July - Book Review

By Audrey Carlan

Synopsis

Hip-hop, Miami heat, and the Latin Lov-ah.

The second half to this year-long journey has taken me to Magic City…Miami. I’ve been hired by the nation’s top hip-hop artist, Anton Santiago. His name is as sexy as he is, and it rolls off the tongue the same way his muscled form rolls to his music. He goes by the name Latin Lov-ah, and boy does he work that title from his rock-hard body, Latin hip-hop fusion dance moves, to the way he beds his women.

He’s raw, dirty, and one hundred percent player…and I want to wrap my naked body all over him and forget about everything.

Every word that comes out of his mouth is a siren’s song.

Every thrust of his hips draws me closer.

Every breath against my neck sends me into a tailspin of need and desire.

After what happened in June, I need to rip the bandage off. Move on. Anton could be just the thing I need to get my groove back.

I was hired to play the part of a seductress in Anton’s new music video, but, in the end, I’m the one being seduced.

Review

I felt that JULY was a perfect way to come off from JUNE; we needed something mostly fun and light hearted after the seriousness of the previous month. Mia is still coming to terms with her attack and she’s having a hard time of it. She suffers from flashbacks and panic attacks when her latest client, Anton, touches her unexpectedly, yet in a friendly way that she would have previously been fine with, returned even. Anton and his employees are really good about her situation though, being supportive and doing their best to help her feel safe when being touched by a man. Her fear lessens even more after she shares her story with her BFF, Ginelle, and Wes. Yes, Wes is back. And it’s about friggin’ time. How will they go over the next five months? I’m not sure but I guess we’ll find out. I can’t wait to read AUGUST; the excerpt at the end has me really intrigued, trying to figure out who the client is and how it will affect Mia.
