We’re
not quite sure about this one. There are enough things to like in it and many
that we totally hate. Amongst things to like are multiracial characters who are
not physically amazing-bodied goddesses, well-realised characters and sweet
kids.
Julia and Reed meet during a holiday in Hawaii. Julia is
vacationing with her two besties and Reed is there with her twin daughters. The
attraction is instant and hot. They decide to pursue a
no-expectations-attached-with-great-sex relationship. But then, emotions make
an entry and it doesn’t remain no-expectations any more. The relationship falls
in a vague zone of insta-love and slow-burn.
MC
Julia Maguire is a perfect romance heroine. The other MC, Reed Baxter, is
everything we dislike in a romantic pairing; a completely non-giving, creating
unnecessary angst type of person. The chemistry and sex is wonderful. The
unfollowed and unfinished plot line with Julia’s best friends, Kate and Mo is aggravating. The four-year old twins are
precocious but cute. Julia’s constant giving Reed chances that she does nothing
to deserve is upsetting.
Like we said, we are not quite sure about this one, so while we
don’t scream ‘keep away’ we can’t say ‘definitely pick it up’ either.
