this book gave me 50 shades vibes but if Ana worked for Christian. I saw a lot of reviews about this book and they were saying, "how could you like Jameson if he is such an asshole, etc" and tbh, I see it, there were a lot of moments where I was like... wtf??!! but, I wasnt too upset about it, their relationship made sense in that world bc he is a CEO and she is an employee and all the stress that he was under and, all that was going on during that time. It was def not an excuse but, the character's personality matched the stereotypical traits.

overall i liked the plot and the smut that came along with it! I do wish
they would've dug a little deeper or given us a little bit more about the hayden/?lara? situation, i was very confused as to who was the actual culprit of it all and it wasnt finally confirmed until the epilogue so that was kind of annoying lol
but maybe that wasnt the whole plot of the story? who knows, overall i enjoyed and i would actually read tristian's book next hehe. thanks for that sneak peek at the end, def felt gravitated to read it!

3.5 stars.

she said the F in her name stood for “fuck bunny”

DNFed @ 60%

I hate this book. The FMC was stupid, the MMC’s annoying, the chemistry was non-existent.
medium-paced

sub plot of alcoholism, he’s a narcissist, hot and cold, lowkey violent 

4.5

This is one of the best billionaire romance reads. The banter is top tier. The broody man is on point. The sexual tension is palpable. The miscommunications are HUGE, so the fights are over the top, but the making up is worth it all. I love it!
