He was gorgeous, older and guarded.
I knew he was trouble from the moment we locked eyes.

We met at work, on my first day as a barista.
He smiled, I melted …. then he tasted my coffee and threw it away.

Again, the next day, and the next.
He hated the coffee, yet still came back.
I knew his game.

He called my coffee death in a cup.
I called him god’s gift to women.
I wasn’t lying.

Then we ran into each other outside of the coffee house, and that’s when things got interesting.

No longer suave and sweet with impeccable manners.
Mr Garcia had a darker side, his appetite, thick and heavy.
He set me on fire.

Unable to help it, we fell hopelessly in love.
The highest of highs.

But his demons are dark, as are mine.

I’m not sure if we can make it and I know that I have two choices.
Walk away now to save myself.
Or try and hold on and let love be the light.

I choose option two.

The disclaimer says it all

Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2021

Verified Purchase

The Disclaimer won me over before the book even began. Sebastian is not a sweet guy... actually that’s a lie. He actually is! He is a hot politician who gave money to a homeless man. He may be a little broken but aren’t we all! April is strong, beautiful and intelligent. Almost the perfect couple! Make sure you eat and sleep before you start reading as you will not want to put this book down.

A romance with a lot of over the top coincidences

Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2021

Verified Purchase

I was undecided on whether to rate this two or three stars because even though I've enjoyed a book or two by this author in the past, I found the plot to this book a bit of a hot mess and started nicknaming the story line 'Coincidence Central' in my head. I ended up settling on three stars because even though there were quite a few obvious typos and the like, the writing kept me entertained while I was rolling my eyes so far back in my head that I had 180 degree vision. Just a heads up - one of the factors that lessened my enjoyment of this book was how elements of the plot played out, with a fair bit of cheese factor thrown in one chunk after the other. As a result, spoilers will be below along with a possibly tedious run down of the main events of the first quarter of the book. So in other words, if you're one of those equally tedious readers that come to the reviews just to say 'I HaTe it WhEn a ReViEw SaYs EveRyThinG ThAt HapPenZzz', jog on - you've been warned. And why read reviews? And I'm not having a go at the author before super fans put their cape on; just expressing why I had a few problems with the story due to my personal preferences.

* Small spoilers for the first bit of the book below *

Okay, so the book is written in first person with chapters from both Sebastian and April's point of view. The former's chapters are written entirely in bold font so if this is going to make you twitch, here's your heads up. April works at a cafe that Sebastian drops in on one morning (quick note - she's 25 and he's mid to late 30s I think). As one of the staff members has left her in the lurch, she's left making the coffee, something she has no idea of how to do. She sees him bin her coffee, but then he returns the next day and then the one after that, throwing out her coffee outside the shop each day. Amongst this happening, the cheese factor is ramped up to maximum levels as she asks him if he's going to get a coffee for his girlfriend or maybe his wife. Probably just easier to hit him with a club and drag him to the back of the shop by his hair if you're going to be that awkward and obvious, but you do you, boo. She takes great pleasure then in making the worst coffee she can for him each morning. Look, my approach to get the attention of a guy might be a bit backwards, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to show him I'm incompetent and think it's cute, not to mention waste his money. I can hear my grandma cursing 'She wouldn't do that if she'd lived through the Depression!'

On top of this, April has left a marriage in the States that left her broken-hearted after catching her now ex playing hide the salami with a colleague in their bed. She gets a scholarship to study law in London but is short of funds as she leaves with only the clothes on her back and he won't move out of the house for her to sell it and get money. She desperately wants to move out of the college dorms as the neighbouring room houses a girl who apparently is trying to set some kind of record for noise and nooky. Why didn't April complain? Well she did, but this neighbour is sleeping not only with the floor supervisor, but all four or so security guards. Huh. Seems plausible, almost as much as an apparently intelligent woman taking no other action to rectify the situation. Luckily, April is called in five or so weeks early for an interview with Club Exotic, a highly exclusive gentlemen's club where she's hoping to score a bartending gig.

This is where the series of ridiculous events continues. She's called in early for the interview. During said interview, the manager says she thinks she has another role for April and informs her that some members pay a premium to go to the Escape Lounge. What's that I hear you ask? Well every night at the lounge, there's a fashion parade with twenty-four of the club's most beautiful women. Every night, the same number of men reserve a spot to watch the parade and at the end, there's a private cocktail party. Then each of the girls pick a partner that they'll spend the night with. There's a five star hotel above the club that Escape own a floor on, but... wait for it... they don't have to sleep with the men. So to clarify, these men pay an exorbitant amount in yearly membership, get a private audience with girls but they don't get to choose one, the girl chooses them (but they can bid) and then on top of that, they might not even get intimate relations? I mean, creative license is one thing but this is borderline hilarious. Oh, and let's not forget, all of the twenty-four men are either gorgeous or have the 'it' factor. Well, naturally LOLOLOL and how lucky for all the women. Oh my goodness. And she's paid 5000 pound a night...to not do anything if that's her choice. Riiiiiiiight. But most of them do. Riiiiiiight again. I was laughing out loud by this point, by the way. Add to that, April's silly inner monologue and questions that made her sound like she'd taken a hit to the head. No, no, no.

Oh, but the fantasy continues. The girls get any laser and beauty treatments they want for free as well as professional hair and make up done. April decides she'll do four shifts and then quit. On her first night, she's presented to the men as the newbie where 'a whisper of awe falls over the room...' A whisper of awe fell over my lounge room, too, as I asked myself if this could get more ridiculous. Spoiler alert: it does. She looks up and sees Mr Garcia who's now a massive cranky pants because the first girl he's been really into since his horrid ex-wife cheated on him and scarred him for life is a call girl. Hold up - I thought they didn't have to sleep with the men? Hmmm, the somewhat dubious plot thickens. Well, since she's working as a word starting with 'w' and rhymes with 'core' (the choice of word in the book - definitely not mine), Sebastian Garcia certainly treats her like one and calls her one - several times throughout the book, actually. And while 'Get down on your knees and suck my you-know-what, you dirty 'w' word will certainly have some readers one-clicking (and to be fair, it was pretty hot in parts), it sounded strange for him to go from whoa to go with this language and if April had half a brain, it would be a massive red flag. Like, size of the Taj Mahal big. To be honest, it just sounded pretty gross. April then referring to herself as a dirty 'w' was also a bit of a step too far. Sorry to get on my soap box because I know it's fiction but surely we've moved on from women from all walks of life working in the sex industry as being referred to with derogatory terms? No? Righto. To quote April, 'I let poverty take my morals'. Sorry, Aps, but you sound like a dead set holier than thou snob. And this is all because she did two shifts at Escape where she slept with the exact same guy. Start praying to jeebus, girlfriend, you're clearly the baddest of the bad. Just an amusing aside, my note beside the quote above was 'Jesus eff'. Yep, funny again.

Okay, next plot reveal before I back off from the play by play. After Garcia hate bangs her a bit they fall into a happier place with each other. That is until she goes to a mansion with one of her close friends from university. They turn up at the house, said guy who's hardly been in the book kisses her and tells her he loves her completely out of the blue as the door opens. Guess who's there? I wonder??? Garcia, who hears his son (not actually his kid, but for some weird reason that made it to the final draft is actually his sister's kid who he stepped in for to help so calls him dad) say this and kiss her. He goes into a rage, calls her nasty names again and throws her out of the house as he thinks she's also been seeing his son so she must really be some kind of horrid, manipulative call girl. The son tells a friend what happened and they tell everyone she's an escort, embarrassing her and ruining her reputation. She transfers to another university and the book fast forwards six years to where she's working in the best ever law firm in the country and dating a pro soccer player who she likes as a friend but no more than that even though he's loaded and the bees knees. Le sigh.

While I'm bringing up the jump in time, there's also very little indication in the book to show section breaks which really affected the fluency of the story because the reader has to stop and figure out where the writing has just gone. So, in the next installment of April's crazy-lucky coincidences, she's given a coveted role in shadowing a new partner the firm's brought on who just happens to be the best lawyer for all the famous people. So guess who one of her clients is? The charming Mr Garcia, who we find out can only get aroused by call girls and rough nooky, is now deputy Prime Minister. Don't bother going back - you read that correctly.

So, this is all up to the 25% mark so while I've spilled my lollies on what seems like big plot reveals, this acid trip happened one thing after another in just the first section. The rest of the book is basically April desperately wanting him and then determining she wants nothing else to do with him with the occasional burst of jealousy and mini tantrums from her because she'd sever things somewhat and then get cranky and affronted that he didn't chase her or fall at her feet. I kid you not, this was rinsed, washed and repeated. She did grow a bit more a backbone after she moved but honestly, with her constant need to love the handsome, damaged guy that kind of got lost. There's a couple of nefarious plots to bring April and/or Sebastian down, lots of arguments and him being a bit of a jerk while she pined over him. A couple of crazy coincidences continue to happen but after the semi-rant above, I'm tired now and will leave whoever dives into the book with the pleasure of discovering them and possibly rolling their eyes themselves. One thing I will mention is that for one single scene, he had a room with nooky toys and whatnot. This came out of the blue and then just disappeared. Random and cliché.

On top of some of the formatting and grammatical errors, I'll also point out that several phrases and plot points were repeated. There were tonnes of fake smiles, rolled lips, eyes locking on one another and lip biting. With that and the plot basically repeating itself, I got a lot of deja vu. Sebastian would also do the arrogant, mean guy thing and ignore her or treat her bad and then they'd reconcile until his or her next tanty. Queue my note at only 52%: Groundhog Day. Lots of I don't want him near me but he should be chasing me. Him being a sex maniac was pretty repetitive, too (I'm not saying this is necessarily a bad thing lol). The epilogue was a nice touch and the book was a decent length.

While the direction the plot took was sometimes cheesy, ridiculous and jammed to the hilt with unrealistic coincidences for me, the dirty talk was on point and the smexy times were pretty hot. Sebastian was definitely dominant, jealous and possessive. I found both of the main characters had their faults so while I didn't hate the book, it was predictable and didn't leave me raving like a lot of other readers seem to be. I'm going to guess quite a few of these also loved Fifty Shades. Just so I'm clear, that's not a compliment. To finish on a positive note, I love the cover :)

Hopelessly seeking Happily Ever Afters

Sebastian & April

Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2021

Dual POV. Superior cover. Book 3 in the Mr Series. The books are all standalones but I would strongly encourage everyone to read this author's entire body of work in publication order as her characters appear in each other's stories. (She's published 17 books to date.) This is an absolutely excellent "5 bright stars" kind of story based on the character development alone but quickly lost a star because there were almost 80 errors at the time of my review (even the book summary has an error; it wasn't her first day on the job). Only one of the typos in the book took away from the story because it effected characters from the author's previous books. Trigger warnings: lots of cheating; prostitution; a high end brothel; drug abuse; suicide; an attempted suicide; @n@l/BDSM/rough intercourse; a drink "spiked" for nefarious gain; blackmail; and a paternity lie.

This book does seemingly take inspiration from most of this author's previous books (most of her men have a wave in their hair, big thick lips & tongues, are tall, are HUNG, grew up in affluent families, attended boarding schools together, practice identical techniques, frequently use the same phrases, travel internationally, have high paying/powerful careers, enjoy high end call girls & gentleman's club while judging the call girls they visit, etc) and tweaked storylines/scenes/phrases from other authors work (JEM This Man Series and ELJ Fifty Shades series stuck out to me). While this erotic romance's storyline isn't wholly original (which, realistically, is getting harder and harder) it is very unique in that the heroine is truly the heroine in her own life and definitely a strong female role model. She earned a scholarship and pursued her own career goals after she left a devastating relationship behind with no financial safety net. She does not need a man and for over 6 years she makes it clear that she doesn't want or require a committed monogamous relationship. Ultimately it is her foresight and gut instinct that saves the hero. Both characters are flawed and beautifully broken ***BUT*** April's honesty and inner strength is something every person should strive to emulate. JP

Most inconsistent character developments I’ve ever read. The storyline is a kitchen sink, different stories that author thought of jumps from one to another. Mess of a read with some hot scenes thrown in even if they don’t make sense in the story.

Mr Garcia is hot, hot, hot. If you enjoyed Mr Masters and Mr Spencer, you are going to love Mr Garcia. He is such a great mix of domineering and controlling with a side of sweet and loving. He certainly meets his match in April. She gives as good as she gets. I couldn’t put this book down. The Mr series is my number one series ever. If you’re a fan of TL Swan like I am, you will love the little cameos that pop up throughout the book.

Everyone needs to read Mr Garcia

This was hot hot hot!! I was highly anticipating this book! TL Swan is one of a handful of authors whose entire back catalogue I’m up to date with, and having thoroughly enjoyed Mr Masters and Mr Spencer, I was counting the days to get Mr Garcia. It was released in the UK just before midnight so I downloaded it at once and read to 20% before I fell asleep! The next day I could not put it down till I was through! It was outstanding! The book gave me whiplash in the best possible way and I really enjoyed every second and was just gutted when it ended!
Seb is a hot, dominant, but damaged man (in fact they are both a little damaged!) but you can’t help but fall for him despite some of the ways he acts. You get to catch up with Masters and Spencer in this too, and meet new friends who intrigue you too! I really don’t want to say too much about this to risk spoilers - but I feel like if you read this you won’t be disappointed at all!

This was the easiest 5 stars I’ve given in a while…

No spoilers ahead! This is one you have to read for yourselves✨

Now if you have followed me for a while, you’ll know that Mr Spencer is one of my ALL TIME favourite books - like seriously, I reread it monthly. So when Seb’s book was announced, I was over the moon. And it helps that she’s one of my fave authors😅🤷🏼‍♀️

This book was everything I needed and more. The sex was off the charts, like smoking hot - my jaw dropped multiple times at the words I was reading, but in the absolute best way. Alexa, play “sexual healing”😅

I already liked Sebastian, and this book made me love him and all of his quirks and drama. He’s a man with a past and a whole lot of baggage…

Enter April Bennet💃🏼 April is strong willed, feisty and doesn’t take any flack. She’s the perfect partner for Seb - but their journey is a dramatic, complicated and sometimes torturous one.

The little snippets of Spencer and Charlotte made me grin like a Cheshire Cat, seeing the gang together just made me giddy. And the scenes in the Maldives and sangria - I couldn’t stop laughing to see the pages😅

This book is the perfect addition to one of my already favourite series, and as usual TL Swan gives us the goods. Amazing writing, relatable characters and captivating storyline.

You’ve got drama, family politics, bickering, 🔥🔥🔥, politicians, sex, Bentley the lab, friendship, intrigue, yacht shenanigans and did I mention 🔥?

…now if you don’t mind me, I’m going to go and reread Mr Spencer because it’s been too long.

You don’t want to miss this book, but make sure you read Mr Masters and Mr Spencer first - because those two boys are required reading mainly because they’re too good to miss.

After waiting so patiently I finally devoured Mr Garcia. Another fab book by this author as she took us on a rollercoaster of a love story.
I love the fact that the two main characters had met years before and had a relationship of sorts.
Knowing that they both had a previous marriage, which had scarred them both in their own way, was a great back story to how they dealt with their relationship.
I love the fact that like all her other books, there are appearances from characters from other books, especially Masters and Spencer and their partners.
As with this author’s books, I expected that their love would hit some rocky patches and I wasn’t disappointed.
Loved it!

TL Swan is without doubt my favourite author. I waited a long time for this book to be released and I was not disappointed in any way. It is best if you have read Mr. Masters and then Mr. Spencer first just to get an insight into their characters. There are no cliffhangers at all. Mr Garcia is one hot man and April is a very strong heroine who I would always want batting in my corner. I will re-read all of Tees books because she is just so good.

TL Swan has done it again. Another fantastic book.
Not only are you encapsulated from the first chapter but I honestly think I have never laughed so much at the one liners. You won’t be disappointed, you can always guarantee the romance, tears and angst. There are a few surprises that I wasn’t expecting although cameos from previous books was an excellent addition.
Thanks TL Swan for another blockbuster it was definitely worth the wait.
