Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Price of a Kiss (Forbidden Men, #1) in Books

Jan 11, 2021

This is my first NA book in about a year, after growing disenchanted with the genre, and I have to admit I loved it!

4.5 stars!

I think it's my recent obsession with escort/sex-worker stories with tons of romance in them.

It was a perfect mood to be in when I read this story of Mason and Reese. She was quirky and within the first chapter had won me over with her thoughts of Mason. Mason sounded hot and grew on me quickly the more I read of him. He also broke mine and Reese's heart several times in the story.

He more or less despised himself for what he was doing and it was that that hurt to read. There were some powerful scenes between these two and when they finally, FINALLY!, got together I was so happy for them.

I look forward to reading other books by this author.

I love Kenji. So much. He was always one of my favorite characters, because he's so fun and loving and the friendship he has with Juliette (I just can't call her Ella) is so genuine and beautiful. This look into his mind was both interesting and heart breaking. People see a happy person, someone full of sunshine and positivity, and they never think to question them. The entire series before Find Me, he's a breath of comedic relief, the one I was always excited to have mentioned because he's just a great character - but hearing his thoughts, knowing he bears his burdens so well, I will never look at him the same. I still love him, possibly more than before. This novella is important for so many reasons in relation to the story and how it'll progress, but it was also necessary for those of us who love Kenji so much to get to know him a lot better!

Okay so! Throughout this book my thoughts swapped and changed first I thought I can't get into this, then I thought oooh I wonder what I would do? then I thought I would enjoy the part in the present more because in the words of Giles from Buffy's quote that goes "She lives very much in the now, and history of course, is very much about the then" sums me up perfectly but noo! The present bit began and I found it a little slow, but I got more into it as the story went on. I jumped from person to person like well I think they should have the painting, followed by oh no I don't!, followed by OH BUT! I finally settled on the fact that I thought Liv should get to keep it :) Although slow in places I thoroughly enjoyed this book alot more than I thought I would!

I just had a look at the new Item Description Widget. It's a great idea, something which I'd love to use, but for me I think it would need a few more elements before I fully make use of it. Currently I use an IMDb widget on my blog, which I just pass a unique movie or TV show ID and it generates a box on my page (see attached screenshot). It includes director and writer info, along with runtime. The names of the people are all links so that you can click to see more about them on IMDb.

While I appreciate that you probably can't have links to the people within your widget, and all of that info is reliant on somebody having entered that information into the database in the first place, I do personally think it would be good to include a bit more info as an option. Just my opinion, interested to hear anyone else's thoughts though.

Thanks @Lee - this has all been noted, especially if it means you will replace your existing widgets 😊

I grew up in a time and place where it was very real to have concern about a pair of kicks being stolen from you by force, or even death. Surely my thoughts on this movie are reflective of that.

Brandon is a boy who is struggling to completely fit in anywhere in his world. He has a couple of loyal friends, but struggles to understand his place in society. He believes that the ultimate pair of Air Jordan 1's will help solve all the issues he carries internally.

After copping a pair out of the back of a van, he is promptly beaten at gunpoint and they are stolen by a known heavy in his urban neighborhood. The rest of the movie essentially involves his efforts to return the shoes to his feet and the lengths that he is willing to go (and the sacrifices he's willing to make) to make that a reality.
