Max is a hot, dark hair, six pack, pussy pleaser, of a man.

I will definitely be trying out some Brazilian dishes in the future. Lina, the main character is Brazilian, and reading about the Brazilian culture or so refreshing. the angst and the fucking TENSION!! This because dual POV and the way these characters describe one another had me breathing hard and heavy. and years later they now have to work together as wedding planners TA-DA!! and also admit that he kinda had a hand in his brothers decision to break off the wedding. Ok so this book basically follows Lina who was left at the alter at her wedding, and her fiancé’s brother, Max, had to break the news to her.
