Vanessa Jared's Got a Man
Vanessa Jared's Got a Man: A Novel | LaQuette
3 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
LaQuette's debut sexy romantic comedy Vanessa Jared's Got a Man tells the story of a woman getting her groove back and getting a second chance at love. Vanessa Jared, a 40-something divorcee, decided that the best way to pull herself out of their post-divorce slump was to form The Savvy, Sexy, Singles Club and start the "Do Me" portion of her and her friends' lives. But on the two year anniversary, a sexy sheriff shows up on Vanessa's doorstep wanting her to help him keep his little sister from marrying her no-good ex. Vanessa is not down for this at all. She wants nothing to do with her ex...until she spots a photo of her ex's new fiancee wearing her grandmother's ring--which he clearly stole from her. So now it's on. Vanessa is ready to take this trifling (fill-in-the-blank) down. What she does not expect is to fall in love along the way.

I read this last weekend hoping it would get me into the romance vibes. It absolutely did not. I love me some spice but somehow all the sexy scene descriptions just made me uncomfortable. It would start strong then a weird sentence would throw off the whole vibe. Also, I felt no chemistry between the characters. Yeah, every single touch was “electrifying”, but that‘s lust not chemistry. Really should have DNF‘d this one.

It was predictable but I liked how it showcased an Asian male and an African American female. Seeing them both overcome their relationship roadblocks was sweet. His sister‘s reaction to his interference helped moved the plot and advanced his growth when it finally occurred. Also liked how they were put in proximity to each other so they could see how well they worked together.

HOTPock3tt Wow. This would be a great read for me being an African American female with an Asian husband. Would be nice to see MC‘s finally reflect us!! (edited) 2y
HOTPock3tt And people put up many MANY roadblocks 😓 Family, Society etc. Everyone somehow decides what happens between two people is their business and their personal mission to try to destroy: Just because those 2 people are different races 🤦🏽‍♀️ but we are married 14 years now! Nice to see books like this showcasing love overcoming obstacles 💘 2y
SW-T @HOTPock3tt First, congratulations on your 14 years! 🥰 Some older ones featuring African American females with Asian males if you can find them: Kei Swanson‘s A Drummer's Beat to Mend, and 2y
SW-T @HOTPock3tt Nia Arthurs has newer ones including Loosen Up To Love and another one that‘s a series starting with 2y
