Get Some Love by Nina Foxx

Rating:  PENS!!!!

Surprised!
 

In Get Some Love, Foxx starts right off grabbing my attention by tugging on my heartstrings. Angelica is racing home, after she learns of her grandather's  unexpected death. She is not yet 21 years old, and was raised by her grandfather, Ben Chappee III, whom she lovingly calls "Pop-Pop." Angelica soon finds there’s quite a bit she didn’t know about her grandfather; one being he was a millionaire.

The next main character and subplot deal with Juan Delgado, a "good Hispanic boy." Juan is in love with music and desires to do anything except what his father expects of him . . . To take over the family dry-cleaning business. Being the good boy that he is, he tries his best to please his father, while trying to find a way to break the news to him. Juan has a cousin named James who loves the family business. James also feels as if Pops, (Big Delgado) Juan’s father is his own and would want nothing more than to run the business. Juan knows this and wish that could be the easy answer, but it’s not. Therefore, James spends his time working hard in at the dry cleaner (against his mother’s wishes) and trying to keep Juan focused on the business at hand. They have a big job to do in Baton Rouge and neither want to let Pops down.

Now we have two main characters, both with a conflict of interests (Angelica is unsure about what to do with Pop-Pop’s business . . . she dreams of "Dance") . . . will their paths cross? I’m thinking . . . You BET! Angelica’s path also crosses with others as well. Money has a way of attracting people, and NOT necessarily people with her best interest in mind. Someone just may be willing to kill to get their hands on Angelica’s money. Surprised? I was. Get Some Love was an interesting and easy read. I would definitely recommend this book. It’s not your typical romance.
