Book Review 4: Sex, Not Love by Vi Keeland (Spoiler Alert)
This is my first review of Vi Keeland's book here in Steemit though I've already read a lot of her books before. This book has 250 ebook pages. It tells a story of Hunter Delucia and Natalia. They first met in a wedding of Anna (Natalia's best friend) and Derek (Hunter's best friend). Attraction immediately sparked between them and Hunter had been very vocal and frank with Natalia in telling her that he want to explore the physical chemistry between them. Although Natalia was attracted to Hunter, she kept on avoiding him by giving him her wrong number. Natalia had learned from her past relationship not to trust and be swooned by charming, cocky and gorgeous men so she tried to keep on avoiding Hunter.
But, they met again at the birth of Anna and Derek's baby where Natalia accidentally gave Hunter her mother's number when he again asked. Natalia was surprised to see Hunter showing up on her mother's Sunday dinner when he took a work assignment in New York City where Natalia lives. Hunter has won her family's approval as well as that of her stepdaughter who she currently has the temporary custody because her ex-husband was imprisoned.
Natalia finally agreed to have a relationship with Hunter where they agreed for just a sexual relationship with no strings attached. But, they were not able to fool themselves and finally fell in love with each other. However, Hunter has a secret on why he does not want to consider a long-term relationship with Natalia. His mother died young because of Huntington's disease and such genetic disease was passed on to his brother who ended his own life eventually because such disease left him useless.
However, since this is a romance novel, Hunter finally decided to subject himself to a test and he was tested negative of Huntington's disease and finally he lives happily ever after with Natalia.
This story is typical of Vi Keeland's works with both sexy characters falling in love and have to overcome some hurdles along the way that usually come from their complicated secrets or problems with past relationships. What is great about Vi Keeland's works just like this one is that her writing style will actually engage you in her story and will allow you to feel the emotions that are going around her characters struggles and successes.
If you are a romance novel reader, you will find this book addicting and swoon worthy and you can actually finish it fast in one reading. Vi Keeland definitely did not let me down on my expectations of her writing style on this one.
Not so much romance novels new releases this time, so I am still looking for my next read. Thank you for reading my review.
