This nail wrap set was sent to me as a freebie by Lily and Fox. Independence Day is coming up, so I went patriotic with the nails.
This is what they looked like before I put them on:
I’m on a Harley Wylde kick, so here’s my review of her MC Romance novel Tank.
Tank starts off with a classic trope: Damsel in Distress. Emelda’s father has arranged her marriage to Ernesto, back in Spain. Both men are human traffickers, drug lords, and exceptionally violent men. Lupita, Emmie’s sister and former federal agent, has gone to jail for the Dixie Reapers MC in order to ensure that they will protect Emmie because they owe her. After some difficulty, Tank and Emmie connect, in more ways than one. Before they know it, they are married and ready to stand against the Ebil interlopers.
I enjoyed this book. The audiobook is about four hours and twenty minutes long (yes, get the 4:20 jokes out of your system. I’ll wait.) and because I don’t often drive more than an hour in any direction, it’s just the right length for me. I enjoy the Dixie Reapers series, mainly because the characters are fun and I like the theme of Found Family. The Reapers enfold Emmie right into the group and because of their protective natures, would have helped her even if Lupita hadn’t taken the fall for them. They are overall a bunch of pretty cool cats. A good Contemporary Romance has characters that seem so real, and this book has that in spades. Emmie is very young and this is evident in her lack of self confidence; however, she is not thoughtless or selfish, and is certainly not bratty. I liked her. And I see where she would grow up to be a strong, confident woman. If she weren’t fictional, of course. Tank is a top-notch Book Boyfriend, strong, capable, and crazy about Emmie with the Instalove. (In case you haven’t noticed, I love the Instalove.) He’s a little less realistic than Emmie because the man never gets irritated with her or gets a zit, but Romance heroes are about fantasy fulfillment, so there you go.
The narration is terrific. I heart Umi Markkanen. She is one of my all time favorite voice actors, right up there with Conor Crais and Samantha Brentmoor. (Not quite up to Troy Duran, but nobody is, Blessed Be His Name). Her style is a little quirky but it isn’t overly cultured or snooty. She talks like real people talk, only better.
To be honest, I never would have picked this particular nail design, although my nails turned out fine. These wraps are not a design I’d ever pay for, but for free I’m happy enough.
I enjoyed this audiobook and plan to listen to more by Harley Wylde and Umi Markkanen. I received a review copy of this audiobook for free, courtesy of StoryOrigin and this author. This is my honest, voluntary opinion and these are my honest-to-goodness real nails. I am not compensated in any way for my reviews.
