Series: The Sublime #5
Author: Julia Wolf
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: 18 October 2018
She's a busy lawyer whose life has just been flipped upside down. He's an ex-soldier whose heart has just been broken. They're perfect strangers, and now they're roommates too.
Sometimes I'm a hot mess. There's no debating that. But I'm trying to get my life together, starting with my fixer upper house.
How did I end up with a tall, devilishly handsome Israeli roommate? I couldn't actually tell you. Avi steamrolled into my life, and I kind of liked it.
He's a flirt, but we have a contract and rule number one is no sex. Which is a good thing, because as attractive as he is, he's just putting his broken heart back together, and I'm not looking to be his rebound.
Only it seems our contract isn't worth the pink highlighter and paper it's written on since Avi's never met a rule he didn't want to break.
| When I started reading this I did not realise it was the final book in a series. At a push this could be read as a standalone as I did but there was a constant feeling of missing something as the group of friends discussed things that had happened. However the couple this book focuses on, Laurel and Avi were so not what I was expecting. Avi was a little hard to understand at first with his brash then childlike hurts. Once the storyline got going though when the pair become roommates the connection started to build and by the end I was loving this relationship and I adored Avi. Laurel was a bit love shy after a disastrous work affair but she quickly sorts her head out and allows herself to fall for Avi. I liked that Avi was not your typical American alpha hero and I loved the addition of the Israeli traditions and cultures. Nice touch and endeared Avi even more to me. If you have been a fan of this series and already know all the other couples then the ending would have been an added bonus with epilogues for each couple. I myself found this detracted from Laurel and Avi’s HEA and it impacted on my final thoughts of the book. I just wished I had known it was a series before I started it and I know I would have enjoyed so much more by knowing the other couples. Therefore I suggest you read the series. Overall though an enjoyable read and a four star rating for me. *ARC kindly provided by the author to Foxylutely |
