When NADIA COLEMAN crashes into the cold and aloof CEO, LUCA SHOLA. She’s embarrassed by her calamitous first impression and he’s not amused by her either.

Until they meet again on the dance floor and they can’t deny the intoxicating pull they feel for each other.

But, they’ve got secrets to hide and there’s no place for love in their lives.

Nadia’s determined to rid her life of a man that's abused her by destroying the secret society that’s allowed him the freedom to do so.

Luca’s tied to an abusive woman of his grandfather’s choosing while being groomed as the next leader of the Syndicates.

The more Nadia and Luca learn about each other, the more their lives become entangled, but for two people scarred by trauma, can they find the strength in themselves to hold on to each other and the love blossoming between them?

Me Too is an interracial romance filled with comedy, suspense and subtle hints of the Myth of Hades and Persephone sprinkled amongst the pages of this sweet love story.

Quotes from ARC readers on Goodreads:

"The word I'm looking for that highlights my thoughts on it is 'iconic'. There are just too many lessons in this book that are so well-woven into the story not to express this, to be honest."

"I'm not really a romance reader. I don't mind reading it, but not really my favorite genre. This book, however, I really liked. This is so much more than a romance novel."

"Me Too is the beautifully broken love story I didn't know I needed...I recommend this book to any lovers of the Greek story of Hades and Persephone, as well as lovers of the Billionaire romance trope."

A must-read gripping romance
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 January 2022
Format: Kindle Edition

I don’t normally read a lot of romance books, but this novel had so much going on and had so many different angles to it, there really is something for every reader.

I really got into the story and was willing on Nadia and Luca and their loved ones! This book keeps you gripped and you definitely root for the couple right until the final pages. It’s beautifully written and it’s such a joy to follow the main characters as they fall in love.

Although there is definitely a dark side to this book and you should take note of the content warnings provided, there is also a lot of light and lot of fun in this book. And definitely some sexiness! Add this book to your TBR pile!

The Batty Astor
A MUST-READ!
Reviewed in the United States on 1 November 2021
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

The first thing I would like to say about this novel is that, in my personal opinion, it sincerely should be a bestseller. The word I'm looking for that highlights my thoughts on it is 'iconic'. There are just too many lessons in this book that are so well-woven into the story not to express this, to be honest.

(PLEASE DO MIND THE CONTENT WARNINGS! I can handle dark content, but it's important to be aware that really serious traumas are highlighted in this book and talked about! It's very emotional!)

I'll give some background on myself-- I practically NEVER stray from my chosen genre, which is fantasy. I tend to get incredibly bored with any genre aside from it, but I wanted to give it a try and support this. I did not expect to eat this book up over the course of two days, nor to be crying, gasping, or cheering the entire time I was reading this. Let me tell you something important: This book reaches ACROSS GENRE and can hook people like me who pretty much never stray. This novel had so much to offer me as a fantasy reader, even though it wasn't in my genre. And I think that's important to mention.

I haven't read many romance novels absent of fantasy, but this novel seriously, in my opinion, highlights the most important things that should be seen in relationships. The toxic relationships are on the nose--as they should be. It's far too often that toxic relationships are put on a pedestal in media, and "Me Too" laughs in the face of that. No--Nadia x Luca is built in a very beautiful fashion, with their ups and downs, and consent is emphasized with them wholeheartedly. I'm going to say just that for now in this top part of the review, though, as I do spoilers in the middle so I can have a more in-depth discussion.

Before I get into that, however, I want to mention the fantasy-thing one more time. There are references, quite a bit, to Hades x Persephone from Greek Mythology, and I was LIVING for it. Not to mention the discussion of fantasy novels, and some phrases similar to "We'll slay the dragon together later" (I noted the exact phrase but can't find it right this second, so I'll say I'm in the ballpark with it.) Therefore, I was thrown into their world with dazzling eyes even though I wasn't reading what I was used to.

Also, I do want to mention the blending of Hawi'i culture here, as someone who isn't from said culture (I am white, native to the Northeast United States). I think it was wonderful to learn a bit about it in this novel, and I was thrilled to be here for that. It was educational in that fashion, something I feel more of my fellows should pay attention to and appreciate the beauty of the cultures. Because it was so beautiful in this novel. Nadia learning the language (and knowing several languages prior) is just so wonderful, she's, as I said, iconic as can be.

And now, without further ado, I'm going to talk about specifics.

**SPOILERS START!**
We get into Nadia pretty much slamming or tripping into Luca, which we find out later in the book is due to her brain trauma from the break-in via Jonathan. It was interesting how that trope (the 'clumsy but awesome') was explained in a super realistic, and very sad, fashion.

I'm going to jump around a bit and come back to what I was talking about, but wanted to mention Jonathan and treating Nadia like that "kitten" was a good example of BDSM relationships in a very wrong, horrible fashion, and how some doms will be abusive/take advantage of subs. Not true BDSM, which is actually shown with Luca x Nadia, who have a safeword (Petals, how utterly fantastic). There was EXCELLENT contrast shown here! A toxic vs. nontoxic BDSM relationship, and taking it slow after the abuse, which was just super important. There are so many lessons in this novel, but this right here is what I LOVE to see, and what NEEDS to be seen in general.

Note that Nadia being shown to need to count to calm down is very important. She's shown as vulnerable and needing others to calm down--and that is okay. This should be shown and understood to people. No one can have iron skin, and we all need help sometimes. I think the way this was handled in the book was just so excellent. It shows the effect of abuse and how, sometimes, you CANNOT stand against it without breaking down. And that's okay.

The other lesson that needs to be seen is male abuse and r*pe. Luca was unfortunately dealt both with Ciara, who also was displayed being extremely manipulative, apologizing and trying to make it up to him with the fake tears. This actually shows the issue with 'white women tears' as well, and how men will be taken advantage of in this fashion. This is a lesson I think all of my fellow white women really need to pay attention to, because it's wrong and on display here, even if subtle in some cases (I saw it, I applaud it for being brought up, because unfortunately it is reality.) Luca rightfully was concerned that this would get him into a huge amount of trouble if it was brought up. Also, however, the fact that he was worried he would not be taken seriously either. There were instances of "Wait, how could someone like her overpower you?" as well, but this book shows that it's just not that simple. It's never that simple, and these things need to be taken very seriously.

His grandfather, Gregory, was disgusting and terrible. Not much to say other than I want to see him ripped to shreds wholeheartedly.

I liked the positive relationship shown with Luca and his family as well. I saw a little bit of Lacey but loved how fierce she was and just the amount of love there despite what they went through with their grandfather. His bubbly father was lovely, and his mother very warm.

Raquel was a huge treat, I loved seeing her in the end, and just how fierce she was. Minerva was also just top notch best friend, like I was cheering her on for being such a wonderful person.

I enjoyed the guards as well! I was wondering to myself: "Wait do CEOs have a ton of guards in real life too?!" I'm still curious, to be honest. It's a world I've never seen before, so that was a new one.

The dancing was a JOY. I loved seeing the lighthearted moments crop up with those dance competitions. I just... everything about it filled me with happiness, and it came at the right times as well.

The whole Syndicate plotline was so worrying and engaging, and that's also what really had my attention, too. Would this horrible organization win out or be taken down? And YIKES were they horrible, seriously. These trafficking rings along with their treatment of people in general were on full display in this book. I don't doubt this activity does happen in real life as well.

There is so much more I could say, but I think that's the gist of it, without making this TOO long!

**END SPOILERS**

All in all, this novel is a treasure, and I highly recommend it even to fantasy readers who might want to dip their toes into another genre every so often. As I said, I don't ever do this, and it was a very pleasant surprise.

The office and CEO themes were not overdone. To me, that setting is kind of boring(though was not in this book), but somehow Eli made it very interesting and enjoyable to read. Those scenes were not a drag at all. They weren't drawn out and unbearable, and in fact, it was cool learning about that sort of ideology as well. I don't know much about shareholders, CEOs, marketing, and all of that, but it was neat seeing that environment in action. There was also an important lesson in there too, how minorities are looked down upon and seen as 'token' when they are perfectly qualified (usually even more so) than their white counterparts. Nadia wiped the floors with everyone she came into contact with, and kept her chin up even at the rare loss.

I think I covered everything I wanted to say off of the top of my head! This book deserves all 5 stars and even more. As I said in the beginning, I feel like it should be a bestseller, as there are far too many important lessons in this book that pop up.

I would read the sequel, as well as other works by Eli. Especially fantasy, can't wait to nab more of those from her.

Pick this book up for an amazing romantic treat choc full of very healthy lessons on consent and the contrast between toxic vs. nontoxic relationships. It's so nice to see proper BDSM representation, as well, for a change!

Great Debut Romantic Suspense!!!
Reviewed in the United States on 12 December 2021
Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
*Content Warnings: domestic violence, rape (off page), panic attacks, anxiety, attempted suicide, and racism (very much so)*

I enjoyed reading this books so much!! I'm giving it 4 stars!! This is such a good debut romantic suspense novel.

I really enjoyed how much Nadia and Luca's relationship slowly built from friends to lovers. They such tender, wholesome, and loveable moments together. Especially since they were each going through so much dark stuff and I felt so bad for them and I'd definitely never wanna be in their situation.

I felt like the way bdsm was handled and introduced was also well done. I definitely would've like to see more of how it would've played out with Nadia and Luca's dynamic but I feel like the pace they went matched their healing process and I was fine with them not fully showing what their into but instead taking their time.

The suspense was definitely a slow build and at times I would get frustrated with how helpless the main characters would be and wishing they could just immediately stab the people causing alm their issues. I overall enjoyed it and it definitely picked up and got more dramatic to the end.

I do think at times the conversations Nadia and Luca's had would get repetitive but also they were just extremely reassuring to each other and that really matched the trauma they've experienced and the lack of genuine romantic love they have had.

I loved the side characters and Cameron and Minerva a lot!! Also bonus points for having a book soundtrack because now I have some amazing new music to add to my rotation.

Overall I think this is such a promising start to the authors writing career and after reading the sneak peek for the next book with Nadia's cousin. I'm extremely excited and will be pre-ordering!

I love Nadia and Luca
Reviewed in the United States on 18 August 2023
Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
Wow❤️ this story really blew me away! Nadia and Luca’s journey was a wild roller coaster of action, adventure, suspense and most importantly, finding ways to overcome their dark pasts and hurts. Nadia is the perfect flawed heroine who refuses to give up on life and Luca is sensitive, thoughtful, caring and kind. They fit each other perfectly and I really enjoyed the side characters as well, especially Raquel and Minerva. I thought the dance battles were fun breaks in between the heavy seriousness of the story, and the cute banter between Nadia and Luca was everything! I also loved the Hawaiian culture being incorporated throughout. This was a great read and I look forward to reading so much more by Eli B!

Different is good. I'm more of a traditional love story girl, this book had my emotions all over the place. That's not a bad thing. I will admit that this book was kind of long, the dance battles did nothing for me and a few times I questioned the security abilities. I also wasn't a fan of the strings that were left hanging but what can you do.

The things I did like was how well written and the care taken with Luca's trauma. I loved that Nadia and Luca were friends first. My first story by this author, not my last

WARNING!!!
This book is DEFINITELY not for the week. Or even the emotionally romantic. This book had me in feeling so long I had to stop so many times and look for my squishy ball.

I have to admit, this the first time I’ve ever read anything from this author, and not only that. This book is the first of many that I have planned to read. I even want to check out Luca’s and Nadia’s reading list.

I’M so looking forward to seeing if Raquel can tell her story. Hint hint…
