I’ve read Tellulah’s Blooming Goddess series and had a blast with them, so I was excited to read her newest release, Get Real.

She always has fun, flirty characters and if I go by the cover for this one, there’s more fun in store.

Enjoy my review.

My Review
.
Sure, there’s a lot going on in this book. Covert ops, a wanna be paranormal detective. Supernatural shenanigans. But that’s only part of it.
.
I’m huge on character driven stories and Get Real has some fun ones.
.
I fell for Francesca immediately. She’s snarky, sexy, and so ready to become a paranormal detective and kick some supernatural butt.
.
Enter bad boy Rafael. Ooh, he’s swoon worthy to look at, has the under the lashes come hither look down pat, and a mouth begging to be kissed.
.
When Francesca and Rafa catch each others eye at a party, the heat goes up in the room. When they end up together in the bathroom, their kiss is steamy.
.
If you’re thinking, oh no, another love at first story, you’d be right, for a few minutes. Then Rafa drops an ice cube on the passion and walks away, leaving Francesca gasping for air. You can bet she’s not happy. She knew better than to go with a bad guy like Rafa. See if he ever kisses her again.
.
There are some other fun characters, but these two really had me going. The snarky dialogue, their inner thoughts, all of it cracked me up.
.
What happens next, you ask? You guessed it. Francesca and Rafa wind up having to work together as  the world around them starts going wiggy. And that’s just as fun. The two of them are as busy trying to ignore their attraction for each other, as they are for trying to stay alive.
.
Nothing but fun here. Looking for a little mystery and danger, some witty dialogue, and steamy romance? You should read this book. I promise you’ll laugh.

Synopsis:

Magic and Mayhem in Manhattan

Francesca Bellafiore comes from a nice Jewish family — one that happens to have magical powers. Underneath her good-girl exterior, though, she’s a wannabe badass with dreams of becoming a paranormal detective.

Party boy Rafael Muñoz does everything possible to publicly disappoint his high profile father. Privately, it’s a different story. His carefully crafted bad boy reputation masks the fact he’s a master illusionist, forced into solo covert ops. The role is wearing thin and Rafael longs to be part of a team.

When Francesca and Rafael meet, it’s love at first sight… For about five minutes. Rafael is spectacularly attractive—and, Francesca discovers, fully aware of the fact. Rafael knows from experience that girls like Francesca are more trouble than they’re worth.

So it sucks big time when they’re caught in a web of magic, minions, secrets, and enough sexual tension to power NYC. Their only chance to save the city and survive is to team up, trust each other–and maybe even fall in love.

Provided they don’t kill each other first.

Get Real is a romantic comedy, urban fantasy whirlwind with sass, sex, and swoon.

    A helpful review thank you.

  2. Mai Tran says:

    Question to the author: Who is a character from a TV show or a book that you’ve always resonated with?

  3. Snarky female detective and a bad boy with lots of banter? Man this sounds totally hot! Thanks for the great review.

  4. Giselle says:

    This sounds like such a fun and entertaining read! I’m also big on character driven stories – plot driven normally ends up boring me after a while. I’m glad you like it! 🙂

    • fuonlyknew says:

      It almost doesn’t matter what the plot is if the characters are genuine. I did say almost. LOL This plot is good too so that makes it double fun.

  5. So judging a book by it’s cover I probably wouldn’t have picked this one up as it doesn’t look anything like a paranormal or a detective novel. 🙂 But I put it on my list as it sounds cool. 🙂

    • fuonlyknew says:

      The paranormal elements make it even more interesting and she’s a wanna be detective so you can imagine the fun scenes. I love that cover but see what you mean. It’s all about Rafa and Francesca and when I look at it, I laugh. They are such a pair:)

  6. Betty W says:

    This sounds like a fun, laugh out loud book! Thank you for the great review and post!

  7. Anita Yancey says:
