Christy's 5 star review:
After reading
Motion, I was so excited to jump into
Space. I really enjoyed the first installment and was hoping to enjoy this one all the same. Honestly, I didn’t expect to love
Space so hard, but it was a pleasant surprise!
Two years have gone by since Mona and Abram have seen each other. Mona has been holding on to this big secret, but she’s also been holding on to the love she’s had for Abram. Abram is more clever than she gave him credit for. He’s now a successful musician and Mona’s been his muse of sorts. He loves her and hates her and doesn’t know how to feel about her.
Mona and Abram end up in the same place at the same time. It’s awkward to say the least. Reading this one gave me feels, made me laugh, and gave me so much anxiety. I was overloaded with all different emotions. You just have to read it for yourself to see why…
At the beginning of this one I wasn’t too happy with Abram. I mean, he was a jerk at times. Sure, Mona had lied and some it was founded but I still didn’t love his attitude. But man oh man did that get turned around, and fast. Penny, once again killed it with this book. Abram. Sigh. This one line. It’s everything. I’m swooning all over the place just reading it.
“I need someone to listen to my heart.” His face inched closer. “And it only wants to beat for you.”
Seriously, I went from liking Abram to straight up loving him. He 100% won me over. And I still enjoyed Mona’s character every bit as much as I did in the first book. I love her smarts, her personality, and her humor. She had me laughing out loud more than once. And this scene specifically took me back to my childhood- this was mine and my dad’s favorite show growing up.
‘What will you do when you have kids?’ and I’m like, ‘The same thing I do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world.’”
After finishing this, all I can say is give me more Mona and Abram! I’m head over heels for this couple. I loved this story so much. I only hope the final installment is as great as this one. With Abram and Mona’s chemistry and intriguing storyline, I have no doubts! If you’re like me and love a unique, sexy, smart, and funny romance- pick this one up!!
Excerpt:
“Hi—hello,” she said, stepping forward but not out of the way, drawing my attention.
She was still staring at me, her face still pale, but her eyes had turned searching instead of stunned.
“I—” She stopped herself, swallowing, her gaze dropping to the front of my coat, a cute little frown furrowing her eyebrows. In the next moment, she was pulling off the glove of her right hand. Abruptly, she shoved the ungloved fingers toward me, returning her eyes to mine. “I’m Mona.”
I suppressed my disbelief at her small action before it could break my outward mask of calm. I wasn’t calm. Just to be clear, I was the opposite of calm.
The fact that she was introducing herself to me now meant that she thought I was too stupid to figure out her lies over the last two-and-a-half-fucking years. She was arguably one of the smartest people in the world, after all. To her, people like me must seem like housebroken pets. So it shouldn’t have surprised me. But it did. The tension and tightness around my ribs reappeared, squeezing uncomfortably.
Dropping my attention to her bare hand, I pressed my lips into a tighter line, dismissing the way my pulse jumped at the sight of her wrist, the olive tone of her skin under the yellow string lights overhead. Glaring at her outstretched offering, I considered telling her to go to hell.
I considered it, but I wouldn’t.
I didn’t trust myself to speak, that was reason number one.
The other reason was harder to explain, or use as a justification, or admit to myself. Staring at her hand, I braced against a sudden flare of hunger. She might consider me a lower life-form, but that didn’t change the fact that I wanted to touch her. I wanted to touch her more than I wanted to tell her to go to hell, and that was fucking pitiful.
But there it was.
Acting on the compulsion, I lifted my right hand and tugged off the ski glove, sliding my warm palm against her much colder one. Her hand felt good in my hand, the right weight, the right size, the right texture, and I inhaled freezing air.
Mona also seemed to suck in a slow but expansive breath as our hands touched, held. This brought my eyes back to hers in time to see her lashes flutter. Pink colored her previously pale cheeks. The sound of the wailing wind, the sting of the air and frost momentarily melted away, leaving just her, her soft skin warming against mine, her beautiful face filling my vision.
So beautiful.
She really was. She was stunning. I hated that she was still so beautiful to me.
