Second Best by Noelle Adams

4.0

3.5 stars rounded up to 4 stars.

I liked the book. I just loved the hero!!! I hated the fact that we didn’t get any POV from him. I am not sure about the heroine though!! Maybe that’s why I am cutting the stars. Well, no character is perfect, but still, I just dislike some of the things.

Safety Issue:

Spoiler

Like her kissing someone else knowing that she was going to have sex with the hero maybe hours later. I know there is no commitment between them, but still. If we replace the heroine with the hero, what I am saying is in reverse situation, no way I would have liked it commitment or no commitment. But, I am glad that she was feeling guilty and told him about it. And she also broke things with the hero before dating the jackass. Forget to mention there was a brief make-out scene with that jackass. Well, another trigger we got a dead fiancé for our hero. He was in love with his ex when they first meet, but that didn’t last long. Well, my point is, his fiance was DEAD and no living OW drama, even he was celibate during the short separation time. He was no man-whore, a perfect gentleman type of sweet, charming and sexy kinda guy. So, yeah, I loved him. 💘💘💘

The writing was good. It’s not cliché, it feels real. Like- every billionaire doesn’t have to be typically handsome or they don’t have to do manicure types of things just because they are rich, even no bodyguards or paparazzi drama. And like every other lawyer the heroine doesn’t have to dress like a pro, (I am picturing Jessica and Donna’s wardrobes from Suits) her wardrobes can be boring.

I liked it just fine. I am rounding the stars because of the hero and the reality vibe.
