Review for Hello LAlaland by Madi Merek

 

5 stars

Winifred Chapman isn’t thrilled with the idea of her ten year reunion; especially not the idea of returning to LAlaland. Even in the midst of her thrilling career, she’s managed to avoid LA as often as possible, which is saying a lot for a world-renowned fashion designer. She has a life which women everywhere would envy, and has everything she needs . . . or so she thinks.

Anthony Ricci was the most popular guy at Westlake High, and the one Winifred thought would never look twice at her. A former professional athlete, he now runs a successful Italian restaurant in New York City. When they run into each other at the reunion and give in to a widely passionate night, Anthony decides he may want more than Winifred is willing to give.

Hating being known by the men she’s dated or slept with, Winifred has learned to take what she needs from them without investing emotionally. When she discovers Anthony’s old desire for her and disappears after their night together, he refuses to give her up.

Will he be able to show her that love doesn’t have to be a battle, or will LAlaland prove to be enough to destroy her carefully constructed walls?

 

 

 

My review

 

Thank you Madi Merek for allowing me to read ARC. You are an awesome writer and this book freaking kicks ass. I am now officially in love with Tony and his sexy ass.

Again thank you so very much!!

 

 

I loved this book. I couldn't put this book down I had to finish it right away. The writing was amazing. The story line is brilliant, sexy, romantic, wonderful, and amazing. I loved all the characters. 

Winifred is a strong, amazing, successful woman. She is head strong and knows exactly what she needs and doesn't need in her life. I admire this character very much. She will not let any man break her heart or come close to breaking her it.

Anthony is so...ummmm yummy! I could read about him all day long. He is strong, sexy, hot, manly, and successful too. He wears his heart on his sleeve for the woman that he loves. Tony is my new book boyfriend.

The history that the two of them have is crazy, sad, and makes me want to shake them both. Then I want to smile like a kid eating an ice cream cone for the first time. Yes this story is that damn good. I honestly could read this book over and over again.


I love how I got sucked into this story. I am so digging the ending of this book and I can't wait for book 2

Congrats on writing this freaking amazing story!!!! All I can say is that I am so glad that I got the chance to read this book and I am looking forward to reading so much more.

 

 

 

 

I’m a literary and historical fiction novelist—a genre buster, really. My debut will be in the world of erotica.

I’m a lover of vintage, a dreamer and creator, and I burn up the stipulations of this world.
Feminist.

My debut novella, Hello LAlaland, will be released April 1, 2014.

Madi Merek was born and raised a country girl in the beautiful city Denver, Colorado. She spent her summers in the mountains on her family’s ranch and cabin, where she learned to fish, ride horses, and ride an ATV.

 

Madi steered far from the country boys she grew up with when she married a sexy, city-boy rock god from Los Angeles in July 2008. He’s an executive at a music publishing house, and has introduced her to a whole new world of music and bands. Their beautiful daughter, Scarlett Shoshannah Rose, was born in November 2010, and is their miracle.

 

Though Madi has worked a full time job in banking for 7 years, her real career is writing, and her very first novel was finished at fourteen. Jon and Madi spent several years in Los Angeles before moving back to Denver, but they plan to return home to LAlaland soon. Madi can’t wait to live by the beach and away from the snow once again.
