4 Stars!

ABOUT THE BOOK -

Daisy L’Amore is faced with impossible choices. A prophecy given a year ago has Daisy and her two best friends racing the clock to find love before midnight on Valentine’s Day or they will lose everything they’ve worked for, including With a Twist, the martini bar and bistro the three of them own. A crystal heart and a gypsy’s words guide them, but love has a way of making its own rules, and Daisy is afraid to break them.

Romeo Corazón is shaking up Daisy’s world, but will the transformation he brings to her life be the downfall of everything she values? Or will falling in love with the wrong man make everything right?

MY REVIEW -

Erin certainly is no new comer to my blog. I believe this is the 5th book of Erin's I have reviewed.

I love Erin and have great respect for her as a person, a friend, as well as an Author!

Well Ladies... grab your martini and a block of ice to sit on because you are going to get HOT reading this book! This is "eggs frying on the sidewalk" hot, its "water sizzling on a frying pan" hot, "Florida with 102 in the shade" hot!

There was a fun little storyline behind all this romance (and sex). I love stories with that magical quality to them, that touch of "magical realism". Besides all the parts that I had to close my eyes for.. alright, I admit I kept one eye open, this was a really cute story! 

I really liked Daisy and she seemed like a real sweetie to me. I wanted for all her dreams to come true. I really wasn't sure about "Rome" in the beginning, I didn't trust him right away. - but he did end up growing on me. And Erin sure painted a pretty picture of him!

"The man who'd made the request sat at the bar, wearing a weathered jean jacket over a flannel button down with a faded t-shirt beneath. She couldn't see below the waist, but she didn't have to see to guess there'd be shabby jeans on his long legs. From the fine layer of dust covering him, she'd guess construction worker."

This is my kind of guy!!!!! I love the rugged type!
I like the way it mentions the characters in the other 2 books in the series (Rose and Jasmine) tying all 3 books together very nicely. When I started reading the next book I felt like I already knew a little bit about them.
I would definitely have to say Adult only on this hot read!
