Carmen’s Reviews > Colton Christmas Rescue > Status Update

I don't think your response to her worries about her baby being sold to child pornographers should be kissing her.

"Look, last night the sex was good... hell, it was great, all right?"

Don't flatter yourself, ingrate.

"Don't," he growled, swinging around to face her and aiming a finger at her face. His nostrils flared as he dragged in a ragged breath. "Don't fall in love with me."

Oh, I wouldn't worry about that, bub.

Then, this asshole is like, "Amanda, we have good chemistry, and we're consenting adults. I'll go back to Jackson when the case here is closed, but until then..."

Her heart dropped to her toes.

Yeah, until then you'll just fuck her right? Great. So glad she had sex with you last night. You really came through, asshole.

Luckily, Amanda is having none of this shit.

"Until then I'm convenient

"What are you doing here?"

"Again... I'd think that was obvious."

"I mean, that face, those eyes, you could have any woman you wanted. Why are you here with someone who smells like horses most of the time, only wears makeup and high heels when she has to, and hasn't seen the inside of a beauty parlor in too many years? You could do better. Or is it just that I'm convenient and willing?"

Slade wore only his boxer briefs, damp now and clinging to his... Oh, my!

Clinging to his 'oh, my!"?!!?!?

Clinging to his "oh, my!"!?!?!?!!

*Carmen bashes her head into the wall*

His 'oh, my!' o.O

This book isn't reflective of what real people's feelings would be at all, especially considering both Slade and Amanda's past.

This guy is an asshole.

The scene where she catches him playing with the baby is admittedly cute.

As Slade settled in, she leaned toward him and whispered, "I saw what you did there."

"Hmm?"

"Next time you could just pee on me to mark your territory."

Slade jerked his gaze toward her. "WHAT?"

"That's how most animals do it."

He frowned. "I know that. I mean I didn't - "

There is so much wrong here I don't even know where to start.
