La Cosa Nostra (This Thing of Ours) by Amie Nichols is a story of two individuals from completely separate worlds that find each other. Harper Troy is a college student that has built her life around her dream of becoming a Veterinarian. Raised on a farm in Iowa in a very close, tight-knit family, she ventured away to attend college at University of Illinois in Chicago. Working hard for what she wants, she has aligned all her efforts into earning entrance into a Work Study program in the U of I Veterinary program to complete her degree.Harper lands a job at The Guardian, an upscale gentlemen’s club that will help her through her college expenses. The Guardian is owned and run by the Tarseta family. On her first week of work, she catches the eye of none other than the rich playboy, Liam Tarseta. Liam has never really had to ‘want’ for anything in his life. He is not the type that has relationships that last more than one night. This is all until he meets Harper, or Pedal, as he calls her. They have an intense connect that pulls them together. Liam is attracted Harper’s to beauty and her tough outer shell.“It just came to me. You’re soft and beautiful like a flower, yet strong and hard like a bike.”After we are introduced to the characters, the plot takes you on a fast-paced roller coaster ride. The first half of the book is written from Harper’s POV and then we switch over to Liam’s POVs between the main characters that ends in a HEA. One of the things we loved the most was that the character development was so well that it just pulls you in as a reader. We can guarantee that once you start this book, you will not be able to put it down!REVIEWED BY SARAH BURNS FOR SUMMER'S BOOK BLOG
