Adalyn Sage.I’m thirty-seven, a mother, a divorcee, and I’m ready to date again.I need a man willing to love me for who I am, despite what size I am. Only finding such a guy is harder than it’s cracked up to be. Afterall, I’m a little clumsy and just a tad outspoken… that is unless I’m in front of a man so good-looking my panties melt. Then I become an absolute weirdo.Case in point: Vice … in point: Vice Salvatore. Stunning. Growly. And also my boss.
Thank God his a**hole attitude put my racing heart at ease and changed my lust to hate.
Nope. I don’t care for him. Won’t. I’ll continue to ignore my ladybits and stay strong.
At least… for a while.

I love this author’s writing style. She never fails to hold your attention from the start of the book until the end. Be ready to laugh until you cry. This romantic comedy has the perfect blend of humor and sexy hotness with such a realistic feel to it. A single mom with a cheating ex, Addy is a sweet and funny heroine who at times finds herself in awkward moments. Vice is the perfect alpha male with his dreamy characteristics but can be a bit irritating. Their chemistry together is swoon worthy. Loved it!!! Definitely would recommend reading. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy.
I must say I love this author’s work. Every book I read of hers has me smiling while reading, and this book was no different.
The way Adalyn’s thoughts jumped all over the place had me smiling because it reminded me of how my mind works sometimes, jumping from one thought to another and not always relevant to one another.
I can’t wait to read more from this author.
Lila Rose is a new author to me and after reading Making Sense I’m wondering why I haven’t read any of her other books, this book was the perfect read, it’s witty, it’s fun and it has some great characters that you can’t help falling in love with.
Adalyn Sage is a single mum who’s life is all about bringing her son up and trying to get her own jewellery business off the ground but she needs some extra income so she takes a part time job that fits in with school hours at a local adults only shop ( now I know that made you giggle)and this is where she meets Vice Salvatore what she doesn’t realise is the man who has made her stumble and fumble is her boss. Vice decides he wants to be part of Adalyns life and he starts by firing her from the shop and giving her a job as his temporary assistant, can he convince her to take a chance on another man or will Adalyn run for the hills…….
This book has some hilarious laugh out loud moments as well as some giggles along the way, the characters are brilliant and the storyline is believable what more can you want from a book, well this book does have more, it’s not just a funny read it’s a love story that takes you on a journey of a single mum not sure about dating again and a little boy who is desperate for a man in his life, once you add in the extremely hot Vice you have the perfect read. Can’t wait to read more from this author, if you love Rom-Coms this book is a must read.
All the stars!
Oh my goodness y’all!
I had tears running down my face from laughing so hard at Making Sense. I was so loud I woke my kids up . I couldn’t help it though, Making Sense is so adorably awkward. I am still laughing at some of the antics between Vice and Addy. This book was so perfect. The writing was spectacularly funny, the characters (all of them) will have you rolling, and the banter between everyone? Perfection. Absolute comedy perfection. There wasn’t a character I hated, except maybe Cammy. Everyone else was awesome!
Addy is a divorced single mom working at a sex shop to make ends meet. A chance encounter with the owner of the company sparks a love/hate relationship with Addy. Vice is a hot single guy who instantly likes Addy. He doesn’t show it though. Bring in sisters, a scheming son, a mom who is trying to help her daughter get some, and a bathroom and we’ve got one of the funniest books I’ve ever read. Addy’s son Drew really helped this book soar. This wasn’t a story that puts the kids in the background and focuses on the adults falling in love. Drew was front and center and a big part of the story. We get to see them both fall in love with Vice, and Vice fall in love with them both.
This book will make you swoon and then fall on your ass laughing. Like mid swoon you fall over because Addy does an awkward thing! I love everything about this book and really need more Lila Rose books in my library!
Based on Adalyn Sage and Vice Salvatore’s first interaction and his opinion on what he finds ‘lacking’ with Adalyn, I had no idea how Lila Rose would get me to like the broody jackass. Like Adalyn, I was confused by Vice’s hot and cold treatment of her, and how that equated into Vice having feelings for Adalyn since readers’ first impression of Vice wasn’t one that seemed to direct readers to that realization or to the fact that he was likable in the least.
I’m glad that Rose provided readers with insight into Vice’s true feelings and the fact that readers get his perspective at pivotal times helps to not want to throat punch him, but I’ll admit…it took me a bit to get past his initial treatment; I needed Vice to prove himself, and eventually, I grew to appreciate what he did for not only Adalyn but her 9 year old son, Drew, as well.
I adored Adalyn from the start. For a 37 year old divorcee, I love that she feels comfortable in her own skin, and while her ex’s behavior could have broke her in a number of ways, especially his cheating and his comments about her weight, she fights through the pain and focuses on her son and herself, which illustrates just how strong of a woman she is.
Adalyn is a heroine who a lot of readers will relate to, but I do have to say, that some might find her a bit annoying due to the way she reacts like a befuddled girl around good looking men. But to me, Adalyn is adorable in her awkwardness…in her flustered inner monologues…in her moments of muttering and rambling. Adalyn is also a great mom and person who genuinely cares for people and she deserves every happiness in life, and for some reason, even with Vice’s initial mistreatment, he becomes what she wants and Vice takes the steps to prove the man he truly is and what he truly wants with Adalyn.
Making Sense is a funny and sweet story with a bit of steam once Adalyn and Vice get on the same page. Adalyn is a realistic heroine whose humorous idiosyncrasies and the laugh out loud situations she finds herself in makes for entertaining scenes and because there really isn’t any external drama, readers can focus on Adalyn finally finding a man who loves her for who she is, which is what every woman deserves!
3.5/4 Poison Apples (The Fairest of All Book Reviews)
As always, with a Lila Rose book, you can expect certain things. An Alpha man that knows what he wants, and will do whatever it takes to get it. A strong woman, that is sure of who she is, and has a good heart. And lots of laughs!
Adalyn is a single mother, making her way in the world, doing what it takes to support her family, while trying to get her own business off the ground. She is a great mother, daughter, and friend. Vice is her boss. He is HOT! But he is also exasperating, irritating, and annoying! Adalyn just can’t quite get past that initial attraction, and that makes her feel uncomfortable around him.
Vice is sure of what he wants. He wants Adalyn. I love how sure of himself he is, and how supportive of her he is. There interactions are so real, I can just picture them while they are happening.
This was a fantastic book, and I laughed throughout. It has to be one of the funniest rom-coms that I’ve read in a long time. It is definitely one that I will recommend to anyone looking for a light, refreshing read!
All the stars!
