Hey Everyone,
As you know, I’ve been trying a new thing for me, where I share a book I love and provide a free ebook link to it, if possible.
Why did I pick this book?
Well, according to Goodreads, I haven’t read this novel because it says it has been read twice, so I removed it from the challenge, but when I went to add it back, it didn’t work. It is self-published, but I’m on the fence about this novel due to its representation of trans characters. I mean, I understand the reason she wanted readers to view Mira as an everyday woman, but trans people often deal with complex situations that shape who we are, and I felt this aspect was missing here, which might have enriched the relationship between Isabel and Mira. The thing I’m curious about is what a reader who is drawn to the romance element would think if it were done in a rushed manner.
First Lines:
THERE WAS nothing like being crammed together with hundreds of gorgeous, strobe-lit people on a dance floor to make you feel alone. Mira exhaled as the doors of the club closed behind her, muffling the pounding music. She needed a break.
This was supposed to be a fresh start—her first time reemerging from her friends’ apartment since the breakup, aside from unavoidable trips to campus and the corner bodega. She’d let Vivian and Frankie drag her out to Volume, their favorite queer club. They’d helped her move her paltry possessions out of Dylan’s condo, and they were letting her crash on their couch, so Mira couldn’t really say no.
Goodreads Blurb:
Starting over is hard. Falling for her gorgeous butch roommate might make it impossible.
When a tall, stunning butch protects Mira from her ex-boyfriend at the club—and offers her a safe place to stay—Mira should be relieved. Not flustered. She’s not into women.
Yet this tough electrician with curves for days makes Mira’s heart race like never before.
But Isabel, wounded by grief, forces Mira to keep her distance. Until Mira’s desperate to win a union election at work—and only Isabel has the experience to teach her how.
Soon they’re lingering over dinner, teasing each other as the apartment heats up. And Isabel is making her coffee every morning, hanging her shelves, giving her smoldering looks before bed…
But Mira can’t afford temptation. Not after living with her nightmare ex.
No matter how well Isabel takes care of her…or how much Isabel needs healing, too.
She can’t risk her freedom—or her heart.
