Sew Haute was such a different read for me and I absolutely loved it! What I anticipated and what I got from it were completely different. This was the first book I’ve read by Kat Addams and it was a great introduction to her writing.

This is the complex but fast moving story of Madison and Preston. Madison is an absolute formidable force, she knows what she wants from life and she isn’t afraid to get it. Preston is a classic playboy with hints of something just below the surface that he seems almost afraid to let escape for fear it’ll tarnish his playboy, carefree reputation. He was not a character I found immediately engaging right off the bat but I can’t say Madison was for me either, I didn’t dislike them by any means, they were just different. As the story progressed I was actually glad that they were written the way they were and that my feelings were mixed as I, in a sense, evolved WITH the characters while reading through the book.

My favorite thing Ms. Addams does with these two is that by the end there isn’t some massive personality change. She stayed true to the characters and who they were at the core, they grow into their personalities and lives. It was an incredibly enjoyable read.

Something I think that’s important to mention is that while there is a lot happening on the surface of the book, between innuendoes, banter, comedy etc., the deeper parts of it is really something special to read. Great book would definitely recommend.
