Making Sense by Lila Rose Review

4.5 SMOOCHES!

SYNOPSIS:

Adalyn Sage.

I’m thirty-seven, a mother, a divorcee, and I’m ready to date again.
I need a man willing to love me for who I am, despite what size I am. Only finding such a guy is harder than it’s cracked up to be. Afterall, I’m a little clumsy and just a tad outspoken… that is unless I’m in front of a man so good-looking my panties melt. Then I become an absolute weirdo.

Case in point: Vice Salvatore. Stunning. Growly. And also my boss.
Thank God his a**hole attitude put my racing heart at ease and changed my lust to hate.

Nope. I don’t care for him. Won’t. I’ll continue to ignore my ladybits and stay strong.

At least for a while.

 

REVIEW:

I loved Lila Rose’s first romantic comedy, Making Changes, so I was excited to get my hands on Making Sense. I was truly impressed with her ability to shift gears from the MC romances that she’s known for into a totally different trope. She did an amazing job, and she’s a natural. This series, while standalone novels, center on a group of friends, and although it is not necessary to read Making Changes before Making Sense, you really don’t want to miss that story—it was fantastic.

Like Making Changes, Making Sense features a curvy heroine. A single mom in her late thirties, Addy is divorced from her cheating ex-husband and is trying to jumpstart her jewelry business while also working a side job as a clerk in an adult store. Vice Salvatore is the owner of the store where she works, and their first meeting, at least for Addy, did not go well. For Vice, however, it was an altogether different experience.

Vice fell hard and fast for Addy, and he made moves to put her in his orbit after that meeting. Addy was hilarious with her nervous flustering in the presence of this sexy man. While she is happy with where she is in her life, and she’s comfortable in her own skin, she has a bit of trouble, at least at first, grasping the concept that Vice could be interested in her. He does a great job convincing her of his interest, and these two made a solid, loving couple that it was easy to root for once she got over that hump. One of the things I loved most about this couple was lack of external drama and the maturity with which they handled the problems that did arise. I really liked how they dealt with everything together instead of turning on each other.

Lila Rose has done it again with another fabulous romantic comedy.  I smiled from ear-to-ear, I swooned, I blushed, and I loved every single word of Making Sense! I love this group of friends, I love these romances, and I love the humor she builds into these stories. Whether you’re new to this author or a fan of her MC romances, her romantic comedies are absolutely not to be missed.  Making Sense by Lila Rose gets 4.5 smooches from me!

There are three things you need to know about Kat Tanner (aka Kathleen Tyson. . . and yes, she is *that* Kathleen Tyson): 1) She’s determined to make good decisions, 2) She must get married ASAP, and 3) She knows how to knit.

Being a billionaire heiress isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. In fact, it sucks. Determined to live a quiet life, Kat Tanner changed her identity years ago and eschewed her family’s legacy. But now, Kat’s silver spoon past has finally caught up with her, and so have her youthful mistakes. To avoid imminent disaster, she must marry immediately; it is essential that the person she chooses have no romantic feelings for her whatsoever and be completely trustworthy.

Fortunately, she knows exactly who to ask. Dan O’Malley checks all the boxes: single, romantically indifferent to her, completely trustworthy. Sure, she might have a wee little crush on Dan the Security Man, but with clear rules, expectations, and a legally binding contract, Kat is certain she can make it through this debacle with her sanity—and heart—all in one piece.

Review

Penny Reid is just a master storyteller. SHe writes books I didn’t know I needed. I finished Marriage Of Inconvenience in just a day, which I think I deserve a medal for since it was long even by Penny Reid standards. By the end, I was in awe of her ability to not only come up with unique characters and storylines but to make me feel like they’ve always been a part of my life.

Marriage Of Inconvenience is a slow burn story despite the two getting married early on. Kat and Dan have some amazing chemistry. Speaking of Dan, I loved that foul-mouthed man so freaking much. He was protective, sweet, while still being all manly and alpha. He was the bee’s knees.

This was such a fun read and it reminded me why I love this quirky series so so so much!

Review

Aurora Rose Reynolds’ Until series is an addiction for me. I can always count on her to bring the heart, the action, and an alpha man that makes my heart go pitter-patter.

Harmony and Harlen are all of that and so much more. Harmony has recently moved home to take a new job as a nurse in the local hospital. Now that she’s back she’s back in the sights of the intimidating biker who always seems to set her heart racing. Now that she’s home he has her sights set on making her his. But trouble always follows a Mayson girl around and Harmony is no exception.

Harlen is HOT and Harmony is sweet. But what surprised me was how kind, caring, and patient Harlen was. He comes off all gruff biker, but, for his girl, he shows his soft side. I loved that. This story was an easy read but an exciting read. Once I started I just could not stop. If you are an alpha man lover than this is one not to miss!

Greyson Ratcliffe. I met him at sixteen, the hot new guy sitting on my jetty, an aspiring artist just passing through. He was my first kiss and my first love. I wanted forever with him. I didn’t even get a year.

Five years later, I’m a budding writer who scripts stories of love and struggle, the good and the bad and the ups and the downs. He’s a star on the rise; his wicked talent and crazy good looks have his face plastered on countless magazines. We move in two different worlds and still our paths cross again. We’re older and wiser and as crazy about each other as we had been as teenagers.

My medium is words and my imagination is limitless, but not even I could have written the incredible journey we traveled to reach our happily-ever-after. Life isn’t like fiction, and the greatest love stories don’t follow a script.

KAYLA
My infatuation with Ezra Johnson started how all obsessions begin—with a simple crush. Over the years I silently soaked up every shy smile and random act of kindness, wrestling them away to a secret place in my heart meant for unrequited love.
Because if it wasn’t for the fact that I tutor him once a week, I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t even know I exist.
Then I find his sketchbook.
And it changes everything.
EZRA
There are two certainties in my life: I’ve been in love with Kayla Reynolds since I was fourteen, and I can’t have her.
I’ve spent years settling for a two-dimensional fantasy world, capturing her beauty with a pencil and paper. She’s kind, smart, gorgeous… and she belongs to someone else.
Or so I thought.
An interesting turn of events makes me realize things aren’t always how they appear on the outside, and now I’ve got my chance to be the man she deserves.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been called a loser. The cripple. An outcast.
But maybe—just maybe—this time the good guy won’t finish last.

Read an excerpt from FAMILY IS FOREVER now!

Arianna had relaxed quite a bit during our conversation. Her demeanor was casual as she played with the strap of her shoe. Her laugh came naturally. It was easy to pretend that we were still together as we sat there talking. Our arms were even touching. It sent a jolt of electricity down my spine to feel my skin against hers again. It felt like we were finally shifting, finally moving in the right direction. It was everything I’d hoped tonight would be.
After a brief pause in talking about our summer plans, Arianna pursed her lips and said, “Why have we never been friends before now? We’re in the same grade, and we must have had classes together before…but I don’t recall ever seeing you before a couple of months ago.”
I sighed, not sure how to answer that. “I don’t know… We must have just kept missing each other. But I’m so glad that’s not the case anymore. You…there’s just something about you. You’re kind, warm, accepting. You see past people’s faults, to the person they are underneath. You’re patient, forgiving, and open to things that are a little…different. But you don’t take crap from anyone either, and you stand up for what you believe in. You’re just…amazing.”
Her expression was blank. “You saw all that, sitting across the room from me?”
I peeked up at her with a small smile that I couldn’t hide. “I see you, Arianna. I see the real you.” Straightening, I met her eye and held her gaze. “And I really like what I see.”
Arianna held her breath as we stared at each other. Her heart rate spiked, and I momentarily felt bad that I could hear it. She’d probably be embarrassed if she knew I could. But then her eyes drifted to my lips, and I really didn’t care that I had a slight advantage. All I cared about was whether she wanted me to kiss her right now. Was she ready to see me as more?
I leaned in, tentative and unsure. Maybe I was misinterpreting this. Maybe, because I wanted it so badly, I was seeing something that wasn’t there. My heart was thumping in my chest so loudly, Nika probably thought I was doing something much more strenuous than just sitting on a bed, staring at Arianna, and waiting for our second first kiss to happen.

Review

This is the sixth instalment of the Conversion series and we are back following the Adams family life and the consequences/situations they are now living with after the last few months. Julian is trying to cope with the fact that he still loves/wants his now ex-girlfriend despite the fact she has no memory of him thanks to it being wiped. He’s also lost his sister Nika in a way, now she’s a pure blood. Even though Nika is happy and in love with her sire Hunter, Julian struggles now they don’t have a bond. Despite all this the Adam’s are adapting to the changes in their lives but soon enough something is threatening their way of life and very being again and everyone must come together to protect the family!

“Protect the nest, no matter the cost. That was our family motto. Lately, the cost had been high.”

I’ve always loved a good paranormal story and this series doesn’t disappoint. Yes it’s a vampire romance but it kind of has a believability about it and a grown up tone. A vampire story I could actually see being real; a massive hit for me. I also loved that we followed the romance side of things in the separate view points of Julian and Nika.

“Every day is torture, and time is only making it worse. Even now without her my chest feels hollowed out, and I know that all I have to do to get rid of that feeling…is run to her.” Lowering my hands, I locked eyes with Teren. “She’s the sweetest drug, tailor-made for me.”

We have a lot of characters in this book who stand out as main characters for me- it’s a big family, a big story and there are a lot of people to love, hate, be angry at and laugh with. Julian and Nika are the clear stand out characters though as we read the story through them. I adored Nika; I thought she was really strong willed and stood up for herself; it’s wasn’t an easy situation she was in but she was always standing strong and fighting for what she believed in. Julian was also massively likeable, I really felt for him at the beginning; losing his girlfriend and, in a way, his sister. But his love for both of them really shined through and how he never wanted to give up was so admirable.

“Then you know why I can’t lose you again. I can’t. I won’t get through it. You can call me old-fashioned, you can call me sexist, but really…I’m just selfish. I can’t cope with the thought of losing you….”

This was full of drama and tense situation that kept you hooked and eager to keep turning those pages. With the vampires wanting to create peace and forge a bond between the human race and with both sides having those who disagree it’s obvious this is not going to be an easy feat! But with the drama also comes the love stories of both Julian and Nika. I love how this books is kind of two stories in a way; one about vampires and humans and the other about two couples trying to find their way to be together. If you love a paranormal story with a slightly more grown up feel to it then you will love this book!
