Oh My God i totally freaking loved this book ,start to finish it was awesome !
I am so so in love with Matt (pretty sure i melted more then once) holy crap he’s hot,funny and totally sweet and dirty ! i loved him ,when he hooks up with Mia at his brothers wedding i was dying (it was so hot) and now that it’s 2 years later and they are only now giving in to their attraction (i don’t have the same will power as them,i would have giving in a long time go!) when Matt tries to convince Mia that he actually wants a relationship with her (i was swooning so freaking hard) but she totally just thinks he’s a player which is fair but also unfair (don’t judge a book by it’s cover and all that) but he’s stubborn and refuses to give up the moment it gets hard and i loved that he wanted to fight for them ,i mean when you find your person you just know and it was great to see that he told Mia every step of the way what he wanted ,yeah it took her freaking forever to believe him but she got there eventually.
I really enjoyed Mia ,she is funny and she says whatever the hell pops into her head (i can relate ) and i was laughing every time that did the whole push and pull thing ,it was only a matter of time before they got into each others pants and did the horizontal tango (wink wink) and boy we’re they lighting the pages on fire and setting off all the smoke alarms ! whew its getting hot in here just thinking about them 🙂 i totally get why she had doubts about Matt but he was trying so hard for her to believe in them and she was a real buzz kill at times ,i mean Matt can’t change his past and i don’t think you should hold it against him because he got around before he started dating Mia ,i mean we all have pasts ! but i get Mia’s doubt go deeper after what her father did to her mother ,once she see’s how empty her life feels after Matt keeps his distance she finally comes to her senses and tells him how much he means to her and i loved everything about them ,they make such a great couple 🙂
I love all the side characters too ! this was the first book by B.J. Harvey that i have read and it will not be the last because i can’t wait to get my hands on all her other books 🙂
The sexual tension between these two was off the charts hot! They were attracted to each other and the heat just kept rising. If you are looking for a book that will put a smile on your face, you NEED to read this book. I literally laughed out loud many times reading this book. The wonderful way this book is written is rather incredible! Real, honest, flawed characters…you want to know. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the books in this series.
This book is so good because it has good descriptions of what things would feel like if you did them.
Great read
Everything about this book will have you hooked, the cover is stunning and the blurb had me intrigued and ready to spend some time with these characters.
Those who have read and are familiar with BJ Harvey’s ‘Bliss’ series will realise that this is a new spin off series. If your note familiar with BJ Harvey’s work that’s ok cause this Romance Comedy will have you laughing, swooning and cheering for this couple.
The first book in the series brings us Matt Taylor and Mia Roberts. Both of these characters are unable to avoid the attraction between them both. I really loved the banter between Matt and Mia.
Matt Taylor, is the younger brother to Noah Taylor (Bliss Series). Matt was well know in the Bliss series because of his scratch n’ stiff technique. Noah was the original walking dildo and it shows that just cause Matt is the younger brother doesn’t mean he is small either… Matt is
Mia Roberts is the little sister to Zander (Bliss Series) Mia knows all about Matt’s reputation for being the player. You see, Matt’s brother Noah married Mia’s sister Zoe.
Matt had no choice when it came to falling in love, even though he had no intention of being in a relationship let alone a commitment one women relationship. But when you find the one, everything changes. From the beginning you could see that Matt and Mia were perfect for each other and in the end all ended as it should, despite the drama along the way.
Two years ago Matt and Mia shared a moment I s closet at a wedding, and since then Matt hasn’t been able to get Mia out of his head. But now nothing is going to stand in his way, things are going to get complicated with the connections these two share.
I loved Matt, I felt bad for him that so many people didn’t see him as mature or worthy. I loved how he jumped into the whole deal with Mia, never second guessing himself, he knew what he wanted and he went after it. He just needed to show Mia that he was worth it.
Mia. What can I say about Mia that can justify her behaviour in this book. It was obvious that she had some issues when it came to commitments, afraid of repeating the same mistakes her mother made. Falling for Matt, the very definition of man-whore wasn’t the greatest idea she’s ever had. I didn’t love Mia, but I didn’t hate her either, she is a character that just needs a little more love, patience and understanding. I think i could understand her insecurities to make sense of her behaviour.
I loved getting to see the characters from the Bliss series. But what I really loved the most was watching Matt Taylor fall head over heels in love with the one woman that could give him a hell of a run for his money.
I love B.J. Harvey’s books!!
I loved the plot, characters created, the banter between all the characters and the chemistry between Matt and Mia was fun and steamy.
I loved Matt’s character and at times wanted to reach through the pages and hug the poor guy because he was judged by so many and he was doing everything to prove himself and that he had changed.
Mia, I struggled with a little she was very judgmental and I felt at times she needed to step back and look in the mirror before she judged Matt.
This book can be read as a standalone and is told in the POV of Matt and Mia.
This is the first book in a new series of romantic comedy from this talented author. Matt is the typical playboy one night stand scenario, and Mia has a commitment phobia. Can these two deny the intense chemistry between them? This is a well written story which is humorous, sexy, sweet, and with witty / sarcastic banter. I was intrigued and hooked from the start, and look forward to reading more from this author whose work I recommend for all.
4 1/2 stars! This was a super fun, super sweet and super sexy story! I really like Matt and Mia and how much getting together changed the both of them, even if Mia took a little longer to get on board. They have so much chemistry that actually takes on a life of its own and there is no denying they are meant to be together. I enjoyed all the characters and feel they enhanced the story.
I loved this book, there were laugh out loud moments, lots of sexy times and times I was in tears.
I really did feel for Matt, yes he was a player but there comes a point when you need to open your heart and give him a chance.
I found Mia’s distrust annoying I know she had her walls up but she needed to trust her instincts that Matt wasn’t jerking her around.
Luckily Matt didn’t give up and was willing to fight for her.
I was never big on ‘player’ stories but this one had me! Love fought for a chance in this story! Tugs on your heart!
Mía is the type of girl that doesn’t date and Matt is a notch above the bed kind of guy. Passion and lust turns into love. He loves and she learns to trust.
I love this book!
Unnecessary narration……….disappointing.
Did not like this book.
Matt and Mia are both players. Half of Mia’s friends and their friends “have at least rounded a few bases with him” and she’s no angel either – instead of the walk of shame she does a “slut strut”. They are in each other’s outer circles having relatives in common (not close relatives, that would just be gross) so when “Kissgate” happened at a wedding we just knew good things were to come.
I was unaware that there are so many terms to be used for lady parts. I actually started to highlight them so I could bring them up at book club (I’m kidding, those ladies at book club would be all – ohhh Maura we don’t discuss our lady parts and I’d be all like – but come on, did you know you can actually say to a friend “Just go part the pink sea and have a one-finger hate-hug with your vagina” hahaha).
This is actually a sweet romance at the heart of it all. Sure she’s a jerk and judges him for his past. Sure he’s a bonehead who doesn’t always communicate as smoothly as he should. In the end, it’s all about the feelings. This is a funny, sensitive story that has open door sex scenes, large extended families and lots and lots of love.
I look forward to reading the rest of the books in the series.
Loved this book…. couldn’t put it down
Predictable and frustrating.
