storie o ai suoi personaggi. Sì, ne Il produttore ci sono situazioni che non capitano a tutti, ma le situazioni sono talmente credibili che è inevitabile voler divorare pagina dopo pagina. Ho adorato Aaron, che si è dimostrato diverso da come mi aspettavo, eppure mi ha conquistato anche se la sua nomina da duro ha più volte fatto saltare i miei nervi. Nonostante il protagonista indiscusso sia lui, devo dire di aver adorato Dakota, con la sua giovinezza, il suo impegno, la sua sagacia, il suo continuare a mettersi nei guai sena volerlo… ma ho soprattutto adorato la sua passione per la lettura, i romance e il come insieme – i protagonisti – siano riusciti a creare una loro bolla e siano cresciuti. Non vi nego che le scene piccanti non mancano e sono scritte talmente bene che è quasi impossibile non vederle, nonostante siano state semplicemente scritte. Ma questo vale per tutto il romanzo, perché l’autrice è davvero brava a rendere “visibile” quello che mette su carta. Questa è una storia davvero avvincente, ritmata, interessante e anche originale, quindi non posso che dire grazie all’autrice per superarsi ogni volta.

An age gap, slow-burn, sexy book

Erika Vanzin targets all of the feels in “The Producer:Aaron”.

An age gap story that begins with a slow-burn and escalates into a sexy romance that has a lot of heart.

Aaron is strong, powerful and in control of himself and his life as seen by all on the outside. However, on the inside, he is still a boy who wants his fathers respect and approval. It is something he has been working towards his whole life to be able to take the helm of the broadcasting company his father owns. Unfortunately, new ideas don’t go over so well with dear old dad.

Dakota is a young woman who is a highly recognized actress. She can set the small screen fire and her fans adore her. On the flip side, she is not as self assured off camera. She never knows who likes her for herself or if it’s just what she can bring to the table with her money and fame. In her attempt to deal with her peers she takes a sip of alcohol or, in her case, too many sips to help loosen up. She soon finds out that being out of control gives the paparazzi a lot of ammunition and it doesn’t bode with her boss and for her future.

Dakota has had an assistant before but she’s run her off with her childish behavior. It’s time for her to grow up or be fired. Aaron is now given the task of overseeing her actions. She goes to live with him in his Hollywood villa for six months under which no one is to know. All they have to do is survive under the radar and keep out of the paparazzis scrutinizing eyes.

Aaron and Dakota soon find out that they may be sixteen years apart in age but that doesn’t mean they can’t learn from one another. She shows him how to relax and live in the day to day moments while he teaches her how to survive in this great big world while still being true to herself.

This book is about learning who you are, defining who you want to be and taking actions to make it possible.

I received an ARC for an honest review.

[Emily · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh my gosh, this one is hot, hot, hot.

Aaron is the son of a well-known Hollywood Producer and player. Everything Aaron has done thus far has been to run the family business once his father steps down. In the meantime, Aaron has created a name for himself and has done things by his rules. Those rules are well known and have earned Aaron the nickname “The Butcher.” That includes starting a streaming project and division. This venture is proving that he knows what he is doing and doing it without his father’s interference.

The one snag in this production of a third year show is the leading actress, Dakota. She’s young and unfortunately, a snag because of the drinking and showing up in the tabloids for her escapades. While this shouldn’t be an issue theoretically, Aaron’s father now seems to have a serious issue with it and is threatening to shut down his division if he doesn’t get this actress under control.

Aaron has no other choice other than to place the 23 year old starlet in his home, babysitting for a better word, to make certain she stays out of trouble and doesn’t cost him his project. Reluctantly, he goes along with the plan and is soon very surprised by what he finds.

When Dakota shows up at his house, he immediately recognizes there is an attraction but due to the more than ten year age difference between them, he will do everything in his power to keep his distance and make her aware of it as well.

But Dakota is not a typical 23-year old and surprisingly, not the airhead that everyone makes her out to be. As he spends more time with her, he realizes there are a lot of similarities they share and are more kindred spirits than either would have considered.

Dakota is a young woman who has made some mistakes, mostly trusting people she shouldn’t, and that soon comes to a head when things begin to spiral out of control

There is also a secret that could break them both when it is discovered.

Upon the death of Aaron’s father, more secrets are revealed that can tear Aaron and Dakota apart. Will these obstacles keep them apart? Or will it show them both that they need each other and that together they can accomplish what both want and desire?

The Producer: Aaron is another incredible book by the talented Erika Vanzin. While it is not part of her Roadies Series (if you haven’t read them, you need to immediately), this book is part of the next series that has some characters from that series.

This new series, beginning with Aaron is part of The Hunting Club. If this book is any indication of what this new series will be, hang on for one thrilling and deliciously sexy ride. The story is well written, drags you into the world she’s provided and you will find yourself loving every second. Upon receiving this book, I had to read it in one sitting as I would not put it down.

Thank you, Erica for another brilliant story.

[Wendy Williams · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another great read from Erika.
Aaron, the son of a Hollywood producer and tyrant. Aaron has developed a streaming for TV company within his father's business while he waits for his father to retire and leave him the company. His father despises the part of the business his son runs successfully and can't wait for the opportunity to tear it down.
Dakota the very young star of Aaron's most successful show. Lonely and being used by the only "friends" she has, Dakota is earning herself a bad name, showing up on set drunk and making a name for herself in the tabloids because of her bad behaviour off set.
The solution it seems is for her to move into Aaron's house for the remainder of the filming schedule so he can babysit her and make sure she behaves.
As they spend more time together forced or otherwise Aaron discovers that, young as Dakota is, she isn't the silly, brainless, spoilt diva he thought she was. They become more attracted to each other and in spite of a few silly moments she starts to realise there is more to life than staggering through it drunk, and he that there is more to life than work.
It seems Dakota has a secret that may wreck everything they have come to mean to each other and when Aaron's father dies things become so much worse.. Will the two survive the secrets and betrayal or will they have their world torn apart forever.
Erika will have you galloping to the end of the story to find out if the pair can survive the problems other people have thrown into their path. Will it destroy them or make them stronger. Read this amazing book and find out.
You will meet Aaron's brother, who walked away from their father many years before and features in the brilliant Roadies Series that came before this book.
You absolutely need to read this, Erika never fails to deliver amazing reads.
I received this book as an ARC for an honest review.

La storia di Aaron e Dakota mi ha letteralmente conquistata dalle prime pagine, un turbine di emozioni che è stato difficile spiegare nel video, ma che mi sono rimaste impresse per molto.
Erika Vanzin ha la capacità di trovare un equilibrio tra il romanticismo e lo spicy che secondo me non è una cosa da poco, e questa sua combo mi fa impazzire 😍
Insomma un produttore, un'attrice giovane e alle prime armi, una storia proibita che vi farà innamorare di Hollywood sotto ogni punto di vista.

I'm a big fan of age gap romances and thoroughly enjoyed reading this one! It was a slow burn romance that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Aaron is a widely successful producer, but he has the emotional range of a teaspoon. He plays by the rules and get things done. Dakota is the opposite. She's 23 and a party girl, so now Aaron has to babysit her.

I love close proximity and this one delivered. Can't wait to read more from Erika!

The Producer: Aaron is a great age gap romance starring of course Aaron, a very attractive Hollywood producer and Dakota, a younger party girl actress who is getting lots of negative publicity in the tabloids. Aaron is tasked with cleaning up her image by "babysitting" her in his home.

Tension, attraction, steam, secrets all make for a wonderful and meaningful story. The characters are "real" and the storyline is well thought out and expressed.

I love this book!

Lo chiamano “the Butcher” – il macellaio- perché quando è ora di tagliare teste è freddo e spietato. È più facile che dalla sua bocca esca un “sei licenziato!” che non un grazie.
Ma non è solo durezza. In Aaron Steel ci sono sagacia, intelligenza, lungimiranza, senso degli affari e totale dedizione al lavoro, un lavoro che ama davvero: si occupa della divisione streaming dell’azienda cinematografica di suo padre, ma più si impegna, meno il suo talento viene riconosciuto.
E per evitare che la sua divisione venga chiusa, si ritrova a fare da “baby sitter” a Dakota Anderson, stella nascente di Hollywood che ha il brutto vizio di ubriacarsi alle feste dando la peggiore immagine possibile di sé.

Lui crede di dover tenere a bada una ragazzina immatura e superficiale, l’ennesima attrice venuta dal niente che si è persa nello scintillio e nelle tentazioni che la città ha da offrire, e invece si dovrà presto ricredere perché, pur avendo 23 anni (tredici meno di lui) Dakota è una persona tranquilla e molto matura, diversissima dalla star ubriaca immortalata dalle riviste di gossip.
Lei invece pensa di essere stata messa in punizione con un vecchio, noioso maniaco del lavoro; di dover stare per sei mesi in casa di un uomo freddo e spigoloso, comunicativo e divertente quanto un sasso.
La convivenza forzata sarà un bel banco di prova per vedere confermati o per far cadere i pregiudizi l’uno verso l’altra.
Sarà tutt’altro che semplice perché tra loro c’è una corrente inaspettata, sottile e intensissima, sono come poli opposti che non possono fare a meno di attrarsi, al di là delle differenze presunte o reali che ci sono tra loro.
A creare scompiglio ci si metteranno anche Serena – il personaggio più urticante e scroccone mai incontrato prima- e il padre di Aaron- simpatico come il tuo capo che ti revoca le ferie di ferragosto che avevi prenotato a dicembre - e un segreto nel passato di Aaron che fa ancora molto male.
Sarà facile o difficile?Si piaceranno o si detesteranno?
Scopritelo in questo romanzo dove dolcezza e piccantezza sono fuse insieme alla perfezione.


Premetto che non sapevo cosa aspettarmi e quando ho capito che uno dei punti chiave della storia è la differenza d’età dei protagonisti mi sono stupita, data l’ambientazione della storia: siamo a Hollywood e le relazioni tra persone di età anche molto diverse tra loro non è una cosa così inaudita.
Penso a Katherine Zeta Jones e Michael Douglas, o Harrison Ford e Calista Flockhart , per citarne un paio, perciò mi sono chiesta spesso “e qual è il problema?”.
Serve a rendere più tormentato Aaron? Sì.
Serve a “allungare un po’ il brodo”, sì.
È fondamentale? No.
Almeno, per me.
comunque c'è , anche se io non l'ho sentita troppo.

Molto più interessante la figura del padre di Aaron, Mr stronzone Senior ( lo posso scrivere o mi bannano?) , un uomo così meschino, viscido, squallido e crudele che mi ha ricordato un altro padre orrendo: il padre di Jace Campbell di Red Oak Manor ( se avete letto “Wings” di Valentina Ferraro sapete di chi parlo, altrimenti spero di avervi incuriosito!).
O Serena, la classica parassita, ipocrita e sfruttatrice, che avrà quel che le spetta.

Bella l’ambientazione! Aaron io ho problemi col gin tonic, mi ospiteresti per un po’ nella tua “casa” con piscina? 😊
Scherzi a parte è stato interessante entrare negli studi di produzione, nel “dietro le quinte” e vedere com’è la vita dall’altro lato della camera da presa.

Io l’ho trovato un romanzo un po’ lento e prevedibile e avrei voluto qualcosa di un po’ più spumeggiante (ma questo dipende dal momento che sto vivendo!).
Però a volte ci sono momenti in cui servono proprio libri così: rassicuranti e tranquilli, quelli che prendi in mano sapendo esattamente a cosa andrai incontro... e se c’è qualche scena hot, ben venga!

Alcuni dialoghi sono molto carini e mi piace il fatto che si sottolinei che un bel cervello non sostituirà mai un bel paio di tette ( Erika Vanzin lo esprime molto meglio di me, io ho fatto l'estrema sintesi!!).

3 stelle è il mio voto!

Se volete una lettura piacevole, dove ognuno ha quel che si merita e c'è pure una scrittrice dall'identità segreta, questo fa per voi!

Recensione

Storia bellissima e scritta bene! In questa storia vediamo il protagonista che vuole ottenere il posto del padre e la protagonista che dovrà cambiare le sue abitudini da festaiola e quindi la rinascita dei due protagonisti legati dal destino! 5⭐️

Per quanto riguarda Erika posso dire che non si smentisce mai e che riesce come sempre a far percepire al lettore ciò che lei vuole trasmettere attraverso le sue storie e che s’immedesima facilmente nella lettura, scrittura fluida a tratti divertente.

Ora parliamo un po’ del libro

Aaron è un produttore sexy e stacanovista che vuole ottenere l’emittente televisiva del padre, che l’ha sempre sottovalutato e ha sempre voluto che diventasse come lui, ma Aaron ha lottato per renderlo fiero e dimostrargli ciò che sa fare, anche se non hanno mai avuto un bel rapporto.

Dakota è un’attrice, la protagonista di uno degli show televisivi fantasy più in voga! I paparazzi vanno in cerca dei guai che combina, si ubriaca alle feste. Aaron le dovrà fare da babysitter e la convivenza forzata tra loro non sara facile! Come andrà a finire? Come si comporterà Dakota? Per scoprirlo non vi resta che leggerlo…

A presto 😘

I am a huge fan of Erika's rockstar series and here we have an offshoot featuring the hot, sexy, and top mover and shaker in Hollywood producer Aaron in an age gap romance with his employee rising star Dakota. I was totally engrossed in this story right from the start though I wondered for a long time what Aaron's relationship to the Jailbirds was but it all made sense later on in the book and mystery solved.

Aaron is the boss that everyone is terrified of little do they know the struggles that he has with his father who really is a nasty piece of work He will never appreciate Aaron's work no matter what he achieves, it is always never enough, but Aaron is holding out for the ultimate prize when his father dies. Dakota is the young star in Aaron's portfolio, outwardly confident, poised, talented and hardworking but inwardly she lacks confidence and covers it up by getting drunk at parties and becoming fodder for the paparazzi.

Aaron decides to do something totally against his nature but necessary to keep his company and his actress on line, he makes her move into his house so that he can keep an eye on her. Becoming room mates has an amazing but totally unexpected effect on both of them, they both begin to reveal their true selves to each other while the sexual tension grows. Dakota teaches Aaron to relax more and not take his life so seriously and he learns that she is a girl who is wise beyond her years. Dakota also grows and learns that she does not need people around her who use her because of her fame. These two are so good for each other and so sweet together and it was wonderful to watch them connect and grow together. I totally fell in love with Aaron the perfect boyfriend and though I was not a big fan of Dakota in the beginning I came to really like the person she turned into as the story went on.

A well written and entertaining story from Erika, I loved it and am looking forward to the next one in this new series.

Recensione di Monica su CDL BLOG:

Un age gap con un tono lievemente forbidden.

La differenza di età tra i due è un ostacolo che non viene messo particolarmente in rilievo forse perché, nonostante quello che poteva sembrare all'inizio, Dakota si dimostra una ragazza matura.

L’attrazione reciproca è palpabile attraverso le pagine, la tensione sessuale tiene il lettore con il fiato sospeso fin quando, finalmente, le cose non evolvono in positivo. Le scene esplicite sono ben descritte senza mai sfociare nel volgare.

Una storia emozionante che mi è piaciuta molto e ho letto tutta d’un fiato.

Se siete pronti per un viaggio a Hollywood e per scoprire un amore proibito, ma non troppo, allora questa è la storia giusta per voi.

Dakota and Aaron have a hard fought romance. Between the forced living spaces and the age gap, their personalities clash from the beginning.

It takes them a while, but they eventually act on all the sexual chemistry brewing between them regardless of his position of power as the producer of her show. Especially since she was a star before their relationship began.

Overall I definitely liked the characters, and I get the drama behind the father and son relationship, but the overall story was a bit drawn out before concluding.

This was a cute and sexy romance that I enjoyed reading in a few hours. It has a couple of twists, one is rather odd but, meh. It works though and gives the plot something more, the couple has a bit more conflict to work through, and so it gets to be a bit less flat. It's cute, like I've said, and it was a fun, quick read.

Bella scoperta questo libro di Erika Vanzin.
Un Age gap che per me funziona perché Dakota è molto matura per la sua età e c'è, fin da subito, molta sincerità e comunicazione nella coppia.
Questa trasparenza e il non dare peso a turbe di coppia più o meno ingigantite fa sì che ci si possa concentrare anche su un percorso individuale (di Dakota all'inizio e di Aaron alla fine).
Molto curiosa di leggere anche le storie degli altri due personaggi, qui solo vagamente accennati.

It was good. It is an age gap Hollywood, boss/employee romance. Aaron has been a top producer for his father's broadcasting company. Aaron started a streaming franchise under his father's company. Thr streaming franchise's top producing show, Shadows of Hunters, stars Dakota. Dakota has had drunken episodes made public in the gossip magazines. As a way to control her behavior, she is persuaded to move in with Aaron to save her job. They both have preconceived notations of each other but the soon learned their were more. They started a friendship. There was an underlying attraction. They both resisted the attraction because of their jobs and age difference.

It is a cute rom-com. I liked the Dakota and Aaron. Dakota was an old soul that was trying to find her way. Aaron was successful but he emotionally stunted. They bring out thr best in each other.

Quando ho letto la trama di questo libro mi ha conquistata il produttore sexy è wao poi la convivenza forzata con Dakota cioè un attrice che lavora per una sua serie televisiva doveva essere per forza un buon Romance è così è stato .
Sono entrata subito in sintonia con la coppia hanno fatto parte di me fin dall’inizio e questo lo devo ovviamente alla scrittrice perché è stata veramente brava con questo libro.
Il mio personaggio preferito è Dakota che potrebbe essere benissimo una di noi,ama i libri e passa gran parte del suo tempo libero a leggere fantasy.
Aaron invece ,il produttore, è un uomo tutto composto che passa la sua vita a lavorare fino all’arrivo di Dakota 😏
La scrittura è molto fluida ed è di una semplicità unica che sembra di stare all’interno del romanzo , ha un livello di spicy che mamma mia 😦
Lo spicy è perfettamente adattato al romanzo è molto erotico e con il Romance all’interno del romanzo è assolutamente perfetto!
Mi è piaciuto molto il modo di scrivere della scrittrice infatti penso che al Fri prenderò il volume precedente che parla del fratello di Aaron .🤪

Aaron frustrates, when he continues to string Dakota along. This was push & pull, Dakota puts it all out there, Aaron plays it close to his chest. When they get on the same page- explosive! I struggled with the writing style, still a good read.
