REVIEW - 4 Stars
7 Months by Bethany Lopez is the
seventh book in the Time For Love series,
but can be read as a standalone as I did. Having finished the book, I recommend
reading the others in the series first to get the full experience and
understand the other relationships. Even with that said, I thought that this
was a great story. It had everything that I always look for in the books that I
read- steamy sex scenes (Score! - pun intended), great banter, minimal angst,
and a happily ever after.
This story follows the last O’Malley
brother Brady, a newly minted police officer, and his secret relationship with
Ming, a lawyer who is his sister in laws best friend. Brady, having been
slightly emotionally scarred with his parent’s death as a teen, shy’s away from
relationships and anything more than a good time. Something attracts him to
Ming and they begin a friends with benefits, no strings attached, sex only (it’s
hot!) affair. They have this unexplainable raw sexual chemistry that makes him
keep coming back. The downfall being that Ming falls for him. Hard.
“Being in a non-relationship with a man I loved who only wanted me for
sex may be a bad thing, but being bad had never felt so damn good.”
After seven months (Get it? 7
months) of late night booty calls, Ming decides that she deserves more and ends
the no strings relationship. This opens Brady’s eyes to what he really wants
and he pulls his head out of his ass. He steps out of his comfort zone to woo
Ming back to him and take an honest stab at a real relationship- His first
ever. Brady realizes that Ming is it for him and won’t ever give her up. When
Ming is threatened, he will move heaven and earth to make sure that they will
always be together.
“How close
I came to losing you, the seven months I wasted, not knowing what I had that
entire time, and it hit me. I love you. I left my desk and walked out, not
saying a word to anyone. I just knew I had to see you, to tell you in person.”
I really liked both Brady and Ming.
Brady was honest from the get go and it was Ming who broke the rules. Once he
got passed his hang ups, he becomes the book boyfriend of all book boyfriends.
Even with Ming changing the rules, I really liked her as well. She was a strong
woman who went with the no strings sex until she just couldn’t anymore. She
felt that she deserved more and understood that it was her who had changed the
game, not Brady. It didn’t hurt any less, but she didn’t blame him. Brady
needed her to walk away for him to realize what she meant to him. I hurt for
them equally as they went through their emotional hang ups.
The secondary characters added so
much to the story. It made me want to go back and start the first books in the
series while I was reading just to I could catch up (I will someday!). They
were all so close, I could feel the affection and love for each other while I
was reading. Everyone had something to contribute to the friendships and were
there for one another. It was the best kind of friendships, and the kind that
you don’t see as often as you should. Hell, I wanted to be friends with them.
If you haven’t read 7 Months yet,
you need to get on that. Stat. Maybe even get the whole series. Tt will be
worth it.
