Will Ryan is good-looking, poetic,
spontaneous, and on the brink of fame when he meets Mia, his new landlord,
muse, and personal heartbreaker.
A story of self-discovery and
friendship, Sweet Thing shines light on the power of loving and letting go.
*****Oh Fuck Yeah (4 stars)****
If you know me then you know I really get into my books. Maybe a little too much but I see that as a good thing. If an author can pull me in and have me pissed off then they did their job. Well Renee you did your job!
Mia Kelly moves to NYC after her father's death and meets Will. They meet for a short time and then make their separate ways. Luckily Will needs a place to stay and Mia has a room for rent. Unfortunately Mia is stubborn (like me) and refuse to give into her feeling towards Will.
Let me take a moment here and.....
Mia! What the FUCK!!! I get it girl, love is scary and there are insecurities but it's WILL!!! So many times I was screaming at Mia to just let go. Mia pissed me off a few times but the person she became at the end had me happy for her
And Will I freaking LOVE you!!
“You needed to figure things out on your own. I was just waiting for you to come around.”
That line right that melted my heart. In those two sentences he stole me heart. He understands Mia. He gets her! OMG! I don't know what it is about those two sentences but I just....
In the end the story had a purpose. Love and life is very hard. It's not all sunshine and rainbows and Renee Carlino did an awesome job of telling us that story. Also THANK YOU for no crazy cliffhangers and for a HEA. I recommend this book to everyone!
15 semi awkward questions with Renee Carlino
Your top five smutty words that are instant mood killers?
Penis and Vagina – obviously there are better ways to say
this. Yet, I don’t like it when female
characters use the word pussy and I hate the word juices and cream or
creamy. You will never see those words
in a scene I write, I promise!
~OH THANK YOU!! I can not stand the word cream!
Ever use toys in bed?
Who me? Well there is
a bit of research involved when writing romance novels.
~of course, for "research" ;)
Star Wars or Star Trek?
Both, I’m a dork.
Orgasm every five minutes or never again?
Hmm. Probably never
again, I have kids and that could make life very strange for them.
We’ve all had dates from hell tell us about yours?
I used to have this pepper spray key chain for safety. I was on a date and fidgeting with it in the
car on the way to dinner. It went off,
spraying all over me. We skipped dinner
and went to urgent care. It was very
embarrassing. After the initial concern,
the guy I was on date with could not stop laughing at what an idiot I was. P.S.
You do not ever want to be doused in pepper spray, it’s horrible!
~I think that is the best worst date story I've ever heard!!
Sex in the morning, afternoon, or night?
D) All of the above
Although I think lazy morning sex is underrated.
~Oh no, you're one of those happy morning people huh.
Favorite book and author?
I have always loved John Irving, one of my favorites from him
is “The Fourth Hand”
But, I will say I am huge Diana Gabaldon fan too and LOVE
the OUTLANDER series.
Ever gone out without any panties on?
Duh, haven’t we all?
~**raises hand**
What is your biggest pet peeve?
Slow or close talkers.
Favorite guilty pleasure?
Chocolate and wine.
~We should hang out. Please bring the chocolate and wine. :D
If you could have one super power for a day what would it
be?
Moving objects with my mind.
Just about every line Jerry Maguire, but here are a few. . .
“Jump in my
nightmare, the water's warm!”
“That's more than
a dress. That's an Audrey Hepburn movie.”
“Have you ever
gotten the feeling that you aren't completely embarrassed yet, but you glimpse
tomorrow's embarrassment?”
“We live in a
cynical world. A cynical world. And we work in a business of tough competitors.
I love you. You... complete me.”
-Jerry Maguire
Tell us something no one knows about you?
Umm, I think I’m an open book ;)

About the Author
Renee’s first friends were the imaginary kind and even though
her characters haven’t gone away, thankfully the delusions have. She admits
she’s a wildly hopeless romantic and she blames 80’s movies staring Molly
Ringwald for that. She lives in Southern California with her husband, two sons,
and their sweet dog June. When she’s not at the beach with her boys or working
on the next book, she likes to spend her time reading, going to concerts, and
eating dark chocolate.
