On The Rox-Review!!

BLURB

DTF. Support your local girl gang!
Me and my dirty, tough female besties were hell—and tacos on wheels.
Who knew that my homemade Shizzle Sauce would be the key ingredient to my happily ever after?
Destiny had a wicked sense of humor—that was for sure.
After surviving a toxic relationship, I vowed to never let myself be controlled by a man again.
With the help of my girl gang, I was rebuilding my life—one taco at a time. My trusty snack wagon—The Pink Taco Truck—hadn’t steered me wrong yet.
This time, it led me straight to a hottie restaurant owner with a sexy Australian accent, who just so happened to love my secret sauce.
He made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. But that wasn’t the only thing I was unable to turn down.
Jay was everything I could ever want in a man, but he wasn’t without heartache of his own. In fact, he’d been around the world, and he had the baggage to prove it.
Good thing I was always up for an adventure!

My Review:
My Rating: 2 Stars


I like to try new authors so when I saw the blurb for this story I thought it would be one I would enjoy. Unfortunately I just didn't care for this book.

Rox is a tough female whose been in a toxic relationship and is now trying to rebuild her life. Jay is new to town to help his brother run their restaurant after traveling around the world trying to deal with his own heartbreak. The two end up discussing Rox's secret sauce and bringing it to Jay and his brother's restaurant. As soon as the two see each other the sparks fly and there is instant chemistry.

I didn't connect with either Rox nor Jay. Rox was a little too much for my taste and Jay just seemed like a weak character. I think the author was trying to show Jay as a sexy, sweet and sensitive guy when really I feel like Jay was just boring. We didn't really get to see into Rox and Jay's relationship as it was mostly telling than showing. I also felt like their relationship was a little too insta love and just full of sex.

I did like the idea of Rox and her friends having each other's backs and not judging each other. I liked how the author discussed serious issues and showed the process that you need to heal yourself before you try and be part of a couple. There were some funny scenes that made me chuckle.

Overall, I just wasn't a fan of this book and probably won't continue with this series.



AUTHOR BIO

Kat Addams is a forever twenty-nine-year-old fashionista following her lifelong dream of writing contemporary romance inspired by the exotic men she meets in her worldly travels. At least, that’s what she would like for you to think. She’s certainly not a stay-at-home mom indulging in excessive daydreaming, frozen pizzas, an unhealthy addiction to purchasing pajamas, and one too many cocktails on the regular. That’s some other romance author. The poor thing probably has to sneak away upstairs to write her dirty stories! What would her family think? Thankfully, that’s not Kat!
