Sweet Filthy Boy by Christina Lauren
3.0

It was ok. It was cute and I did enjoy the main characters. However, it felt like Christina Lauren was trying to hard to make smut happen. I have read all different types of spice level in books and do not have a problem with lots of adult content (examples, Penelope Douglass, Scarlett St. Clair) but this book just wasn’t working in that department. I felt second hand embarrassment on several occasions and honestly it took away from the plot. There is spicy scenes that drive the plot and spicy scenes that work against the plot. These felt to shoved down your throat “look we can write spicy books” and it didn’t feel like it flowed/fit with the story. The plot had a ton of potential but I was slightly disappointed. If they would have made the book longer and developed their actual relationship more I think it could have been a way better book. I finished it and didn’t mind it but I won’t be reading the rest of the books in the series.
