He thought he had it all, until he met her. They say you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone, but for notorious womanizer Arlo Jones, it's a case of not knowing what you want 'til it's standing in front of you. The moment he meets London, he realizes she's the piece of the puzzle he never knew was missing, but can't live without. He does everything he can to get her, but just as he thinks she's finally ready to give in to her feelings, he's reminded how empty his life was without her in it. She thought she had a plan, until she met him. They say the best-laid plans often go awry, and for aspiring photographer London Llwellyn, that's definitely the case when she falls for Arlo. That was never part of her plan. She tries her best to avoid being pulled into his vortex, but he manages to turn her head upside down and her heart inside out. Just as she thinks she's ready to commit to forever, she's reminded of the reasons she resisted him for so long. He's pulling her closer. How long can she keep pushing him away?
⭐️ 4.5 "Hummingbird" Stars ⭐️
Pushing Arlo was such an incredible read. I was so excited to finally dive into the continuation of London and Arlo’s stormy romance. The fact this story is written in Arlo’s point of view was even more tempting.
"If this is the end of the line for us, I want to hold you in my arms one more time."
I love this sexy cocky rocker! The way he expresses himself and his unapologetic ways are just some of the reasons that makes him so attractive! In this second novel, he goes to great length to show London he’s all in. He’s so gone for her it’s so tangible and sweet to witness. Under his rockstar persona he shows a sensitive side that is so endearing.
Drama is always so near though, but Arlo tries his best to protect London from it. There’s a few shocking revelations that put dents in their relationship and makes London questions their love! They have the perfect sizzling chemistry on a physical level, but trusting Arlo is one of the biggest challenge London faces. Can this reformed player keep her heart safe and offer her the future she dreamed of?
As much as I enjoyed this book, some moments were so enraging. London constantly pushing Arlo away, doubting him had me frustrated. You clearly see he’s a changed man from loving her, but her trust in him is still tenuous. I would have like some chapters told in her point of view to better understand her actions and reactions.
"Hummingbird, if I lose you, I lose me."
Like it was the case with the previous novels, Pushing Arlo is packed with funny banters, sensual moments and lot of feels. This is another remarkable novel M.V. Ellis penned. I hope to read future books about the other members of the band Heartless Few, more specifically Luke, Arlo’s twin!
