Mister #5
Mr. Bloomsbury
He's cold, rude and undeniably arrogant.
That’s how Andrew Blake's best friends describe him.
Try being his new assistant.
Nothing I do is good enough.
The more I try and please him, the more he ignores me.
I’m beginning to wonder if there’s a heart in that tall, hard, gorgeous body of his.
After work I’m complaining about him to my new best friend—the bartender at the pub near the office.
Guess who’s seated behind me and has heard every gripe, grumble and grievance?
By the look in Andrew's eye, I can't tell if I'm going to get fired or kissed.

What a heart! Cranky, rude, and hot AF.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you like it hot and spicy, Mr. Bloomsbury is one for you!
He is a jerk, but when he is on fire, watch out!
I love the way Bay created this story with Andrew. It is unique and just a bit weird. Is it effective? Heck, yes!
The storyline keeps you off balance just a bit. The characters have the ability to dive deep into the heat and spice that simmers below the surface and then explodes all over!
I love the way she balanced the characters. Sofia is tough, smart, and doesn’t deal with his BS. He is a stickler to routines, standoffish, and a jerk on the outside, but a softie on the inside. And when they collide, it’s hot!
This story is special because it is unique and not the run-of-the-mill recycled content. The author includes the heat we love and a wonderful HEA that gives us a fabulous epilogue. You cannot help but love both of the characters and end up totally falling for Andrew. Yum!
Definitely grab this winner from Ms. Bay. She feeds my addiction to these millionaire/billionaire stories!!

Louise Bay has created a series about men who have deep friendships despite all the personal odds they have had in the past. Each of these men has been complicated in different ways, having interesting backstories causing their issues, and always knowing that this very tight group would have their backs. We have a taste of each and this time Bay's focus is on Andrew.
Oh, Andrew... A man who is driven; doesn't entertain fools, and thinks small talk is completely a waste of time and silly. He comes across as cold, and curt, and some could wonder why have him as a friend.
Yet, there is another side to this man, and if it shows, one sees a caring individual. That side is just well hidden. Andrew runs an extremely successful company that looks at other firms, sees where they are on the brink of loss, comes in, and reorganizes to make them profitable. Some see this as cold and calculating but actually, he is trying to save jobs and companies.
Now being this man's assistant is not easy and it turns out Natalie, Sofia's bestie and the flat lender has had enough. She has reached her limit with the man and walks off the job. Sofia is staying with Natalie because she is on a personal mission of her own. The problem is even with an MBA from an elite university, Sofia hasn't landed anything in London, and when she hears of the salary Natalie just walked away from, she asks if it would be ok if she went for it and tried to get Natalie's job for herself. With a blessing from her friend, she goes for it.
This combination of "New York/New Jersey Italian Sofia and British Andrew" is insane. She does not back down, he is silent, and full of rules and when he does talk, he is either rude or curt.
Sofia has many plans and complications, Andrew has an interest in Sofia, and both are locked in this desire for each other fighting all the rules Andrew usually has. And if that isn't enough, there is a business issue that places Sofia and Andrew working together causing all kinds of complications.
As icing on this delicious cake is the chemistry that is undeniable between these two. Bay is not shy in her scenes when characters get together, she is an expert in sensuality. This has all of those elements and more. You have two very strong characters, no milk toasts, and hurrah, and each is able to stand up and use their voice.
Louise Bay has created a very successful continuing/connected series, each with a HEA and hints as to whose next. Since it was about six men's friends, the only one left is Tristan. He is up next and I am sure, he will be the hardest to fall.

4.5 stars
A workplace romance between the boss and his assistant; the assistant that basically just showed up and took over for the one who walked out the day before, the boss who has a reputation for being cold and distant and yet he can’t ignore the way his new assistant drives him to distraction? Yes, please! Louise Bay offers up this fantastic story in Mr. Bloomsbury and it was an absolute delight to read. Smart, sexy, and with just enough conflict to keep it interesting, I loved this story.
Sofia Rossi moved to London with one goal in mind, to get to know her sperm donor father who left the minute he found out her mother was pregnant and get $50k from him to pay for her mother’s knee replacement surgery, but first she has to find a position and that hasn’t been going well. Despite having an MBA from Cambridge, she hasn’t found any position and she’s running out of time. Sleeping on a friend’s sofa can only last so long, but when that friend quits her well paying assistant’s job because she can’t stand her cold, uncaring, uncommunicative boss, Sofia decides that she’s going to make that job hers.
Despite being well known and respected in the business world, Andrew Blake has no idea how to handle the woman who accosted him at 5:15 a.m. and basically told him she was going to be his new assistant. He also didn’t send her away something that confused him a bit, but he quickly learns that Sofia is a go-getter; she’s smart and intuitive and can put up with him and his way of doing things.
Running in to one another at a bar was unexpected, even more so was him going home with her where the chemistry between them set the sheets on fire, but at the office it was status quo.
I enjoyed Sofia and Andrew’s story a lot especially seeing Andrew out of his comfort zone for a good part of it. I loved that Sofia challenged him, she could keep up with him in all ways, and that she made him look at life differently. I appreciated that Andrew was able to see that Sofia was good at balancing all aspects of her life from forging a relationship with her estranged father, to supporting her mother as best she could, keeping their personal and professional lives separate, and offering suggestions and solutions regarding a business deal. I absolutely adored Sofia’s smart and sassy attitude towards life.
Low on drama but high on emotion and sexiness, I loved Mr. Bloomsbury.

Definitely more lust-focused than anything else, this office romance wastes no time in getting steamy and staying that way throughout. Whenever I dive into a book by Bay, I kind of already know what I'm going to get - British businessman who heats up the sheets before slowly simmering into love - and that's the case here as well. It's all about their office dynamic and then their bedroom (or semi-public) escapades, with very little time spent on the actual emotional connection. What I really liked about this one though was the unique concept about how their relationship develops - this hero likes to keep business and pleasure completely separate, so when he encounters his new assistant in a bar, he uses a different name and pretends that he doesn't know her. That adds an interesting element to the story, and I loved the how that unfolded. Did I buy their ROMANTIC feelings for each other though? Not really.
The story follows Sofia, an American who moved to London to meet her deadbeat dad. She's got a great education but has been struggling to find a well-paying job, so when her roommate decides that she can't stand working for her jerk of a boss any longer, it gives Sofia an idea. She can handle bossy Brits, and it seems like the perfect job to fill up her bank account while she looks for something else. But Sofia gets more than she bargained for with Andrew - the sexy jerk is cold and aloof at the office, but an entirely different person out of it. He has made it clear that he doesn't mix business with pleasure, and that becomes obvious when he doesn't acknowledge their working relationship out of the office. As Sofia starts a sexy fling with out-of-the-office Andrew, she realizes that he might just be the kind of guy she could fall for.
The unique dynamics of their relationship saved this from being a 3-star read for me, because I really liked how we see two very different sides of Andrew. He already lost one career because he crossed lines at work, so he has no intention of doing that again. I wish we had seen more of their relationship outside of work (and outside of the bedroom), because this probably could've been pretty special if that had been the case. It's a solid read if you're looking for heat and a forbidden office romance though. The vibe is tense but not overly heavy, and grumpy bosses are a classic for a reason. We catch up with past couples from the series, but this will also read as a standalone if you're not caught up. Overall, a stronger emotional connection would've made this a standout read, but it's not bad as is. I received an early copy and am voluntarily leaving a review of this steamy office romance.

Mr. Bloomsbury was a good, swoonie, steamy read.
I was invested in the story since the beginning, it was a wonderful journey.
Sofia Rossi is a new yorker in London, after an exhausting research she gets a job as assistant for Andrew Blake. He is a cold and not too friendly boss but Sofia isn't discouraged and she keeps working hard. When they fortuitously meet after work in a bar they begin to know each other better, to unveil a new side of them, and their professional rules start to blur.
I liked both the main characters and I loved how they were depicted with two very different personalities that mix and blend really well. Sofia and Andrew have an incredible steamy chemistry in the bedroom, but also a surprising connection at the office. They and their relationship are swoon worthy, I was rooting for them throughout the book.
I'll never get tired to recommend Louise Bay books because she is great writing Billionaire storylines.

⭐️⭐️ two stars -
Well, this was disappointing. Louise Bay is either a hit or miss for me, and this one was a miss, and a DNF at 25%.
Two stars because the writing technique displayed by Bay is satisfactory, but stars missing for the plot line, which I decided I didn’t care for and didn’t care to carry on.
What’s wrong with it? I, like you, scoured reviews and kept seeing review after review that was positive, and I was excited and intrigued to read a new romance set in London. Sadly I’m not going to be one of those reviewers that’s going to leave a glowing review 🤷♀️
For me, I decided that I didn’t like the heroine, and that’s where this whole thing snowballed. My rant on why I don’t like her will contain mild spoilers (since I only read to the 25% mark, you don’t really need a spoiler alert).
Here’s why I stopped: Sophia’s first act is to basically steal her bff’s job - granted the bestie was quitting, but that just didn’t sit right with me the way she pounced on her friend’s job, but this wasn’t the dealbreaker, so I carried on at this point.
Continuing on, our heroine morphs into this character that is basically pulling a con on her biological father, and this had me pausing - it’s such a distasteful story line to add to this type of story. I don’t want to read about a heroine that’s a scammer, and who’s playing an unsuspecting family for monetary gain. Especially considering that our h was welcomed into the lives of this family with open arms. I was disgusted with this plot point, but guess what? I continued reading…
Then we got to the straw that broke this camel’s back: our h and H are in a pub where they act like strangers, and they carry on as such. This could be a foreshadowing of their kink, who knows, I’m not judging, but I was here to read a romance, and I’m not in the mood for this type of borderline smut atm.
It’s Louise Bay, and I was expecting a sweet romance, not a conniving heroine. Not to mention the fact that Sophia (our h here) was typecast as some sort of over-the-top Catholic who crosses herself everywhere she goes - yet has no problem trying to fleece her biological father for cash.
I’m not interested in watching this cardboard cutout h shakedown her long lost father in the ultimate con, so I shelved this one to DNF, and the search for romance continues on 📚
Two stars. Do not recommend.

Another delicious visit to London and yet another broody, dominant alpha London man to get all swoony over. Louise Bay can bring all that billionaire workplace tension and steam.
Andrew Blake is powerful. Stoic. Detached. Precise. Orderly. He’s got a well crafted business acumen - and it’s why he’s so successful. And what better to knock this guarded man off his axis than his new American assistant. Her strength and intelligence enamor him, her fortitude arouses him, and thanks to a serendipitous moment, professional lines get blurred.
There’s a good amount of steam in here, even though I felt parts of the story moved slowly. The book just felt a bit long, and perhaps that is because I didn’t quite connect with Andrea at first-he took a minute to win me over. The chemistry kicked in, though, and I did enjoy watching these two let their guard down and start to connect more. Ultimately, another great edition to this series.

March 17, 2022This is not a bad book, but just not the right book for me now.
And too cliché if I'm honest: Sofia is American, daughter of a single mum who worked 3 jobs to raise her daughter. Now said mum needs a surgery, and to get the momey, Sofia flies to London where her absentee dad lives. Who, ofc, is rich, never paid a penny to support Sofia, and has a proper English familiy, including a wife who wears classy cashmere jumpers and a pearl necklace, two half sisters dressed in matching checked dresses with velvet ribbons in their hair and, ofc, a butler.
Sofia is effortlessly sexy without meaning to, and her boss is instantly in lust but fights his attraction, even though he's intrigued by her and her sassy attitude.
So... no. Not for me right now. I'll stop before I roll my eyes even more.

I am so glad I discovered Louise Bay and just adore her writing style featuring strong steadfast heroes and smart, relatable heroines. I’ve devoured everything she’s ever written and the Mister Series is one of my favorites. Each book is a standalone, but features interconnected characters, a group of male friends from the wealthy parts of London, who each find love.
I thought it was very clever to name each book title after the district they were from. I am from the USA so eagerly researched these towns and am so impressed! While some people visit London and want to see Kensington Palace, I want to see Mayfair, Knightsbridge, Smithfield, Park Lane, Bloomsbury, and Notting Hill! Louise’s words sucked me in like a vortex, and I just want to live there and become friends with all of these amazing characters!
Mr. Bloomsbury is the fifth book in this series and features Andrew Blake, a successful independent businessman who restructures companies to make them more profitable. He is difficult to work for and isn’t even aware he needs a new assistant until Sofia Rossi propositions him one morning before the sun even rises.
When her roommate (or flatmate as they say in London) who held the coveted, well-paying job working for Mr. Blake decides to quit and move back to the USA, Sofia steps in to save the day. She’s in need of a good paying job to help her mother with some upcoming medical bills, so it’s a win–win in her opinion, and she is willing to make the sacrifice and become his assistant.
This book is very witty and I found myself chuckling at how blunt and honest Sofia is. She is determined and focused, and with an MBA from Columbia University, she has both beauty and brains. And she isn’t going away.
Her persistence and his shock were just so funny to read! Although he wants to tell her to skedaddle, he is equally impressed and captivated. She obviously is overqualified for the position and keeps showing up, even though he is curt, abrupt, and demanding. Andrew is certainly not a swoony smooth talker and that’s what I found so endearing. He is set in his ways and the growly type of bear you just want to hug. He isn’t mean or disrespectful, and Sophie burrows deep in his heart and truly gets him.
And you won’t have to wait long for the couple to come together, as their sexual chemistry is off the charts and they give into their desires early on! I love the unique way the author created the two separate Andrews, the work boss and the lover, and couldn’t stop reading until the very end. Let me tell you there are abundant steamy times that burn up the pages, and I liked that they only had eyes for each other and that Andrew was never a player.
Andrew is so vulnerable and is trying to do the right thing, and I loved how he sent the “bat signal,” implying he needed an immediate meeting with his mates to ask for their advice and perspective regarding Sofia. I thought their words of wisdom were perfect and very true to their characters. I thoroughly enjoyed this scene with all the friends together again. They were loyal and supportive and gave Andrew affirmation to what he knew all along.
I admired how close Sofia was to her mom and how she appreciated her mother’s selfless work ethics to raise her. Sophie was independent and loyal, and I felt for her the entire time she was getting to know her birth father, his wife, and her stepsisters while in London. There were other stories woven through which added so much depth to the story.
The author does a wonderful job describing the character’s emotions; I especially loved Sofia’s honest self-evaluation of her relationship with both of her parents, and how she was true to herself as she sorted out her feelings, and made good ethical choices. The same goes for Andrew as he re-evaluates a past relationship that made him super cautious.
These two weren’t expecting to find love, but against all odds, they did. They loved each other for who they were and didn’t try to change each other. They accepted and respected each other, and supported and loved each other unconditionally. I loved how they were a team and how he had her back and said, “what’s mine is yours.” I loved his fumbled, jumbled proposal and how he wasn’t swoony with his words, but you swooned anyway, because they came from his heart and he was so sincere. The epilogue was just perfect and made me smile ear to ear.
I felt nothing but true joy and elation when reading Mr. Blomsbery, and hope you give this book and author a shot if you are not already familiar with her wonderful words.
You can start in any order, but the other books in this series are:
Mr. Mayfair featuring Beck and Stella
Mr. Knightsbridge featuring Dexter and Hollie
Mr. Smithfield featuring Gabriel and Autumn
Mr. Park Lane featuring Joshua and Hartford
Mr. Bloomsbury featuring Andrew and Sofia
And coming soon, Mr. Notting Hill featuring Tristan, the last of the bachelors who I am sure is going to be knocked right off of his feet.
I thought it was very clever to name each book title after the district they were from. I am from the USA so eagerly researched these towns and am so impressed!

DNF @ 41%
Cliché, shallow, and disappointing.
I actually had high hopes for this book based on the initial description of Andrew in the first few chapters - he acted so curt and cold to everyone, so of course I was excited to see how that would transform when he started to develop feelings for Sofia. But nope, joke’s on me because there was absolutely zero buildup, sexual tension, or relationship development. The MCs simply see each other at a bar one night and Andrew's personality does a COMPLETE 180 and he starts hitting on her. And by 180, I mean he acted like a totally different person, I honestly got confused and thought I skipped a few scenes. This author clearly put no effort into developing any chemistry between the MCs.
Genuinely, the only reason I can think of for all the 5 star reviews on this book is that they’ve read this author’s previous works and are used to this kind of pacing but it did not work for me at all.

4 - 4.25 stars!
Mr. Bloomsbury is part of an interconnected series by Louise Bay and while I think this can be read as a standalone, there are characters from previous stories present. Surprisingly I really enjoyed this fluffy story. It balanced fluffy and steamy really nicely.
Sofia is from New York and living in London. She is smart, tenacious and takes no crap from anyone. She lands a personal assistant job to the cold and ruthless Andrew Blake who acts like she doesn't even exist on this planet. But Sofia needs this job and pushes through. One evening she finds herself at a local pub spilling her guts to the bartender about how her boss is such a grump and lo-and-behold he is sitting right behind her...and hears everything.
Andrew never mixes business and pleasure. He divides his life expertly and does not do attachments. But when he hears his new assistant talk about him as both an arrogant asshole and a piece of meat...well he takes notice. Andrew takes a leap and starts talking to Sofia at the bar as the person underneath the cold exterior he shows to the world. The lines begin to blur between personal and professional. Can Andrew and Sofia build a future together even with the obstacles they'll have to overcome?
As I said, this was surprisingly very good. Low angst, entertaining plot line and pretty hot sex (although I would have been fine with some extra steamy moments). The plot, while not entirely unique, had several elements of surprise that sets it apart from other stories. Andrew had a hidden dominant in him that was a delicious to read. Sofia, while a shark in the business world, had a submissive side just for Andrew and it was really sexy. Their chemistry in and out of the bedroom was palpable and the HEA/epilogue was just what I needed. If you're looking for a lighter contemporary romance with steam, fun banter and an intriguing plot then definitely give this a chance.
"...but there was something about her attitude and body and mind that was so fucking inexorable I just couldn't leave it alone.
And now I wanted my fill.
She was mine to consume from now until sunrise.
I wanted to feast on her."

Life with you is where I was meant to be all along and finally, I've found you."

5 star Review Mr Bloomsbury (The Mister series #5) by Louise Bay
Andrew Blake and Sofia Rossi intrigued me from the first to the last chapter and I was hooked on the story that Louise Bay wove.
Andrew is not known for a warm and welcoming personality. In facts he is aloof and detached from everyone around him, even his friends at times. Staying with her friend Natalie, Sofia decides to take on Natalie’s job when she resigns and becomes Andrew’s assistant; it’s a decision she may live to regret.
Andrew is a rich, powerful and determined man, he doesn't care what others think about him; he is his own man. There was something about him that really got to me and I really liked Sofia. She is sassy and determined and doesn’t give up easily.
There is something about Sofia that calls to Andrew and he is not sure who is more surprised by that. His feelings for her bring out a gentler side and I loved that. The camaraderie and friendships he has with the other men was heart warming. The chemistry and passion that sizzles between them was scorching and was impossible for them to ignore.
There was humour, steam, love and romance in Mr Bloomsbury. It was an entertaining story and I was cheering that they would get the happily ever after that they both deserved.

I literally devoured this book in a couple of hours. I forgot how much I like Louise's writing style... maybe I'll read other books in this series next.😁

Un libro sencillo, cuyo único objetivo es el de entretener.
A pesar de que, nada experimenta con la fórmula literaria y que se escuda en lo tradicional, da la oportunidad de disfrutar de una historia desenfada y cercana. Su elegante equilibrio entre la novela romántica al uso y el erotismo, le hace ser una lectura que no decepciona en absoluto y que genera a su paso una buena opinión.
Aunque si bien, se trata de la historia más sencilla de la saga, uno puede llegar a disfrutar de la trama de un personaje que, tiempo atrás se presentó ante el lector, convirtiéndose desde el principio en una promesa de entretenimiento.

In anticipation of this release, I went back to my audible library and binge listened to the first 4 stories in this series because I have loved this group of friends from the start and every one of their stories was uniquely perfect for each couple. It was an excellent series binge and so was Mr Bloomsbury when it was its turn to be read! I now cannot wait to make time to listen to the audio very soon!
It took me a few days longer than expected to get thru everything because, life, but happily, here I am, finally reviewing! :)
I adored both Andrew and Sofia, each for their own reasons! Their story sparked. Their interactions sparked. Their meet-cute was glorious and gave me all kinds of push-pull vibes that Louise Bay delivered on tenfold throughout the entire story! I loved the choices she made for their characters and the growth of both Sophia and Andrew not only in their individual lives, but also as a romantic team. Their story had very little angst/conflict per se, but it still had struggles and was full on heart and emotion. This is one of Louise’s superpowers. This woman can give you a multi-layered storyline with depth of characters and not have it bogged down with useless and trite conflicts the readers see coming a mile away. This was a unique workplace romance with two strong characters that sparked from beginning to end.
I would readily recommend any book by Louise Bay but this series is better than best in my opinion and I can’t wait to read about Tristan’s story this summer!

A chill blows through your heart and sends the senses into overload. Louise Bay has managed to dream up the ultimate alpha and seduce you into giving your heart over to the temptation that is Mr. Bloomsbury. Whether you love him or hate him, Andrew Blake makes a lasting impression.

Es una historia encantadora y los personajes están tan pulcramente perfilados que es casi como si los conociera.
Me he enamorado de Andrew (¿quién no?), pero me he enamorado todavía más de Sofía. No solo por el nombre, que es muy especial para mi familia, sino también por su carácter y pasión.
Son una pareja fantástica y casi me arrepiento de haber leído su historia en un santiamén. Ojalá tuviera pérdidas de memoria para disfrutar de ellos al menos una vez más...

I can always count on the lovely Louise to wow me with her words and intrigue me with her storyline.
Let's get to know Andrew Blake and Sophia Rossi.
Andrew not warm and fuzzy he is shrewd, regimented, alpha, stoic and loves structure. He is a man that runs his business with intellect and precise calculations. He has no time for romance yes, he has friends but even they know his habits. Get ready to watch Andrew be knocked off kilter and have his world turned on its side by the sweet, smart and sassy Sophia!
Sophia Rossi is a transplant from the USA and is living on her friend's couch while she finds a job to pay her share. She has her MBA from Columbia, but she knows that she will have to settle for work at this point. When her best friend has had enough of her arrogant boss Sophia steps in without an interview and takes her place. She can handle arrogant but the man before her is oh so much more! Her girly parts may be in a tingle!!
Andrew is not sure what just happened, but he once again drove away another assistant. Now a very resourceful, smart, sassy and quite stunning woman is now sitting in that chair. He soon finds out that he is not the only one in the office with drive, determination, ideas and attitude.
I just loved the refreshing smart and witty banter between this couple. I loved the out of office verbal sparring and the chemistry between them was explosive !

First time author for us, and we really enjoyed our first read by them. I have to say, we laughed a lot throughout this story as we thought Sophia was nothing short of being a firecracker or wisea** and mouthy, says it like it is kind of gal, loved the fact you never knew what would come out of her mouth.
Andrew was brutey and difficult all alpha and maybe just a tad misunderstood but, according to his friends, he is a good man below the surface. Loved how Sophia shook that man to his core.
The story was steamy and hot, and Sophia and Andrew had off the charts' chemistry. There were a ton of hot and sexy scenes fan worthy for sure. We loved them as a couple.
Overall, just loved it from cover to cover. Loved it all the characters, the hotness, it was a bit messy when it came to Sophia learning about her dad and how they are both coping in uncharted waters and whether they can put the past behind and move forward. Loved some of their interactions between Andrew and Sophia, they we just too funny.

This was my favorite of the series!!
I have patiently waited for Andrew's book from the beginning. So closed off, so grumpy but he has come through for his friends time and again. What kind of woman would break through the icy walls around his heart? Sofia!!! I loved everything from their first meeting, to their steamy (oh. So. Hot) times to their trip to New York.
Fast paced and fun, this book had me reading late into the night because I wanted more Andrew. Definitely a five star read!

This might be the best book in the series! Closed off, broody Andrew was the best alpha book boyfriend there is! It takes a special sort of person to let them show their softer side, and Sofia was it for Andrew! I loved her fiery spirit and the give and take between the two. It was so delightful to read! The chemistry between these two leaps off the page -- I was drooling over Andrew and his domineering side. Louise does such an amazing job creating these worlds that suck you, and before you know it, you've read the entire book in one sitting. Captivating, swoony and heartfelt, this book has it all!
This series has quickly become one of my favorites, and I love every single one of these books! I cannot wait for Tristan's story next!

Ya leí los cuatro primeros de la serie «Misters»:
1. «Mr. Mayfair».
2. «Mister Knightsbridge».
3. «Mr. Smithfield».
4. «Mr. Park Lane».
El inicio es de lo más aleatorio que he leído en mi vida, había muchas opciones para que el escenario se dispusiera de la manera en que ocurre y la que elige la autora es increíble cuanto menos. Luego la parte en la que hay flechazo (de química sexual porque de lo demás no es creíble) es más aleatorio todavía. Y por esto tiene dos estrellas en vez de tres.
¿Es entretenido? Sí. ¿Se deja leer? También, y se disfruta. PERO la puesta en escena es tan extraña que tienes que suspender demasiado la incredulidad para poder avanzar con la historia. Tuve que hacer de tripas corazón y decirme: venga, vale, lo que tú quieras.
Luego la historia ni tan mal, pero creo que es la que menos me ha gustado de todas.
