The blurb for this book series really caught my eye. Athena has to come up with a article for her column and is having a major case of writers block but thanks to some time out with her friends she has her idea. Athena will date a new guy for a month for a whole year and write an article about each man she’ll never know their real names just the numbers 1-12 in Spanish and in return the men won’t know her name or that she’s writing the articles. This was Mr. Uno he is a gorgeous specimen of a man a smooth talker, player type also dominate. I enjoyed the story but I felt the ending came kind of abruptly, I wanted more dates and time spent together. I give it three stars.- By Tiffany
I liked how Anthea and her friends came up with the idea for her article. Mister Uno was the perfect start for her articles.
Mister Uno is a short, fun read and I can’t wait to see how the rest of the series will go. I love the storyline and the leading character, Anthea, she is super relatable. She and her best friend, Pip came up with an idea that is totally different to save her job.
Mr. Uno is first up on Anthea’s adventure!!
Honestly, this story was just not for me personally. Though I realize it was a short story, it still felt choppy and fell flat for me. The writing is not bad. The premise is very intriguing! But for me personally, when I’m reading a short story, I think I expect it to jump off the pages at me, packing a huge punch within its few pages. I felt so little for the characters and found them lackluster and forgettable. The first few chapters (up until she met Mister Uno) were the best in my opinion. Again, I just do not think this was for me personally though you may love it. I encourage you to check it out for yourself. Belle Brooks is a really wonderful author and I love so many of her previous works. I look forward to reading her future releases!
Although Mr Uno is much shorter than expected I am intrigued by the concept and the stories that will be unfolding. Looking forwards to Mr Dos.

Anthea has one day to come up with a fantastic article or she’s fired. She loves her job but has a severe case of writers block. When she allows alcohol and her girls invade her mind she comes up with the ultimate story idea. 12 men, 12 months no names.
With this new article taking root it’s time for Anthea to meet Mr. Uno.
The premise behind this book series is good but the execution fell flat for me. I feel like it was rushed and needed more. All in all it was good and hope that the next story will fill in some of the gaps.
