This is the second book I’ve read by this author. The first was “Jason”. I do find her plots engaging, but I wonder if these books are translated from a foreign language? If these books had a good editor and were cleaned up, they would be rated high. I also think her plots are good, but they need more length to expand/explain the plot more. The side characters were interesting, but again, we needed more.
The InstaLove in this book just didn’t work, IMO. Way too much stuff happened all at once, but they are already in love. 🤪 WHIPLASH
Spoilers ahead
h has been texting her dead ex for years. She basically uses texting as her diary. She is engaged to marry this bad guy. He beats her. She’s been texting her ex about the abuse. She is super depressed. The day of her marriage, the phone finally texts her back. It’s H. It’s his phone she has been texting all these years. He is waiting outside the wedding for her and he’s there to save her. She gets in the car with him. 🤪
After that, the rest of the plot gets confusing because we needed way more information. For a bit h is at his house, then she goes to her friends, then she’s back with him. She acts dense and doesn’t seem to know anything going on. Her fiancé had been using her business to traffic drugs/women. But it’s really his mom and h’s cousin who is running things. ???????? (I was so confused)
h designs houses, and H starts building her a deck (I know this sounds randomly thrown in, but seriously, H is building stuff during this whole book) 😂😂😂 It’s his house, but he’s giving it to her 🤷♀️🤷♀️ H flips houses. But he was also SWAT??
h wants to have smex with him from the moment she meets him. Like…..she would not leave him alone. He kept telling her to wait and it’s too soon, but she wouldn’t. Girrrrrrl was desperate. Finally, he caved. 😏 I actually had 2nd hand embarrassment for her.
Anytime I read a book where the plot starts with promise, then goes to la-la land, I rewrite it in my head. That’s what I did here.
Saying all that….i will probably still check out the next book in this series. 😂
