Review of Desperation of Love by Alice Montalvo-TribueBook provided by author for honest review.Desperation of Love is a very sweet and sexy romance. The author did a good job of making me fall in love with the characters, however, I would like to note there were several times I could have clocked both Alex and Jordan. I'm all for angsty love stories, but holy crap, get your poop in a scoop already! I say that, only because this book made me cry. Not just once or twice... no I cried three times while reading this book. (Alice, you big jerk!) I loved it though.Jordan has serious issues. She has some deep seeded relationship phobias that basically turn her into a blumbering mess anytime she feels like commitment is on the horizon. She saw her bff Elle get her HEA and starts to wonder if maybe it could be something she wants, but she doesn't know how to even pretend to commit. Alex, Victor's brother, is one hot guy. He is older than the average bbf, but I like that, I don't have to feel like a dirty cougar lusting after him. Alex wants Jordan, but there is a lot of wall to break through for him to get his way. Both Alex and Jordan have a lot of bumps along the way and a few of those will break your heart and possibly send you into a tear fest or three. Le sigh.The only thing that sort of put me off of this book is that I almost felt like Alex and Victor had the same voice. There were a few personality differences that would show through from time to time, but for the most part I almost forgot there was a difference between the two. I would have loved to see Alex really own the slight domliness that he showed, it was part of what made him stand out from his brother's sweet, gentile ways.Desperation of Love gets 4 stars for storyline and 4 stars for smuttiness.Review by the Head Whore at Mommy's a Book Whore.[...][...]
