Wrong way, right way?
There is so much to hate about this book, though I strangely love it. Misconceptions, misgivings and misunderstandings abound.... not to mention a healthy dose of degradation and self-conflagration. It’s weird and repulsive at times, though strangely sweet and compelling. I was ready to put it down 3 pages in... but JUST KEPT READING... then I was caught and had to know what happened. He wasn’t as bad as she thought, she wasn’t as mercenary as he thought and they both were, fundamentally, startlingly normal. WTH...
Pros:
- It’s hot... even if it makes your feminist heart rage.
- You get it. Honestly, you do.
- He’s not perfect, emotionally or physically. In fact, he is so freaking normal and human you’ve probably met him in your day to day.
- Multiple POV, you NEED that here, otherwise.... *shudder*
Cons:
- It’s messed up.
- it’s degrading.
- It’s confusing.
- You don’t want to like it... but you just might. Ack

I’m not one for third person POV but I adored this book. Perfect amount smut, darkness, and romance all wrapped up in a cute little country bow.

What can I say about this book that others haven't said. I will say we definitely get what the blurb states. We get Bill who is a harsh man who owns who he is. Christina is our heroine who will bend over backwards for those who she loves.
What starts out as a proposition turns into so much more. The miscommunication that takes place did make me giggle a little bit. Talking was not high on their list of things to do when they were together. I will say they definitely had chemistry and the spice factor was HOT!

4 stars because I have been on a DNF slump and this is the first book I've enjoyed and finished in a LONG time!
The part at the beginning was a bit tricky, but I liked how it was handled and I LOVED the heroine xD I found her funny and realistic. So many times in romance novels the train of thought is so... out there that I can't stand it. And I didn't feel it with this one.

It goes without stating that this book’s premise is wrong on so many levels... in the real world. But in fiction? It turns into a funny, insightful and scorching hot exploration of two characters who somehow manage to make their relationship work despite the fucked up decisions that brought them together in the first place.
I loved the author’s writing style. Very clever use of words for descriptions in many places, and character voices and observations that really fit their personalities. Will definitely read more from her.
