The GEG ladies are back and this time, it’s time for CiCi O’Brien to shine and get her story heard. So if you are looking for a shy, timid heroine, I am sorry to disappoint you because CiCi is none of those things. She is loud, unfiltered, and loves her dirty talks. She has no problems telling you how things are and serving your balls in a platter if you cross with her. This loud and sassy GEG lady owns her sexuality and has no problem letting her nosy postal lady, yeah she ordered a purple vibrator and plans to use it. That CiCi in a nutshell. She doesn’t get embarrassed so you gotta love a fierce and independent woman.
But behind this fierce and independent persona lies a woman who had her heart broken from her first love. A trust that was completely shattered and had deeply affected her even though many years had passed by. The walls surrounding CiCi is locked up so tight and it took one man who didn’t take NO for an answer to finally knock down her walls. It also helped this man did many things to CiCi that were quite naughty and slowly the walls started crumbling. No matter how much CiCi tried to push Kyle Cooper away, he didn’t give up on her. He knew CiCi loved him and he loved her. He wanted her to open up to him freely and slowly she did.
After so many sexy, naughty, and combustible sex scenes, In the Mix really shined when CiCi finally opened up to her past and what a past it was. You know the saying there is always two sides of a story, then be prepared to shed some tears in the last 15% of the book. What started as as a humorous and sexy storyline, slowly transformed to the heart of the matter of the storyline and I must say that it was my favorite part of the book. I love the humor, banter, and naughty scenes but CiCi’s past and ex-lover’s relationship really won me over with this book hence bumping my rating of a 4 to 4.5 stars. And I didn’t expect to find myself shedding tears, but omg I got a little emotional of CiCi’s past. I think we can truly heal once you learn to let go and forgive and what a total awakening it was for CiCi. And I loved that through it all, Kyle never wavered and left her side. The story of Kyle and CiCi was all about the mix. Toss in the good, bad, past, and love, and you got yourself a recipe called LIFE. So if you are looking for a laugh out loud read with lots of sarcasms, banter, sexiness, family, friendship, and love then you must read IN THE MIX by Jacquelyn Ayres!!!

Cici has been hurt in the past and has put up this wall where no one can break down. At least that what she thought. The past of hers is not something she'd like to discuss to a single soul. She is still coping with the tragedy that happened back when she was in college. There were times though that I just wanted to cover her mouth and tell her to just relax and take a breather. And to just give Kyle a chance.
A for Kyle, he is too good to be with Cici. His only mission is to break down the wall around Cici. He knows it won't be easy, but he is in it to win her heart. The only problem is that, how long can she string him along before he reaches his limit? We'll he fight until he wins her heart? The intensity between Cici and Kyle was off the wall. The angst and chemistry were smoking hot that the entire read had me fanning myself.
The crazy love, intense, denial, betrayal, sexual tension and the sex scenes was off the chart. The story between one who is willing to love and one who denies the pull, repeatedly, will have you reading this more than once. It's a page turner that will have your device melting from it being so smoking HOT. You won't want to miss this comedy romance.
