Reviews with content warning for Addiction - Most Eligible Bastard

This is a super fun unique take on a contemporary billionaire romance while also somehow being an incredibly classic romance story. The book deals with heavy themes (check trigger warnings), but never feels too serious and always focuses on the romance.

For probably the first half of the book I felt a little sick anytime I was reading Henry's perspective, his initial view on Vicky is that she is a scummy scam artist and it hurt a little to read that much vitriol. The ending made up for it though. Initially, this is an incredibly whirlwind romance, I think the majority of the book takes place within a month period. But the ending of the book shows a level of dedication and deeply affectionate love over more than a year, I absolutely adore the way this finished.

My greatest disappointment with the book would be that we didn't get to know more about Carly. Vicky's younger sister is hugely important to her throughout the book, but I wish we had gotten to know Carly more as a character and not just as her sister's back story. I think knowing more about Carly would have been incredibly interesting and would have led to a great sense of 'happy family' at the ending rather than just 'over-the-top romance'. I think more Carly would have taken this from a pretty brilliant, if a bit basic romance, to something truly stellar and unique.

After hearing a snippet of the audiobook of this on someone's Instagram I had to download it. Henry's voice was so dreamy and the female voice actor for Vicky was amazing. I loved them both and am just sorry we didn't get many sexy scenes told from his pov.

I literally laughed out loud at so much of the antics going on and the heat between both the main leads was so thrilling it had me captivated all the way through.

The story was so humorous and cute but sexy and heartbreaking at the same time. I absolutely loved the twists and turns and the enemies to lovers chemistry between Vicky and Henry was incredible.

I cannot wait to read and listen to more of this series and loved the writing style and plot so much. The characters we relatable, strong, and lovable and the addition of such a cute little Maltese pupperoo was just wonderful.

Tho I got worried it was so close to he end of the book and there was still a lot of tension and uncertainty, I'm happy to say this story DOES have a HEA 🧡
