FLICKER Kindle Edition

Monday Blue

Strings of fairy lights make horrible extension cords for personal pleasure devices. I found out the hard way when I started a fire with my excessive use of a high-powered massager. But to be fair, electricity has always been out to get me. Okay, maybe we’re more like frenemies. My flatiron depends on it, but I also fear the zap it sends through me on an unwelcome, regular basis.

How do I explain this to the tattooed, hot electrician that shows up at my front door?

BEAR

She was festive, I’ll give her that. The jerry-rigged self-satisfaction station Monday Blue had in her bedroom was unique. Hell, it was flashing to a beat. Ever since I checked her fuse box, I wanted to fix a whole lot more than her current. Blinky lights have never been so tempting before.

There’s a strict no fraternizing policy between the apartment residents and our family-run electric company. I have no way to rationalize the humongous, naked mural she’s painted of me on her wall. I need to face the girl of my dreams and demand she see things my way.

Can Bear and Monday turn each other on long enough to let a flicker become a spark?

          Hilariously electrifying steamy romance
          5 out of 5 stars
          Hilariously electrifying steamy romance
          I have to say this book had me both laughing at the heroine’s antics within a few pages and that pretty much set the tone for the rest of the book which was upbeat, silly, steamy, and heart warming.For my review, let’s start with the fact that Monday Blue and Bear are the absolute best character names in the multiverse. If that doesn’t tell you that this is going to be a quirky, fun book I don’t know what will… Oh maybe the blurb where Monday Blue’s “high-powered massager” knocks out the power to her whole building and Bear comes in to fix it… She has a long standing hate hate relationship with electricity and Bear is literally an electrician so sparks fly as do words and lots of paint.This is a forbidden romance with elements of enemies to lovers and some friends to lovers. They go from zero to 60 pretty quickly in terms of chemistry but then they ease off a bit and it feels almost like a slow burn. Not sure if the above makes sense but I promise Debra Anastasia makes it all work with her characters quick wit and silly situations they get themselves into. Literally this book made me laugh so hard I got some side eye from other people.

            I absolutely love Bear and Mondays story! Her apprehension and trouble with electric matches well with his no fear and ability to manipulate and work with electric. The drama with her mom and Poncy makes the story the perfect combination of romance and drama.

            This book had me laughing, smiling, and shaking my head. Monday Blue was a hoot! The story is told from Monday's and Bear's point of views. Monday and electricity are acquaintances,. She knows that electricity does not get along with her. Just look at he situation with Veiny! Then Bear comes along; he is the electrician that service her apartment complex. After meeting, Bear cannot seem to stay away from Monday. Despite his attraction, he knows he cannot get involved due too his contract with the apartment complex. Monday's mother is planning Monday's future with a man with means, but will it succeed. I enjoyed the story. It was fun but had a good message about family. I did question a couple of issues but they we're not deal breakers. This is an adult read with lots of innuendo and sexy times.

            Very enjoyable contemporary romance between an art teacher and an electrician that meet when there’s a blown transformer at her apartment. It’s a bit of instalove which is not my favorite genre, but it wasn’t too too much in this book as they took their relationship very slow. The silliness came with her boyfriend at the start of the book and her family. Her ex was written as an entitled pompous jerk and it was over the top with his antics. Not realistic at all. Her mother is also status obsessed and this is emphasized almost to the end. I found the book a bit uneven between trying for humor then going for serious drama. It seems light hearted then a tornado hits or a dangerous accident occurs. Still, I found the art descriptions some of the most enjoyable parts and that added a nice element to the book. Bear is a perfect book boyfriend. Monday gets her backbone and the book improves after that. There is an epilogue with an HEA. No cheating or triggers.

            Triggers:
            family drama, an aggressive (ex) boyfriend

            Spoilers:
            Monday, artist and teacher. She just wants to live life her way. She feels pressure from her mom to be part of a "higher social standing".

            Bear, artist and part time electrician. burned by his long term girlfriend now he is busy running his dads electrical company while his dad recovers from an illness.

            I'm a late night reader and I was laughing out loud often. The two main characters had a connection from their first meeting. This book was a nice break from reality.

            Except for the electricity coming after Monday Blue you want to be just like her, spunky caring, talented and carefree. Growing up I always seemed to get zapped by the electric fence, so I guess you can say I have a little Monday in me lol. Bear he’s the guy you dream of not afraid to show his feelings, (and it doesn’t hurt he’s easy on the eyes) takes care of his parents but has room in his heart to share his love with others and share his family. When Monday & Bear met on a dark cold night sparks fly he knew that moment she was the one but it was complicated & could jeopardize his father’s business. I just loved their story, Debra Anastasia doesn’t disappoint; you will laugh, cry and want to read it all over again when you are done.

            Just couldn't get into this one. The writing is odd and feels like it jumps around. There's not a solid flowing thought to be found. Chapters seem to end abruptly. Half the time it takes too much work to be able to understand what the author is trying to convey and I find myself rereading whole sentences and sometimes full paragraphs to get it. Too bad, because the characters seemed like they had potential. There's just too many other books on my list to bother wasting time here.
