My review of Noah by Elizabeth Reyes

05/25/2012

Noah, (5th Street #1) by Elizabeth Reyes was a 4.75 for story and a 3.5 for heat (but not until the very end). 28 year old Veronica has spent the last 2 years taking care of her dying mother. In that time she has become depressed, withdrawn and overweight. Finally, her friend Nellie takes her to a local gym where she meets her trainer, 19/20 year old Noah, a boxer. Noah is a foster kid who has been through a lot in his life. When the roof of the garage he was living in almost collapsed, Veronica (Roni) offers a room in her home to him.
Although they are 8 years apart, there is a definite attraction between them. They get along great, have a wonderful friendship, and can’t wait to be together at the end of the day. Roni has so many doubts, mostly because of his age, but she also thinks she me be attached to him because she is so lonely. It is clear they both want more than friendship, but neither wants to risk what they have (especially Roni).

It’s funny, the double standards we have. They are the same age as my husband and I were when we met, but my husband is the older one. The idea of a 28 year old woman with a 20 year old boy seems so much worse. But Noah was a very mature alpha, having grown up in foster care taking care of his foster brothers and sisters. Roni was actually very inexperienced having only been with one man and then not having a life at all when she was caring for her mom.

The cast of characters in this book was great. I really loved Noah and all his friends. (I can’t wait to read Gio’s book). Roni’s ex was a douche who just happened to be 8 years older than her (see the double standard?) When Roni and Noah finally get together (not really a spoiler, you know it will happen all along) the scenes were HOT!!!!! (though sorry, you have to wait till the end of the book). Nellie was also a great character who had a real a-hole for a husband. I hope she eventually finds happiness in this series.

I really enjoyed this book. I didn’t give it a full 5 stars because it didn’t make me feel the way the 5 star books in my favorites list made me feel. Breathless with anticipation and unable to put it down. It also was a bit too much of a tease the whole book. Still, I highly recommend it, and downloaded Gio immediately.

Rating: 4.75 stars, 3.5 Heat

    I was lost after reading FSG. Nothing looked like something I would want to read. Then I found you and a new world opened up for me.. I’ve loved every book you recommended.
    Thank you

Oh how I wanted to love this one! It was right up Oh how I wanted to love this one! It was right up my alley, as I love anything from the 70s, and it was compared to two of my favorite books. But sadly, it didn’t live up for me. It was just an OK read if you are into the 70s groupies scene.

“A nerd fell in love with a nut job, and that’s some Summersweet Island, magical fairy-tale sh!t you just don’t mess with.”

It’s no secret that @authortarasivec is my favorite author, and The Summersweet Island Series perfectly illustrates why. Spare Me is a zany, feel-good comedy that’s a great read between dark or sad books. Who am I kidding? It’s the perfect read anytime. This series is getting long, so it might seem overwhelming if you haven’t started yet, but let me assure you, these are all fast and fun reads and it’s SO WORTH IT. I loved Spare Me and spending time with my favorite Summersweet characters again.

Did you ever pick a book just for the cover or tit Did you ever pick a book just for the cover or title? In this case it was both! How cute and funny does this look? I bought it and got it signed at the Naughty Nashville event and I’m finally getting to read it. I hope it lives up to the cover.

“I think the problem is that I’m not the kind “I think the problem is that I’m not the kind of person to fall in and out of love.”
And now her pulse was pounding. The implication landed heavily.
But she asked anyway: “What do you mean?”
“I mean, I fell in love once and stayed there.”

I had super high hopes for the latest Christina Lauren release, but sadly this one didn’t quite live up to my expectations. I liked it ok, but wanted to love it.
