Badly written rubbish. The story was so stupid, it was like something a teenager would write, with all its teenaged angst and immature deama, and unpleasant behaviour by the characters. Especially the horrible heroine who's like a spoiled, teenage brat who doesnt know how to behave or act, control her emotions, or behave in anyway like a grownup.
The writing ability is terrible I wondered if this and the previous book I just read, Kept by the mountain man, were written by the same author under a pen name because they both had exactly the same basic writing, a list style, with the same limited vocabulary, and a very stupid, juvenile story, with juvenile characters.
They both even had the same cover/guy. It wasn't enjoyable to read the poor writing and the unpleasant. Here's an example of the list of "I" sentences on just one page-
I was quiet at dinner...
I was tempted to go upstairs...
I knew I should go...
I worked well with other people.
I hoped that Michael would take notice of the way
I worked and spread the news to the other partners at the firm.
I went into the ballroom..
I searched desperately for Marilyn..
I made my way over to the bar.
I peeked over my shoulder...
I ordered a glass of wine and downed it..
I spent my time watching people...
I might want to talk to later...
I recognized from various cases...
I knew they were the people I wanted to start with.
I could learn the most from...
I was desperate to do in order to move up..
I felt a shudder run through me and turned around to see Michael.
I could tell he was drunk..
I said my standard answer.
I never wanted him....
That's all from just one page. Gave up before 25%, because the basic writing, immature characters and ridiculously stupid, teenage melodrama story was boring and cringing, and the characters were so immature it all made for very unpleasant reading. Would never read this so called author again.
