I was expecting light, fluffy and sexy with side of unrealism and possessive alpha male, and that\u2019s what I got \u2013 pure romantic escapism!<\/p>\n<p>Brandon is the son of Kat, who married November\u2019s Dad, Mike in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/?p=33574\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Second Chance Holiday<\/a>. Introduced as a moody teen, he is now all grown up, hot as hell, and managing the family\u2019s gentleman\u2019s club. He interviewing for a new employee when Aurora walks into the room and just like that, Brandon experiences the boom!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>If I thought I was a goner just by looking at her, the minute her eyes meet mine\u2026I see it. I feel it. Mine. I don\u2019t know how I know, but fuck, I\u2019ve heard my family all discuss the boom. Every single one of them succumbing to this boom. At first, I didn\u2019t think I would get it, but no? Now, I fucking see it.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Aurora is in a desperate situation, caring for her younger sister following the death of their parents, she needs a job. But she gets a whole lot more than she bargained for when she meets Brandon.<\/p>\n<p>Like the rest of the boys in this series, when Brandon meets <i>the one<\/i>, he knows it instantly, and he has no intention of staying away. Of course he doesn\u2019t freak her out with huge declarations immediately, but he\u2019s calling her \u201cbabe\u201d, being all possessive and acting like a total alpha-in-love from the first moment. So it\u2019s a matter of suspending real life for a bit and just enjoying the pure entertainment value of the story.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>\u201cWhat do you want to know?\u201d she asks me, looking at me. My other hand reaches out to hold her face, rubbing my thumb across her cheek.<br \/>\n\u201cEverything,\u201d I tell her softly. \u201cI want to know everything.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There\u2019s a lot that goes on in this book, and rather than feeling like a novella, it has the feeling of a full-length book in fast forward. Storylines that I wish were explored more, instead just feel like they\u2019re rushed and I had to wonder why they were included in the story when they couldn\u2019t be explored in proper detail. And the love story is SUPER fast moving&#8230; <div class=\"su-spoiler su-spoiler-style-default su-spoiler-icon-plus su-spoiler-closed\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\" data-anchor-in-url=\"no\"><div class=\"su-spoiler-title\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\"><span class=\"su-spoiler-icon\"><\/span>Spoiler<\/div><div class=\"su-spoiler-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\"> they are declaring love and officially living together after 4 days \u2013 even though she and her sister actually moved in with Brandon on day 2 for \u2018safety reasons\u2019.<\/div><\/div>\n<p>But I did enjoy this book.
