I.M. Flippy

*A free copy of the book was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review via the MMRG Don't Buy My Love program.*

Sonny and Jay's love is like an earthquake! Not necessarily earth-shattering, but not destructive either, and there was definitely some tectonic movement. ;)

It's a sweet and moderately steamy, slow burn romance with my favorite things: shy glances and tentative touches. The characters are diverse: Jay is probably Latino and Sonny is a black man.

It's written in third person past tense and dual POV. There wasn't much dialogue in this story, at least at the beginning. But it's interesting how a writing style works for a story, but it doesn't work for another. Here, the lack of dialogue didn't bother me much. Probably because this style fit the MC's personalities.

"You feel everything so much. More than most. You don't show it, but I see it, Jay-bird."

Both of them are uncertain and a bit awkward and Jay is also a bit aloof and shy. The secondary characters are well-developed. I loved Pops!!

The writing is good, but it needs a bit more tightening. I encountered a few sentences here and there, that felt out of place, just thrown in there without transition. It's not perfect, but other than a few repetitions, and minor grammatical errors I didn't catch anything major that would've thrown me off.

There was a bigger time jump in the middle of the story. But NOT like 2 months later... and we were completely missing what happened in that time... No.
It was just not a detailed description. More like a summary of the 2 months. That, I didn't like.

Overall I enjoyed it, even teared up a bit, cause it was beautiful. Feeelz! :)
3.5 stars and I probably will check out other works by the author.

And ohmygod geez the coverr! ;D Now I get it! Awww!… (altro)
