Review:
She inherited her mother’s business but she has dreams of
her own. Mandisa is head strong but never gets the chance to let go. Slade is straight
up Southern Charm after all everything is bigger in Texas. This story started
off as insta-lust. You know the girl meets boy in bar they hook up and BOOM.
Except this boom has strings attached. These two share more in common than just
a physically attraction. Slade wants to buy out Sweet Sadie ( Mandisa cosmetic
line), this is her chance to pursue other things but Slade has raised the
stakes and offered more than just a business proposal. I loved how the author
showed Slade’s background and we got to meet Mama Indy. I will say Mama Indy is
like that sweet grandmother that doesn’t play games.
This story contained so many relatable characters that as a
reader you wanted to know. Kandi was Mandisa best friend and didn’t mind
checking her friend when needed. I for one cannot wait to read more of her and
Aaron’s story.
Although Mandisa and Slade have this instant attraction he
still has to earn her trust. I loved getting to see these two grow as
characters. This is a romance thrown in with a little drama. I won’t give too
much away but, Bull is a character who names suites him. I loved how the author
had a message in this story and the issue of representation in cosmetics is
BIG. This story was fully fleshed and the characters developed. I do wish more
from the ending. This story didn’t quite feel finished to me. I felt more from
the characters was needed. Hopefully they will make an appearance in the next
story. Readers if you are looking for a quick read with a hint of drama, CLICK
