The Long Game (American Gypsy #1) by J.L.Fynn

The Long Game by J.L. Fynn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was a little unsure about this book at first when I saw it was about gypsies. And though I know you're not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but when the cover model looks as if he has a mullet (yes, "business in the front and party in the back" mullet!). How could you not judge...

Well...I stand corrected! How wrong I was!! I immediately feel in love with Shay (mullet or not) and Jimmy Boy. I enjoyed how fast paced it was - I was hooked in the first chapter!

I wish there was a little more focus and development on Spencer and Shay's relationship to give it more depth since they were proclaiming their love to each other. (view spoiler)[And a little more connection or hints between Maggie and Tommy, especially since it comes to play later in the series. (hide spoiler)]

In the wedding scene, I couldn't help but imagine "My big fat gypsy wedding" :)

Published Date: January 7th, 2014

Synposis
Cora Lewis is a whole lot of fun, and she knows how to keep her tattooed bad boy friends in line. But all that flash and sass hide the fact that she’s never gotten over the way her first love broke her heart. Now she has a plan to make sure that never happens again: She’s only going to fall in love with someone perfect.

Rome Archer is as far from perfect as a man can be. He’s stubborn and rigid, he’s bossy and has come back from his final tour of duty fundamentally broken. Rome’s used to filling a role: big brother, doting son, super soldier; and now none of these fit anymore. Now he’s just a man trying to figure out what to do with the rest of his life while keeping the demons of war and loss at bay. He would have been glad to suffer it alone, until Cora comes sweeping into his life and becomes the only color on his bleak horizon. Perfect isn’t in the cards for these two, but imperfect might just last forever . . .

Author Information

I'm supposed to share interesting details about myself so that my readers get to know me so here we go in no particular order: I'm an natural redhead even though I haven't seen my real hair color in years, I'm a big fan of tattoos and have a half sleeve on either arm and various other pieces all over the place, I've been in the bar industry since I was in college and it has always offered interesting insight into how men and women interact with each other, I have 3 dogs that are all crazy, I live in Colorado and love the snow, I love music and in all reality wish I could be a rock star not a writer or a bartender but I have zero talent so there is that. I love to write, love to read and all I'm interested in is a good story with interesting characters that make the reader feel something.
