Hey Dearies!
This is my birthday today! I figured that with my birthday being here, I wanted to do a review of my new favorite author, Lucy Score! Since I’m waiting for her third book in the last series, I’ve been checking out some of her other books to see if they are just as rom-com cheesy as I like!
So, before I begin this review, I have a question to ask you. Which do you prefer, 1st person or 3rd person?
For me, 1st person will always be my favorite to read, just because I love reading like I’m in the point of view of the main character. I also prefer books that use different points of view for each of the characters (when necessary).
The only reason why I’m asking this question is that the first book I read by Lucy was in 1st person, and when I started reading this one, it was in 3rd person. However, I wanted to give it a try because she already won me over with her 1st person, so 3rd person might be just the same, right?
Well, let’s talk about it.
First, the story is based on the maid of honor, Franchesca, or Frankie for short, and the best man, Aiden. Also, each chapter is in their POV, but in 3rd person, which I found interesting. Anyway, they meet at their friend’s wedding for Pru and Chip.
At first, they want nothing to do with each other because Frankie is loud and Aiden is a judgmental asshole. Which, to be fair, I agree with Frankie, since he did accuse her of being a stripper, which she ended up overhearing, and that doesn’t start off well.
Anyway, they both have to work together because Chip gets kidnapped the day before his wedding, and they are trying to find out why and who did it. Come to find out, it was Aiden’s stepbrother, who was holding Chip against him because he wanted Aiden to cave on a business deal.
While that is all happening, they have this sexual chemistry that they just can’t resist each other, so yes, there are some very spicy scenes while they are trying to find Chip. Kind of like an enemies-to-lovers vibe that it starts out with, and then once they finally do it, Frankie leaves Aidan’s room and hops back on her flight to New York, thinking that was the last time she would see him.
Aidan, on the other hand, wants to see her again and is pissed that she left him without saying goodbye or anything. He not only can’t stop thinking about Frankie, but wants her and only her to himself. So, he does what every billionaire does and tracks her down to find out where she is and why she left him.
Of course, Frankie was shocked that he would even show up at her apartment, as she thought he just wanted sex and would leave her alone. However, she is stubborn and isn’t sure she wants to be another one girlfriends that only last a month or so. Plus, he also happened to meet one of her brothers and told him they were dating.
The best part of their relationship is that Aiden is giving his all to this relationship, and Frankie is having a difficult time giving herself to it, as she thinks this will be just a fling and it will be over in a flash. Plus, I can get why she doesn’t want to fully commit to his entire lifestyle because he is a billionaire; it also comes with fame and not having privacy.
Of course, as do all of Lucy Score’s books, there is a conflict that causes Frankie to call the whole thing off and want nothing to do with Aidan in general, which I honestly don’t blame her for, but I think the whole thing could’ve been resolved if he told her before she was told by his stepbrother.
I won’t tell you what it is, since I don’t want to spoil the book for you, but it wasn’t a bad read. I also forgot how many pages her books are, and this one did take me the longest to finish, the 3rd person kind of threw me off, but she does an okay job with it.
Overall, it was a really good book, not as good as her “Story of My Life” series, but it’s right under there. I also think the amount of comedy in the book is what helped me get through the 3rd person POV because it’s hilarious! Especially when Aiden is having lunch with Frankie’s family, that whole thing was entertaining.
So, what do you think about this book? Do you prefer her 1st person POV or 3rd person POV? Honestly, I don’t mind her 3rd person, but I loved her 1st person way better. I know she has a few other books that are in 3rd person that I’ll have to try it out and see which I like better. Let me know what you think below!
