If you like Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James, This Man by Jodi Ellen Malpas, and In Flight by R.K. Lilley then you will love this book!!!
Basic Summary: Stalking and restraining orders are a thing
of Alayna Wither’s past. With her MBA
newly in hand, she has her future figured out—move up at the nightclub she
works at and stay away from any guy who might trigger her obsessive love
disorder. A perfect plan.
But
what Alayna didn’t figure on is Hudson Pierce, the new owner of the
nightclub. He’s smart, rich, and
gorgeous –the kind of guy Alayna knows to stay away from it she wants to keep
her past tendencies in check. Except,
Hudson’s fixed his sights on her. He
wants her in his bed and makes no secret of it.
Avoiding
him isn’t an option after he offers a business proposition she can’t turn down
and she’s drawn further into his universe, unable to resist his gravitational
pull. When she learns Hudson has a dark
history of his own, she realizes too late that she’s fallen for the worst man
she could possible get involved with. Or
maybe their less than ideal past give them an opportunity to heal each other
and finally find the love their lives have been missing.
What I Love About
This Book: I like that the protagonist
in this book has an actual issue with her life, she has an overactive mind and
because of that if she doesn't keep herself busy she obsesses over things and
that’s not an exaggeration. It’s easy
for me to relate to something like that because I hate being bored too, and do
tons of stuff to keep myself busy. Also
I think any girl out there who has ever liked a boy has done something stupid
and crazy because of like, drive by their house. We've all done something like that so it’s
easy to relate to the fixation issues that Laynie has, although obviously she
takes that kind of crazy to a whole new level, but it makes her more relatable
to the reader.
The
pace of the book was great, I didn't feel there was any lags or lulls it went
pretty quickly, but not too quickly that I felt like the story was scattered
which I liked a lot. The sex scenes were
amazeballs, very very hot and sex. Also
I like that there was detailed sex scenes where they needed to be and not have
just one detailed sex scene and then skim over the others. The story in general was very compelling, and
definitely intriguing.
Cons: Details, details, details! I feel like this is my number one complaint
lately and it’s starting to get on my nerves.
It’s just a pet peeve of mine when an author can skip on details of
important things, but then get into great detail about other things. I’m over 70 pages into the book, and I still
don’t know what kind of apartment (I’m assuming it’s an apartment) Laynie lives
in. There is no description of where she
lives whatsoever, or where it is, how close is it to the club, why that
apartment, does she have a roommate; nothing!
Plus the club where she looks at I got a massive description of the
“bubbles” section of the club, but that’s it.
I know what a night club looks like, but this is supposed to be an
exclusive type of place, and I need to know what sets it apart from any other
place, where is the bar located to the dance floor, what colors dominate, that
kind of thing. There is none of that, I
don’t know when authors stopped realizing how important those kind of
background details were, but it’s getting my nerves!
Overall: If you love rich hot men, with rich hot sex
scenes then this is the book for you.
There is no BDSM in it like Fifty Shades of Grey so if you liked the sex
in that book and not the BDSM, then this is the series for you. Like I said before the pace of the book was
great, I didn’t feel like it was too slow or too fast. I do wish there was more details about the
places around them. When Laynie mentions
how his loft is modern and the Hamptons house was traditionally decorated there
needs to be more details. Traditional
for the Hamptons is not traditional for most beach houses or other places in
general. There needs to be more detail,
I need to feel like the author has her own place in the Hamptons or has
researched it enough to know exactly what that means. The same goes with New York City, tell me
about Laynie’s apartment, what color are the walls, what kind of furniture is
in the space, what is decorated throughout that tells me about her. All those little things add to the character
and make the reader more attached to characters as well, and leaving out those
details is what separates a series from being legendary like Fifty Shades of
Grey from being so so.
