Review / Release Blitz: Sour (Taste of Love #4) by Siân Upton


Release Date: August 10

Six years.

It had been six years since Aimi ran into Luca, her unlikely—and much older—best friend on the streets of Tokyo with his…fiancé. Only sixteen at the time, but a world of experience on her shoulders, she knew he was avoiding her even though they’d been close for so many years. Exiting herself from the uncomfortable run-in, and her friendship, Aimi moved on. Sort of.

All grown up, living the life of her dreams translating for the United Nations, she’s spending the next few months in New York City. Aimi was now living and working in the city that never sleeps, where she can work hard, and play even harder.

Luca Pemberton found himself in quite a rut after extricating himself from an arranged marriage back in Tokyo. What ended up being more of a relief than a hardship brought him back to New York City, where not only did he co-own the hottest new nightclub in town, but also a secret passion project he’d always dreamed of.

When Luca sees Aimi on his dance floor, every repressed emotion he’d buried bubbles to the surface in a way he can barely contain. His desire for her overwhelms his ability to control…everything. Watching her coy confidence, he begins to crumble as she shows him exactly how much she’s grown into her assets.

The past lurks between them, peppering them with insecurity and doubt as they rekindle their friendship, and what is clearly much more between them. Aimi’s past trauma and Luca’s guilt over his own indiscretions create a tumultuous ride for each as they navigate their way to a future which is certain to keep them both on their toes.

MY REVIEW

Aimi isn't the same girl Luca used to know back in the day. Now she's an adult, a fierce, sassy, independent and beautiful woman who is determined to find out why Luca ghosted her all those years ago. That reason he left is no longer valid, so now Luca has the choice to let her in and the possibility of happiness and love, or to continue to shut everyone out.


Luca has never let himself entertain the possibility of being with Aimi. Back when they were best friends, she was far too young, and he had certain responsibilities, so he left her without a word, walked out of her life without telling her why. But now she waltzes into his club and shows how much she's grown up. He's finding it impossible to resist her even though he's always told himself she's off-limits. Can he really let her in? Let himself finally be happy for once?


Aimi is amazing! She's by far my favorite part of Sour, with her fierce independence, her big heart, and her sassy mouth. She put Luca through the gauntlet, but he deserved that and more considering how he had broken her heart before. I love their story, even the back and forth and the angst, and am definitely waiting anxiously for more of this world.

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
