About the Book

The odds of Syx Rouge, aspiring fashion illustrator and current assistant to world-renowned vocalist, Amiyah Mallard, indulging in an unsolicited, overly pleasurable, steamy night with a man like Trough were slim to none. However, a slight turn of events redirected the odds in her favor.

Ultra-sexy and centric Syx was at her wits end. Her New Year's celebration had been strategically planned since her older sister, Sevyn, faced her fears and relocated to the Big City. In New York surrounded by laughter, love, music, drinks and the thrill of the people is where Syx desperately wanted to be. Yet, she found herself missing the very last flight bound for the Big City and stranded in Atlanta, GA. A hint of fate scrambled her way as she returned home after discovering her plans were shot. Amiyah Mallard, with her own agenda in mind, forces her husband to give Syx a lift, compliments of his private plane. A slew of unexpected, yet fortunate, occurrences leaves Syx dazed and confused after waking up on New Year's Day in unknown territory, on a dangerously comforting mattress, tangled in Italian sheets with her beloved boss's life partner. Trough Mallard.

Review

I struggled with the writing in Syx and the City. I found myself rereading the first few paragraphs to ensure that I understood what was happening. The sentence structure felt off, and it made it difficult to connect with the story and the main characters. Also, the romance never felt authentic to me. There were too many coincidences, and it made it super hard to fully invest in them and their chemistry.

In the context of a three-book series, I think this is an interesting concept here. It does lay the groundwork for how the other books would play out. And I think that if I read them back-to-back, I would enjoy them, and maybe have gotten used to the writing style.

Final Thoughts

Syx and the City wasn’t for me. There is something interesting here, and maybe one day I could revisit it with a fresh set of eyes and enjoy it a lot more.
