REVIEW: Acting on Impulse by Mia Sosa

Acting on Impulse by Mia Sosa: Carter is a Hollywood star known for his good looks, great body, and comedies. He desperately wants to get out of the rom-com typecast, so he’s been looking for and taking more serious roles. After being betrayed by yet one more person to make money off of him, he takes a much needed break to the sun and sand of Aruba. He is lucky to come from a close-knit family and has a PA and agent who aren’t afraid to give him a hard time.

Tori is a smart, sassy, independent, and kickass physical trainer. She’s passionate about helping people of all shapes and sizes live a healthier life, including her Puerto Rican family where food is an integral part of their culture. Tori has no need for the limelight and hated that aspect of dating a councilman who sought out the spotlight every chance he could. After their very public break-up, she hightails it to Aruba for some much needed time away from attention.

Carter is immediately entranced by the sexy and feisty Tori when he sees her on their plane. It’s lust at first sight, but he tries too hard to get her attention for all the right reasons. When they end up at the same hotel, he sees it as a chance to redeem himself.

“Did you know the phrase ‘The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog’ uses every letter in the English language?”
He narrows his eyes. “What are you doing?”
Without an ounce of embarrassment, I say, “Changing the subject.”
“In that case, did you know only female mosquitoes sting humans?”

They do begin to hit it off and both feel the attraction after spending more time together until she figures out exactly who he is. Tori definitely challenges him and she seems to appreciate the man instead of the famous actor, which is why he wants her to train him. Working together every day to get Carter in shape tests both of them and her vow to remain strictly professional. Carter is charming, thoughtful, and persistent when it comes to Tori.

Carter pants by my side. “Never again. I’m never running with you again.”
“Hey, at least I got you to run,” I say with a smile.
He narrows his eyes. “I’m not amused.”
I pat him on the shoulder. “Let’s walk the rest of the way to the lighthouse. I think this run was doomed from the start.”

Acting on Impulse is an entertaining slow burn romance. Mia Sosa provided conflict, humor, heat, and banter while building the anticipation. Ms. Sosa created an engaging cast of characters in friends, family, and Carter’s team. Fans of A.M. Madden and T.J. Kline will enjoy Acting on Impulse.

After a very public breakup with a media-hungry politician, fitness trainer Tori Alvarez escapes to Aruba for rest, relaxation, and copious amounts of sex on the beach—the cocktail, that is. She vows to keep her vacation a man-free zone but when a cute guy is seated next to her on the plane, Tori can’t resist a little harmless flirting.

Hollywood heartthrob Carter Stone underwent a dramatic physical transformation for his latest role and it’s clear his stunning seat mate doesn’t recognize the man beneath the shaggy beard and extra lean frame. Now Carter needs help rebuilding his buff physique and Tori is perfect for the job. It doesn’t hurt that she makes his pulse pound in more ways than one.

Sparks are flying, until a pesky paparazzo reveals Carter’s identity. Tori is hurt and pissed. She wants nothing to do with another man in the limelight, but she’s still got to whip him into shape. Can Carter convince Tori he’s worth the threat to her privacy that comes with dating a famous actor, or will Tori chisel him down to nothing before he even gets the chance?
