I have read many of Rachel Ayala's novels and there has yet to be one that I have not simply loved. She will have you laughing, gasping, sometimes even have you shaking your head at how you can actually picture things happening in real life.
The world of investment banking-especially in NYC or other large cities like in California, is cut throat and that is putting it mildly. Carina, an Oriental young girl brought up in a strict home has only one thing in mind--to keep her sights on the job. She has never had any boyfriends because her parents always instilled in her the need to succeed first in school-now in her chosen profession. She managed to snag an internship at a prestigious firm where she hopes they will want to hire her permanently. When she asks an old friend if she knows where she can rent--things start to get interesting!
She moves in with a sexy barista and lays down the rules--in writing--which he agrees to--somewhat. Heavens Carina loves rules and even more so when they are in writing AND signed!! At work she has some trouble just because she is female------when her female boss says she will help her if Carina when asked to jump will say how high---darn-I refuse to give away this story--
Her sexy barista friend has a hidden past of his own-----he is not exactly the free wheeling rock star he appears--well he is--but---
Okay--it is a five--read it--you will love it!! It is one of those new genre Young Adult--I found nothing offensive what so ever-but I leave that to your discretion as to whether you want your teen to read this or not.
Investment banking intern Carina Chen doesn’t need any distractions—especially the sexy, guitar-playing barista she rooms with for the summer.
Free spirit Dylan Jewell appreciates the delightful universe of women who vie for his attention. His goal in life is to do good, make happy coffee, and help the homeless.
When Carina moves in, she insists on rules of conduct to quell her instant attraction to Dylan. But when her boss asks her to turn Dylan into a businessman, she can’t think of a reason not to take advantage of his hospitality.
Their chemistry is white hot, but Dylan refuses to play Carina’s game, unable to understand how he can fall in love with a woman who puts profits in front of people. When Carina realizes Dylan isn’t budging, she risks all to gain a single night with him. Will her gambit backfire or will Dylan discover Carina’s true heart before she runs away with his?
Set in Berkeley, California, Whole Latte Love is an opposites-attract romance mixing bluesy rock music, hot, steamy love scenes, and financial shenanigans.
Steamy love scenes and language. Suitable for readers 18+.

I would really love to read Whole Latte Love. That is just my kind of book. This is definitely going on my Kindle TBR list. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHey, all, thanks for your comments. Michal's Window is free right now at Nook, Kobo, and Apple. Not yet Amazon, they haven't price matched it yet. So if you want to read about a princess and the David of David and Goliath, check it out. Amazon's version has been cleaned of sensual scenes, but Nook, Kobo, Apple still has the original.
ReplyDeleteI also love Jen in Broken Build. She's so stressed out, just like Carina, and they both get some loving from them Jewell men. Yum, yum.
Oh, I forgot to mention, Broken Build is "set your own price" on Smashwords. It's regular price is $2.99, but I love my readers and so, go for it!
