Book: Getting Lucky With Luciano
Author: Kelley Nyrae
Publisher: Parker Publishing
Genre: Interracial
I've wanted to read this book for a minute now. Something about it just drew me in. And then finally, I got the chance to read it. About a third of the way through some of my enthusiasm fled for I mistakenly thought this book was going to evolve into one big cliché...but I'm glad I kept reading because the book was so much more than I thought it'd be. Yes, there is a feisty heroine. Yes, there is an alpha hero. Yes, there is angst, but there is also real life. This book is about consequences; this book is about friendship; this book is about forgiveness.
The heroine reminded me of so many women who go through life wearing the superhero cape ... and with good reason. Privy to her pain and her past the reader knows that it's going to take a special man to get her to take it off. It was going to take a man like Luciano - a man who wore his own superhero cape. Not only can he cook his fine azz off; he is a man who is honorable. His honor is evident by the way he cares for his family, the way he loves his mama, the way he loves the heroine enough to put his desires last. Not only does he speak the world's most beautiful language - he speaks truth just as passionately as he makes love. And oh, does this man make love ... not just with his touch but with his eyes, with his words, with his food. There is a lovemaking scene that took my breath away and I cried right along with the heroine. I cried with her because in that moment you see Luciano for what he is: a man in love and you see the heroine for what she is: a woman who is hurting... a woman who is vulnerable ... a woman who is loved the way it is written about in fairy tales.
I enjoyed the book... 4 out of 5
