Synopsis

Readers asked for it, and JC Valentine has delivered!

Life has thrown me a few curveballs…
But nothing as sexy or devastating as Alejandro.
I never thought I’d see him again, but fate has seen fit to give us another chance.
Maybe this time we’ll get it right. Maybe this time he’ll stay.
Or perhaps my heart is about to be irrevocably shattered.
One way or another, our lives are about to change.
Only time will tell if it’s for better or worse, but one thing is certain…
Alejandro is a force to be reckoned with…maybe even best to be avoided.
But when it comes to matters of the heart, sometimes there’s no reasoning.
Sometimes…it’s pure instinct.

Taking a chance on him is like playing Russian roulette—it’s dangerous…foolish…and likely to kill me.
But what’s life without a little risk?

Review

Mami is the continuation of the story of Julie and Alejandro and picks up where Papi ended with Alejandro outside her house.

Julie is taking a chance on her long distance romance after having a lifetime of making do with what she had. She is now finalising her divorce from her ex and pushing herself forward to let fate decide for her future with Alejandro. When a surprise incident happens it seems that fate is favouring their relationship.

I loved Papi and thought it was very sexy and atmospheric read especially with Alejandro and his sexy accent. This one though it seemed more about Julie and her ex and a lot of the dialogue was about her relationship with him and in parts seemed as if she was gloating at getting back at him. I would have much preferred more dialogue between Julie and Alejandro. He was also missing for the most part of the storyline. There were important moments that happened off page such as Alejandro’s first time in her house and then meeting the children. On the other hand the more mundane everyday things were explained in minute detail.

I liked that the story portrayed Julie’s uncertainty about her future with Alejandro and her temptation to do things she didn’t want to do but for the sake of the kids.

I loved Alejandro and would have loved to have found out more about his background and his life back home. Then again he wouldn’t be the sexy stranger that I found all the more enticing I guess.

There was a nice little epilogue at the ending that tied everything up so I was glad we didn’t have to wait for another novella to see how it panned out. Three and a half stars.
