Alex & Malcolm- BRAB Online Book Club
This is the second book in the series and covers Alex & Malcolm's story and was drama filled as expected. I just want to go on record as saying that I do not like Malcolm's character. He is a despicable, manipulative serial cheater, and a poor excuse for a man.
When Alex decided to leave him and relocate after his latest affair, he went berserk. Not taking responsibility for his actions, he blamed everyone for his downfall. This character went around threatening, fighting in his quest to win back his wife.
Alex on the other hand, anxious to move on, tried to meet someone who would take her mind off her cheating husband. She will soon realize that people are not always who they seem to be. I have enjoyed the series so far, it is a fast paced, page turner with never a dull moment.

Monroe's
This was a good book and still full of Monroe drama. I Aiello say that I wish rude editing was better. Full conversations in a single paragraph left me a little confused.

Oh my gosh this second installment was explosive. Malcolm and Alex should have never been together. I think he's bee lying to her their entire marriage. This character Malcolm (his worst enemy) was a man no women wants to meet. He's temper was nothing like I've ever seen before. He has never taken responsibility for actions. And to me his character was off the chain. His actions made no since to normal people. My mouth drop open all the time throughout this book.
When Alex finally decided to leave him and relocate after his latest affair, he went berserk. Not taking responsibility for his actions, he blamed everyone for his downfall. This character went around threatening and fighting people to win back his wife. Now so where this books leaves off is Malcolm where he's suppose to be and hopefully they will administer some meds.
There is so many twist and turns that I don't think I'll get my happy ever after in this series. This really is a great read!!!
And it continues the Un-functional lives of Malcolm, Lance and Lacey Monroe.

Jaw dropping
I didn't think Malcolm could be more depraved or his unbridled temper get him deeper into trouble. But I was wrong. This guy never seems nondestructive when to stop and think. He just does and thinks later guided by extreme passion and no logic.
These characters have me engaged from Sylvia and her duplicity to Nikki's erratic desperation. And Alex and her increasingly problematic choices primarily because trouble finds her more than she is looking for it.
Please. Read this book. You won't want to stop until the end.
