Garbage! No way 5 stars for this!
Really? This came out of Shan’s camp? I’m really starting to believe these known authors are putting out these crappy books to boost their sales. There’s no way in hell Shan could have the Rozalyn series and not know this is a bunch of garbage. What in the heck did I just read? This was fast paced and not really in a good way. The story jumped so much from one thing to another that it was just frustrating to read along with. I mean by the end of chapter 2 we find out just how stupid Rose is, she’s being beat and used by her secret boyfriend, sent and out of jail for a five year sentence and yeah, she had a baby by him while locked up.
This is by the end of chapter 2, she’s actually out of jail and now falling for a guy she’d just met at her release party, did I mention she ran down her whole life to him (Remy) just because he asked her a question? So of course he demands she works at the strip club for him and this is all by the end of chapter 2. It just gets worse from there, she’s working see’s the ex takes off crying, the ex pops up and forces her to leave with him and their baby. Then he’s sodomizing her to only take the baby with him leaving her a bloody mess.
Yeah, she runs to Remy who takes her back to his house where she doesn’t want to go to the doctor, instead she wants him to check her a**hole to see why she’s bleeding so bad. Yeah, she barely knows him and of course he’d be able to tell what’s wrong with her a**hole and you guessed it, he kissed each cheek and she was all better.
Couple chapters later the two are at his home, his mother is a complete ass and sends her packing for him to fly right back to get her. Forget the fact that the ex has kidnapped and raped her, Remy demands she return with him for two weeks without her daughter. To hell with the last four/five years she’s been without her daughter and the fact that the ex already kidnapped her. He’s getting his future wife and taking her back with him. WTF? We don’t see any relationship with the two, stuff is just happening with no rhyme or reason to it and this is all within the first ten chapters.
Not even 30% of the book and I’ve just about had it with the nonsense. To sum this up...a mess, the author was having waaay too hard a time trying to tell the story and have it make sense and flow from one issue to the other. It came out as a jumbled, jerky mess; like a new driver trying to get use to the car while talking like they know how to drive. Again, I can’t believe this came out of Shan’s camp or the five star reviews it’s received.
The only way you gave this more than two stars was because of only a couple reasons, you know the author, you attended a non-accredited public school or you just haven’t read a book in your adult life. Go read S.W. Frank, Alfonso series, Wahidia Clark, Thug series, Taz Will, STL314 series, Roxie Riveria, Her Russian Protector series, Latrivia Nelson, Meldov series anything because this is a hot mess and Shan has to only be putting this out to make her book sales go up.
