4.5 Stars

I’ve yet to read a title by Lacey Black that I haven’t thoroughly enjoyed.  My Kinda Mess, is the fourth title in the Summer Sisters series and features Lexi and Linkin.  A sweet, fun, steamy, heat filled read that is full of emotion, and humour.  A friends to lovers romance, with twists and turns aplenty.  The chemistry between Lexi and Linkin, is palpable, passionate, steamy and intense.

I was intrigued by Lexi’s character in the previous titles and couldn’t wait to read her story after her twin sister Abbi found her happy ever after My Kinda Song.

My Kinda Mess is a captivating, and entertaining read with characters that are completely endearing.  Lexi is strong, feisty and independent, and stubborn, she knows just what she wants, being love and family.  Lexi’s deepest desire is to become a mother,  and she’s not afraid to go after her dreams.  Linkin is an enigmatic character, a sexy, tattooed, motorcycle riding bad-ass, who is complete sweetheart and oh so swoon worthy, working two jobs in order to reduce the burden on his mother.  He happily cares for his rambunctious and precocious younger twin brothers just to give his single mother a break. 

The banter is what keeps me coming back for more of this series, each title is full of fun, flirty, witty commentary and the innuendo and inappropriate antics and suggestions, leave you laughing out loud.

I will be eagerly awaiting the next title in the Summer Sisters series, and cannot wait to see the remaining sisters find their happy ever after.

“It’s time to get this thing started!” the little old woman hollers behind me, walking by and swatting me on the ass. “Oh, that’s nice,” she adds with an ornery grin and a wink.

What in the hell is going on here?

“We’re ready. Go!”

“Go?” I ask, confused, and rubbing the back of my neck with my hand.

“Strip! It’s why you’re here, right? My granddaughter, Alexis, is celebrating her divorce, and what a better way to rejoice than with a stripper! Oh, that agency was right. You are a delicious, big ol’ slab of meat. So, take it off! Take it off!” the woman chants, the girls standing off to the side giggling and chugging whatever is in their glasses (probably alcohol).

“Grandma, this is completely not necessary,” Lexi says from the chair.

“Zip it! It’s completely necessary to welcome you back into the dating world with some naked man meat. This is a cellllllllebrationnnnnnn, Alexis.”

“Stop calling me that. I’m not even divorced yet.”

“Semantics.” Walking up to her granddaughter, the old woman whispers loudly, “Hey, maybe you’ll get to sleep with the stripper. He’s super hunky with a great ass,” she adds with another wink sent my way.

“Please don’t do this,” Lexi begs from her chair.

“Too late. I’ve already paid the beefcake. Just sit there and enjoy. I know I’m ready,” Grandma says, pulling a folding chair nearby so she gets an up-close and personal view.

My heart is hammering in my chest as I take in the room. The other occupants are staring at me expectantly, while Grandma grabs her phone, presumably to take pictures or video.

Strip in a room full of woman?

For Lexi?

Fuck yes!

Suddenly, the music changes to Warrant. “Cherry Pie” blares through the speakers, and I realize I’m at a fork in the road. I can get the hell out of this apartment, away from the crazy old woman who’s apparently into buying her grandkids strippers, and hide away from Lexi and her whacked family for the rest of my time in this building.

Or, I can stay.

And strip.

A broad smile stretches across my face as I take in the anxiously nervous woman sitting before me. I wonder why she hasn’t removed her blindfold, and upon closer inspection, I realize her hands are also tied to the back of the chair.

Perfect.
