Blurb:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Matilda Markov is ready to put her former nun days behind her and experience all the worldly pleasures she can. (ALL the worldly pleasures.) But when she feels her friend group starting to slip away from her, just like she\u2019s lost so many people who were close to her before, she takes some bold action to try to keep everyone together. If only she can anticipate everything that could possibly go wrong, always, she might be able to keep her life from falling apart.<\/p>\n

What she doesn\u2019t see coming from a million miles away? Kimo Kapono, the surfer-dude\/secret multimillionaire with a heart of gold who treats her like a lady, pays off her student loans, and who can\u2019t seem to keep himself from getting kidnapped (repeatedly). Kimo is the golden retriever to Matilda\u2019s black cat, and he\u2019s determined to win her heart\u2014or get thrown in the back of a van with tinted windows trying.<\/p>\n

Beneath her prickly exterior, Matilda is terrified of letting someone in, and even more terrified of losing someone she loves, again. She\u2019s always known she\u2019s not the kind of person who gets a love story\u2013snarky bitches who\u2019ve locked away their hearts rarely do. Luckily Kimo\u2019s not afraid to get creative. If he can\u2019t find the key, he\u2019ll just use a jackhammer\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2018Nun the Wiser\u2019 is a full-length contemporary romance and can be read as a standalone. It is Book #2 in the Bad Habit Book Club series, Seduction in the City World, Penny Reid Book Universe<\/em>.<\/p>\n

My Review<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I really enjoyed the first book in this series last year, Nun Too Soon<\/a><\/em>, and was excited for the next nun to get her HEA. Matilda was the one, as described above, who was prickly, and harder to get to know in her own way. But we learn so much about her background in this story. And it is so understandable why she is the way she is. <\/p>\n

There were a couple things towards the beginning that she said that totally are the way I feel about things. First was about being the friend who when your other friends find their significant other, it isn\u2019t long before they move on and you are no longer someone that they make sure to spend as much time with. It feels like being ghosted at times. Then there was Matilda\u2019s thoughts on personal space vs. sex, and that also is something I\u2019ve felt like in the past as well. That you can enjoy sex, but still not want people in your personal space other than that.<\/p>\n

While it was frustrating to watch Matilda push Kimo away over and over, it also made sense for her, and it only made him more lovable in how he kept not giving up on her. And then when she had a cranky day after they seemed to be in the groove with their relationship, his reaction and how he took care of her, I loved it so much! His niece and nephew were adorable, as was his watch dog mother. I loved how he kind of won over every person he talked to, he was totally the golden retriever hero. <\/p>\n

Now, I am unsure of how to picture him. Because it makes him look very hunky on the cover, but just other things about how he was described made me think of a BIG man, like Jason Momoa, but also not as buff? But I still fell in love with him and his easygoing ways and personality. <\/p>\n

The epilogue was from our third nun\u2019s POV and I\u2019m so eager for her book and to learn all about the family she is dealing with. I wonder if the ex-priest who is now a part of their group will be a bigger part of her story, or if we will get a story for him afterwards?<\/p>\n
