RELEASE DAY: The Pickup by Nikki Ash

Title: The Pickup

Series: Imperfect Love Book 1

Author: Nikki Ash

Genre: Sports Romance Standalone

Release Date: February 7, 2019

Somebody once said we don’t decide who we love. The world decides for us. But I disagree.

I believe love is a decision.

Who we love, how we love.

It’s in our control--in our hands.

I grew up having no clue about the true meaning of love. Money. Cars. Houses. Status. Fame. That’s what love means to the people around me.

It wasn’t until the woman I picked up in a bar came back into my life and showed me love can be so much more.

So, what’s the problem?

The woman I’m falling in love with believes in fairytales. She compares everything to a storybook and wants the happily-ever-after.

So while she’s stuck on recreating stories that have already been told, page by page, I’m showing her it’s time we write our own book.

Nobody ever said the journey of falling in love would be easy, just that it would be worth it.

Let’s all just take a moment and look at this cover.... are you looking? Do you think it’s as gorgeous as I do? There’s something about a couple in an intimate embrace where they are both looking sexy and in love. The colors are appealing and really grasp your eyes... the gorgeous creatures that is on this cover keep my eyes. While the cover attracted my initial attention, that blurb intrigued me enough to need to read it. Any book that has a gorgeous cover and a blurb that seriously interests me is instantly added to my TBR. I have read and enjoyed another Nikki Ash book but only one or two so I’m not too sure of her writing and stories yet but The Pickup has sealed the deal for me. Nikki Ash is an author to follow.

I love when people get a second chance at love when they don’t believe they deserve a chance at it. Nick and Olivia are insanely hot together! The chemistry is off the charts. I adored them both instantly. I wanted to beat Nick while I wanted to shove him into Olivia’s waiting, loving arms. Seriously, the way they meet is amazing and they way they get their second chance is the sweetest. You have to read this story to get the lowdown... I’m not giving you any snippets.

Just a quick addition, Nikki Ashes writing was flawless. Her storyline is compulsive and unstoppable. The characters, both the main and side characters are ones you want more one. I really appreciate that there isn’t a ton of drama or too much unnecessary angst added. I might enjoy both; I dislike it added to stories unnecessarily. Miss Ash was spot on... creative, sweet, hot and totally charming!

I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.

“Here ya go!” He flings the DVD at me. “Planning to become one with your inner-princess self?” He chuckles and plops his ass onto the couch.

“Fuck you. I need to see how it goes.”

“How the movie goes? I can give you a play-by-play. My niece makes me watch this crap every time I babysit, so my brother and his wife can go out for some adult time. The girl seeks love, there’s an evil queen who tries to fuck it up, there’s a throw down of some sort, the prince saves her, and they live happily ever after. The end.”

I stare at him in silence. Clearly, there’s more to this shit than that. “Let’s just watch the damn movie.”

“First tell me why,” Killian insists.

“Liv’s dad said she wants the fairytale. He even compared it to a Disney movie. Usually the key to a woman’s heart is through my bank account, but not when it comes to Liv. She’s not letting me in. So, I’m going to figure out how to give it to her.”

“The bank account?”

“No! The fairytale!”

“You’re fucking nuts, man. Fairytale’s aren’t real. What you need to watch is Daddy’s Home.” He cackles, and I lift one brow, silently asking him to explain. “You know…the one where the dad and the stepdad are forced to get along. It’s hilarious and more accurate in our generation.”

“What happens in the movie?”

“The stepdad wants the kids to love him, but the real dad comes in and messes it up. Eventually they all co-exist.”

I grab my pillow and throw it at him. “I’m not preparing for Olivia to end up with another guy!”

“You really like this woman, don’t you?”

“Yeah, I do. I really liked her when I spent the night with her, but as you know, she left without leaving her number. Now I feel like I’ve been given a second chance, and I don’t want to fuck it up. She’s not like anyone I’ve ever met.”

“Damn…going soft on me.” Killian laughs.

“Shut the hell up. Now watch this fucking movie with me or leave.”

“Fine…but after your fairytale shit doesn’t work, we’re watching Daddy’s Home.”
