Aiden Walsh has just pulled up to Colton Chastain's estate for his wedding instead of being at home watching ESPN. He pulls behind a Toyota Rav4 which stands out since all the other cars are worth over 100g and watches as two black women exit. The older woman has on a red overcoat while the younger woman is dressed totally in black, including a large black hat. She looks as if she was attending a funeral instead of a wedding.
When the older woman limps to the younger woman and pulls the hat off her head he discretely rolls his window down fascinated by their interaction and weird boxing jabs. She is obviously not happy to be attending the wedding with her mother and is unimpressed when she is told to smile because rich football players would be there. The mother definitely had her sports mixed up unless Colton also invited a football team to his wedding.
Reminding her daughter Jeannie not to embarrass her they head inside. When he follows them he overhears the mother telling her she is going to check out the men and find her daughter a man since she has given up. Jeannie just rolls her eyes and sits in one of the chairs assembled for the wedding guests and further intrigues him when she pulls out a book.
A big man sits across the aisle from her and she can feel his eyes on her. With his long dirty blond hair and brown eyes, he looks like a displaced Viking ready to kill and pillage. The last place she wanted to be was at a wedding acting as her mother's chauffeur and her ex-husband and her friend's betrayal made sure that the last thing needs or is looking for is a man.
But as her mother brings every single black man at the huge wedding in her direction she grabs his hand and they hit the dance floor. If nothing else, she can use him to avoid her mother and her matchmaking.
I loved this book! It is very well written and the characters are fully developed and relatable. OMG! Jeannie's mother cracks me up and I can't help but laugh when Jeannie deliberately calls Aiden a coach of every sport but basketball.
This book is action-packed from page one and will keep you turning the pages waiting for Jeannie to realize her joke is actually the truth and wondering what her stalker ex will do next.
This is a slow-burn romance that will burst your Kindle in flames once Aiden takes himself out of the friend zone. Although not stated this is part of the Take series and all of the characters from the previous books are actively part of this book. I can actually see an enemies-to-lovers story happening but will have to see if that is the direction Evelyn Sola is going next.
I highly recommend this multicultural romance and can't wait to see what comes next!
