Book Review
Title: Mr. Nice by B. L. Wilde (The Human Mating Site Book 8)
Genre: Novella, Romance, Erotica
Rating: 4.25 Stars
Since I couldn’t wait to get into this one, I started it as soon as it arrived in my inbox. The series seems to be focusing in on specific characters now while maintaining the lifestyle we have come to expect from Bella. Bella still reeling from the revelations of the previous book is trying to make sense of everything with Jensen, Liam and Nathan, but she still believes that she just wants a nice, uncomplicated guy so turns to the dating site once more.
Through the site she connects with Jase, a nice guys, but it becomes clear to her after a few dates that there is no chemistry between them and she realises that isn’t what she wants. Instead of leading him on she lets him down gently and he graciously accepts the change in situation. The main draw for me in this book was the ever complicated dynamic between Bella and her men. Nathan is the easiest one to sum up so I’ll start with him. Ever since she learnt that Ava tried to set her up with Nathan, she has been seeing him as a potential partner despite him currently having a girlfriend and there is clear chemistry there. She also takes up his offer of one on one self-defence classes but she can’t shake her desire for him.
With Liam and Jensen, things are more complicated. Liam claims he wants a relationship with Bella, but she doesn’t believe he is capable of it because of his playboy past but I have a feeling that he might surprise her. Learning that she is still seeing Jensen, he tells her that he is willing to wait until she is done with him and not to rule him out yet. His behaviour is confusing Bella, since their initial arrangement was purely sexual with no emotions and when Bella began to fall for him they opted for some distance but it is him trying to close the gap now.
Jensen is probably the most complicated since in the last book Bella told him there was no way she could be the woman he is looking for but in this one she arranges a booty call. In doing so, she alludes to the idea that she might be willing to experiment with the kink lifestyle giving Jensen hope when she knows that isn’t what she wants as a lifestyle but doesn’t mind it as a fantasy. She knows she needs to deal with that before things get even more complicated but she is enjoying the things she tries with Jensen which adds another complication to the mix.
Despite this Bella seems set on letting Jensen go after the christening, but I don’t think she will get back with Liam yet, considering the next book is most likely going to focus on Nathan and he is almost 100% the type of guy Bella could fall for. Overall, I adored this entry and I can’t wait to see how everything wraps up in the last 5 novellas.
