Eyes On

by Esme Brett

You know you have read a great novella when you finish reading and you feel happy tingles and when the characters leave you completely satisfied while still wanting more!🖤

The lovely Esme Brett has written a novella that delivers just that! I read Eyes On the other day and it left me with a goofy smile on my face!

I’m not a huge fan of contemporary romance... Often I find the character lacking… I feel like I should be able to relate more than I do. I’m not saying my life mirrors Greta or Francis, but their experiences made them human and real. I wanted to relate to them. Perhaps a younger single me does relate to them…

A quick synopsis, without giving too much away: Greta is at a party for her friends birthday. Strippers have been hired to interact with the inner circle of friends… the one left for Greta does not find her attractive. In comes, bar owner/ entertainment mogul Francis. He definitely finds Great attractive and is willing to prove it to her!

I’m always amazed when I finish a novella about all the nuances and information an author packs into a tiny package. When it’s done well it’s like eating a gourmet chocolate, it’s just one bite, but delicious and enough.

Eyes On by Esme Brett (@feminist_romance) is set to release November 21st - definitely check it out, I couldn’t take my eyes 👀 off of it!

🖤Thanks to Esme Brett for the ARC copy of this book.
