Blurb
Life is a daily celebration for Adrian Pontimore, the hottest new event planner for the Manhattan elite. His days are a high-priced whirlwind of cocktail parties, weddings, conventions, tea parties, housewarmings, and baby showers. Everything is simply amazing for the owner of Quintessentially Adrian Event Designs. Until the dark and hate-filled side of life rears its ugly head, tearing apart the delicate happy bubble that Adrian has constructed around himself.
If not for the bravery of one of New York’s finest, Adrian’s days fussing over décor and bridal parties might have come to an abrupt end. There’s something about a man in uniform, but there is something extra special about Officer Galen Ellison. Not only did he save Adrian’s life, he’s slowly winning his heart. It’s going to take time, patience, and good humor to help Adrian overcome the fears that haunt the shadows now, but those are qualities that the handsome, affable beat cop seems to have an abundance of.
Review
My Rating - 5 Stars!
VL Locey's Reserved, the fourth book in the Tales of Bryant series, is positively charming.
Adrien is hysterical, full of sass, sparkle, and attitude. The reader can't help but to fall in love with him immediately. I love the way he talks, dresses, and his brash attitude. The fact that he takes a liking to Galen, a cop who's his complete opposite only adds to the fun.
These two opposites find not only attraction, but also love, as Adrien heals from an attack. And oh the emotions involved. Not only is his body broken, but also his spirit. The result is a slow, touching journey towards healing.
The writing is stellar, with two intriguing characters and a wonderful storyline. Once again, the author manages to capture some of the atmosphere of NYC, including the different parts of the city. If you're familiar with the city, this series that revolves around the iconic Bryant Park is sure to warm your heart.
Reserved is a story with an interracial couple, a brutal attack, and horrific homophobia slurs. It's a tough read at a few parts, but it's a wonderful story. VL Locey once again impresses me with the depth of her characters and the surprises she throws our way. If you've been reading this series, you will be thrilled to see this new side of the charismatic Adrien.
V.L. Locey loves worn jeans, yoga, belly laughs, walking, reading and writing lusty tales, Greek mythology, Torchwood and Dr. Who, the New York Rangers, comic books, and coffee. (Not necessarily in that order.) She shares her life with her husband, her daughter, one dog, two cats, a pair of geese, far too many chickens, and two steers.
When not writing spicy romances, she enjoys spending her day with her menagerie in the rolling hills of Pennsylvania with a cup of fresh java in one hand and a steamy romance novel in the other.
