3.5 Smooches

Synopsis

Sinfully sexy Travis De Luca came into Remi’s life when she
was young, inexperienced, and easily dazzled. With his
scandalous words and wickedly sexy grins, he possessed a
power no one should have over another. He was a foul
mouthed, trouble-making thug to everyone else, but she’d
witnessed the vulnerable side he hid so well. After one earth-
shattering experience and his declaration of love, her body
and soul were hooked.

When Travis is sent away without warning, Kristiano De Luca
—his equally sexy cousin—comes into Remi’s life as a friend
when she needs one most. After years with no word and waiting for Travis to come back, she loses hope, and the friendship she’s built with Kris grows into something beautiful that fills the void Travis left behind.

But a surprise return from Travis and one passionate night
with him throw all their lives into chaos, and nothing will
ever be the same again.

Author’s note to reader: Imagine two heroes with your all time favorite qualities. Hot, bad boy, tattoos, dirty mouths, hot head alpha to a fault and possessive as ALL hell. Both going for the same girl!

REVIEW

Travis De Luca has always enjoyed tormenting Remi, or his Cherry as he calls her. He loves making her blush, making her hot and making her squirm with his dirty mouth, knowing she is still an innocent virgin. But behind this teasing there are real feelings, and feelings Remi feels right back. But when Travis is sent away unexpectedly Remi is forced to move on after not hearing from him…and when Kris, Travis’s cousin comes into town, what’s starts as friendship turns into something more. But maybe Travis isn’t as completely gone away as Remi thinks? Who will she pick? And how will the boys deal with liking the same woman?

“I’m no good for you and I know it. Not yet. But when, not if, I make you mine, because I know now that it’s gonna happen, no one, not even your dad, will be able to keep you from me.”

Now this is a love triangle romance so yes there is cheating!! But don’t let that put you off. I’m not normally a fan of cheating books but this one drew me in and it was definitely because of those scrummy De Luca boys. And also because you actually felt bad for Remi rather than angry because you could feel how torn she was.

“I’m still not sure what it is but something in my heart has always told me she was still waiting for me. That that flame that burned for me in her heart is still there too. I’d always seen it.”

I had a huge soft spot for Travis and I have to say I was definitely team Travis throughout. Maybe because I loved his younger bad boy self and then I loved when he definitely matured but still kept his bad boy persona. I did like Kris as well, it was hard not to. He was equally as sexy and I loved how he took his time with Remi.

“I know this is wrong. I know I shouldn’t be here. I know I should stop this. But I’m helpless to.”

This was definitely a romance filled with drama- cheating, hot romance, running around, new girlfriends and possible pregnancies…it was all going off with the De Luca boys and Remi. I really had no idea which way she would go at some points- I could feel she likes both and she was struggling with what she was doing and who she wanted and even thinking did she even deserve either of them.

“At the moment all I know for a fact is that life goes on and time really does heal all wounds.”

I loved the ending, I think the author managed to get it just right, where you didn’t feel too much sadness for anyone and instead could see the happiness in everyone’s ending situation. So yes it may be a cheat book but you will get your HEA and you will leave with a little sigh of happiness and eagerness to hopefully carry on Kris’s story!
