*****5 Stars*****
Leslie McAdam has done a fantastic job on her debut novel! She did an excellent job writing about a very difficult, dark subject matter: depression. And I just have to say that after reading this, she couldn't have picked a more perfect title for this book.
Lets start with Amelia Crowley. She has been battling depression ever since going through a traumatic event. She has just been cruising through life, numb, not feeling anything. She has written a set of rules pertaining to her sexuality and what she will and won't do based on how she was brought up by her parents. The author tackles her depression and suicidal thoughts, and us as readers are along for her ride to recovery.
In walks Sex God, Ryan Fielding! He is one hot surfer/coffee house guru. I could not get enough of him and all his sensualist ways! He has set out to help Amelia break all her rules and to allow her to just feel all the pleasure he has to offer her. Ryan was definitely an easy character to fall in love with. He is a very attractive, attentive, romantic, sensualist lover, so different from Amelia. They were complete opposites, like the sun and the moon. Will Amelia allow Ryan to help her break through all her rules and boundaries, or will she cling to them and lose their chance at love?
This story was a very good, easy read! I loved the many Harry Potter references throughout the book. You could definitely tell the author was a huge fan. The book was entirely in Amelia's POV, but I love how the author included some bonus scenes from Ryan's POV after the epilogue. I love getting able to see both sides. I can't wait to read what else Leslie McAdam has in store for us later on.
