pickThere are some moments when the reader gets a distinct 50 Shades dejà vu vibe but, we have a good ol' NY Gangster...at least, its hinted. It's often pages of coddling the female who was virginal and naïve to the point of eye rolling - played up by her rural Southern charm. Her besties are bitchy, but you get the feeling Banks was trying to be genuine. Good story if predictable.
pan⭐️ Not Maya Banks' best book.. I enjoyed the Breathless series but this one was just a waste of time. 👎🏻 goes nowhere for me.
Can't wait to be done with this book.: at least I found a quote! 25% left ughhhhh.. 😵
Having a hard time with this Maya Banks.. I've read a couple of hers before and they went a little smoother.. After to hit the 50% mark thank goodness.
panYou know the alpha male, Insta-love, HEA genre? Yeah, that's my guilty pleasure. When I want easy, mindless reading, I find a book boyfriend and lose myself in his trilogy. Sad to say, I couldn't get out of this world of alpha Drake and his minions fast enough. This book was terrible. Crappy dialogue, ridiculous plot devices, a female MC I wanted to put in therapy, and all the misogynistic tropes you could want. Just... No. 😖 #bookisholympics one
