(  ) biancawhite | Jul 24, 2023 | Full Review on my blog! *a copy was provided by NetGalley* Thirsty by Mia Hopkins is the first book in the Eastside Brewery series, and you can bet I’m interested in reading book two, Trashed. As my first Mia Hopkins read this one certainly grabbed my attention, and I’m curious to see what else the author has to offer. It took me a while to get into it, but I'm glad I finished it. I did feel like something was missing or maybe I just wasn't that into it as much as I wanted to be. Honestly, the last 20% of the book made me really reconsider the book as a whole and how truly amazing this story is, and how well developed the characters are. Overall, a fun, sexy read. I loved the characters and the story line. It's much more than a typical romance story. CLIFFHANGER!! omg! I'm actually looking forward to the next book. I highly recommend it!

Blog | Instagram | Twitter | Tumblr | Facebook ( ) AnaCarter | Feb 15, 2023 | Of course he's flawed. He's not miraculous, and yes, there's sexy consent here too. In Hopkins's note that followed, it said she used her time volunteering with reformed gang members as inspiration and it does show. The book is done respectfully and convincingly and not miraculously. And honestly, it could've been grittier. I don't even know what I mean by that, but I know it. But I wanted more. More depth, particularly from the romance. More depth from the heroine. (She didn't feel like she stood out to me?) And while this romance explored so much, using a narrative style that felt straightforward and like someone who survives by routine, this lead everything--including sex scenes to feel a bit distant. I will continue to pick up Mia Hopkins. This was interesting hero. Unfortunately it only made an ok romance for me. 3.2578 ( ) samnreader | Jun 27, 2020 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML:NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POST • A gangster hiding from his past. A single mom fighting for her future. Can she show this bad boy the man he’s meant to be? “A powerful, honest look at love as both a motivation and a risk.”—The Washington Post “Heartrending, raw and beautiful.”—USA Today’s Happy Ever After blog My name is Salvador Rosas. Back in the barrio, my past is written on the walls: ESHB. Short for East Side Hollenbeck, my father’s gang—my gang. Hell, it’s a family tradition, one that sent both my brothers away. They used to call me “Ghost” because I haunted people’s dreams. Now I’ve got nothing going for me except a hipster gringo mentoring me in a new career. An ex-con making craft beer? No mames. Still, people in this neighborhood look out for one another. That’s how I became Vanessa Velasco’s unwelcome tenant. Chiquita pero picosa. She’s little, but with curves so sweet they’re dangerous. I remember Vanessa from the old days, the straight-A student with big plans. Plans that were derailed by another kid stupid enough to think he was bulletproof. Now Vanessa knows better than to believe in empty promises. There’s fire in her . . . and if I touch her, I might get burned. I’m trying everything I can to go straight. But when East Side Hollenbeck comes calling, I might have to risk it all to find out if there’s a future for Vanessa and me. Because she’s the only one who can quench my thirst for something real. The Rosas brothers will return in Trashed! Praise for Thirsty “Thirsty held me captivated from its first page to its last with its heartrending, raw and beautiful story. . . . Mia Hopkins sublimely blends blunt realism with romantic fantasy and sharp-eyed social observation and delivers a happy-ever-after that is much more than a neat conclusion to a love story. . . . A singular reading experience.”—USA Today’s Happy Ever After blog “Thirsty is a brilliant read. There are good writers, and then there are writers that just leave you in awe. And Mia Hopkins has definitely left me in awe after reading this novel.”—Hypable This standalone novel includes an excerpt from another Loveswept title.. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

The book spent a lot of time in the beginning letting the reader know who Salvador is and the history of his life in the neighborhood. My only complaint is I suppose there could have been more on the romance side of the story, but ultimately the book gave us a really good backstory setting up the next books.
I’m so pumped for the next two books! (
