Mr. Garcia (Mr. Series)

I cannot believe that we are finally getting Sebastian’s story!! I feel like I’ve been waiting forever for it. In the previous books, I always got the impression that Sebastian was sweeter, but he was the polar opposite of sweet in this book. I still loved him though-as damaged and cold as he was. I also absolutely adored April. She was beautiful, funny and fierce. She was vulnerable but still had amazing confidence. I loved how she wasn’t afraid to put herself “out there” and take risks. But she also stood up for herself and didn’t take any of Sebastian’s crap.

T.L. Swan has a true gift for writing chemistry between her characters. From the minute these two laid eyes on each other, you knew they were meant to be together. Every interaction was crackling with tension. (The rest of this review will contain spoilers)......

These two go through such a roller coaster especially in the beginning of their relationship. As much as Sebastian wants April, there were so many times where he’s so cold to her and and constantly giving her mixed signals. So many times my heart broke for her and I wanted to cry for her but she handled things so well in my opinion. There’s a horrid misunderstanding and of course Sebastian handles it in the worst way possible and destroys their relationship just when things were truly good between them. It was gut wrenching. April is so devastated and heartbroken that she leaves town and starts over somewhere else.

Fast forward 6 years. Sebastian has entered politics and April has become a lawyer. They run into each other unexpectedly. They both hate each other but it’s obvious that they also never got over each other. April ends up having to work for him. Of course Sebastian can’t stay away from her but she wants nothing to do with him because he shattered her before and threw her away. Sebastian realizes that he was wrong all those years ago. He pursues her relentlessly. After putting up quite a fight, April gives in because she’s never felt for anyone what she feels for him.

Their relationship is very up and down again because Sebastian has deep seeded issues. Every time they get close, he pushes her away and I really wanted to kill him sometimes. Even when he would push her away, he could never stay away. April stood up for herself and handled him so well, but she also understood him like no other. Somehow, she always knew what he needed —even though at times Sebastian seemed like a truly toxic person.

These two still go through a lot. There’s a lot of happiness but Sebastian’s devious ex-wife causes a lot of drama. I will say— I LOVED the way April handled everything. My gosh she was brilliant. Sebastian should thank his lucky stars that he had her.

Loved the ending. Loved getting a glimpse and some of her other characters (Jameson and Tristen)lol. I especially loved the epilogue. It was an awesome way to close out this series!
