Taylor's Review!
I was given an ARC of this book as part of a Blog Tour!
First off! Let me just start by saying that I LOVE Troy! No, he's not perfect, and in the beginning the fact that he pisses Destiny off, pisses me off a little bit too, but I still love him!
This story was a cute, easy, and very light read! Which is quite a nice change from some of the other books I've been reading lately!
This book goes by without a hitch! It was refreshing to not have SO much drama. And I'm an extremely impatient person, so while I'm not a fan of insta love, I loved that Destiny and Troy were able to figure their crap out, get together, and STAY together!
While Destiny and Troy are both adults, they're still pretty young. They have to face, what unfortunately, is a very common occurrence in today's day and age. But they handle it the way I wish everyone would. With Maturity!
I absolutely loved Amy and David as secondary characters! Amy was hilarious, and David was the perfect brother. (My brothers should take lessons!)
The only issue i have with this book is the Insta Love aspect. I'm not a fan of it in any book, and while it works in this book, I always like to see a little more time pass before anyone drops the "L-Word"!
Kudo's on a great Debut Novel Mari! :)

Sigh. That boy has one hell of a smile. I really need to get a grip. I go back to talking to my girl. After finishing my drink, we are ready to hit the dance floor. I let David know where we are headed. He nods his head to acknowledge that he hears me. I know better than to walk off without letting my brother know where I am going.
The girls and I spend the next hour on the dance floor. We decide to break for a round of drinks and make our way back to the bar. No surprise, the guys are still hanging out in the bar room although they have moved to pool. We go up to the bar and all of us order a shot and a beer. We down our shots together at the bar then grabbed our beers and walk over to the pool table.
I am standing there drinking my beer when strong arms circle around my waist. I look over my shoulder to see Troy standing behind me.
I smile, and I don’t know why but the question just pops out of my mouth. “Troy, doesn’t it suck you can’t pick up girls at the party because you are stuck with me?”
A flash of emotion crosses his face before he smirks. “No, because I already hooked up with the most beautiful girl here and plan to take her home with me.”
That makes my stomach do flip-flops. Yep, not good. I am heading into dangerous territory.
I have always loved reading and writing. When I was in the fifth grade I became a published writer (okay so it was the school newspaper). I spent the better part of my teen years writing stories for my friends. Sometime between ages of 16 and 35 life happened and I stopped writing but I never stopped reading. It was only after my grandfather passed away in early 2012 that I decided to go for my dreams and write a novel and self-publish it.
I write under the pen name Mari Brown, which is just a play on my real name. I am happily married to my own alpha/ former bad boy male, we have been together for 18 years. We have a 17 year old daughter and two sons ages 15 and 14. We have 3 dogs and 2 cats. There is never a dull moment around my house. We live on the beautiful Gulf Coast of Alabama.
In addition to writing I am also co-owner of Keepin’ It Real Book Blog, where I share my love of reading other Indie Authors.
