More Than Crave You by Shayla Black
4.0
★★★½
I had high hopes for this story but I just needed a little more. It took a while to develop and the pacing was off.
Nia Wright worked for Evan Cook as his personal assistant for 3-4 years when Evan’s wife passed away. Evan decided that he needed a new wife to help him keep his home life organized, after all, who’s going to cook, clean and do laundry 🙄🙄🙄.
Evan requests that his PA post an advertisement for a wife to help him, (I must admit that I was completely appalled at this part) and she offered to help him find a more traditional companion. In the meantime, she will fill in by cooking and cleaning his place, while keeping him straight at the office. 🤔 I wonder what woman offers to cook and clean for her boss after spending all day answering his work phone, setting his calendar and grabbing his coffee.
This is the beginning of a cliche storyline but the diversity of the characters added more flavor to the story.
Nia is black and Evan is white. Race didn’t play a big role in the story but their socio-economic status did. I mean, he’s a billionaire and she’s just an assistant. I liked Nia because she was very clear and upfront about her wants and wishes. Evan on the other hand didn’t communicate as well but it was because he didn’t know what he actually wanted. So he made this book challenging as he went from an automaton to a man bursting with feels thanks to his new inspiration Nia.
I liked the story but Evan annoyed me. I’m also sick of the rich unfeeling man stereotype.
