Hello there, everyone and Happy Monday! It’s a bright and sunny day by me, so I thought, why not sit inside with the AC on and my ceiling fan circulating on high and write up a book review for all of you. I am super behind on getting them out to you.. not that that’s anything new with life being so up in the air. It feels so peaceful being settled for once, so now I can get back to reading and reviewing books for you guys!
Today’s book review is going to be a fun and interesting one, because I have a bit of personal history with this story. Let’s get to it and talk about The Dominant Blonde by Alisa Kwitney!
Okay, so to say I’m late on reading and reviewing this book is a complete and total understatement. Let’s hop into my time machine and go back to when I was in high school and I read an excerpt of this story in a summer issue of Cosmopolitian Magazine. I remember lying out one day catching some rays and getting captured by the sample of this story. I went out as soon as I could and picked up a copy from my local bookstore… and then only read a few chapters before sticking it on my shelf. There, it remained untouched and unread until last week when I decided to browse my shelves and wait for something to jump out at me, and this one did.
Lydia is in a good place for once in her life, and she’s going to enjoy it by lounging on a beach with her boyfriend, Abe. The couple spend warm, summer days in the waves, between the sheets, and taking boat trips into deeper water. When a scuba excursion goes horribly wrong, and Abe winds up missing, Lydia is left in the arms of her scuba guide, Liam.
Torn between mourning her lost boyfriend, this new and exotic man keeping her attention, and tragedy with her family business back home that arose the moment Abe vanished, Lydia is overwhelmed with a plethora of emotions and the pages become filled with mystery and sexual tension. There’s a missing boyfriend, a secret girlfriend, a family empire getting completely demolished, the hunky scuba instructor acting as the hero, a mysterious gemstone seemingly appearing out of nowhere, and a curvy blonde at the center of it all.
This was a fun, action-packed, and steamy read. I got through it fairly quickly and I’m glad I finally finished it after having it sitting on my shelf for so many years. I wasn’t completely head-over-heels for the characters or the plot. They were just things I didn’t relate to and found myself not fully investing in, but for what it was, a quick beach or poolside read, then definitely give it a go!
My Final Rating: three out of five stars
