"Overlapping cannot happen."
I am not a fan of love triangles or cheating. I can tolerate snippets or sneak peeks. I cannot handle it as a theme for an entire book. But that's not to say I haven't read my share of cheating dudes and love affairs of lonely wives, it's just that I steer clear of them until maaaaaaaaybe I might be in the mood to challenge my self and that's exactly what happened to Sex Love Repeat for me. I've had my Kindle copy for almost 2 years before I had the sudden urge to want to read it.
My verdict?
Holy Crapola WhamBamBoom! I couldn't have picked a better read to start off my 2016 with a huge bang. Sex Love Repeat is unlike any of the love triangle-cheating books that I've read. With those books, I easily get frustrated with either the main hero, the heroine, the other guy or girl, or the story itself or even worse, the storytelling. But no, Alessandra Torre just had to bulldoze Paul-Maddison-Stewart into my mind and made me root for all three of them. Well, not all 3 together. You get my point, though. I was admittedly worried, however, I was willing to dip my toes into this book because I have loved the books I've read from this author.
When an author manages to hypnotize me with her words and writing, regardless what the story is, and leave me speechless and in awe, I am always open to read anything else she comes up with. This book just proved how powerful Alessandra Torre's talent is in sharing an untraditional love story and still make the readers love them. And I loved the characters in this book, there wasn't a scene where I wanted to stop and put my Kindle down, no infuriating hero and heroine that tempted me to throw my Kindle to the wall, no dialogues where I just want to scream at them to get their heads on straight, I'm left with wonderment that I was enjoying every flip of the page and surprised that I cried my eyes out!
Oh, I almost forgot to share that tidbit, huh? Yes. This book made me cry and reach for ice cream (good thing I still have a pint left from the holidays!). I wouldn't say it's a "bad" cry, it's more of a "damn that's so sweet" or "stop please my heart is breaking" kind of tears and truth be told, that added more to my love of Sex Love Repeat. The author didn't just write a love triangle story, she wrote a love story that touches not just the one guy and the girl in between but also that of the other guy, and believe me, I was holding my breath who she'd end up with until the end.
Love, tears, and twist. There's a touch of intrigue to the characters and a twist that changes everything. In case my point got lost in all of my ramblings, THIS BOOK IS FABULOUS!!! Sex Love Repeat is easily my first book on my Best of 2016 reads!
Stars: 5 stars
Recommended to: Face your fears, give Paul, Maddison, and Stewart a chance! If you already dig the love triangle theme, Sex Love Repeat is a must read.
Series: No. I'm crossing my fingers for a spin-off, though.
POV: First person. Multiple.
Extra Comment: I'm still left awestruck by how much I loved the characters and the story.
