Mister O
by Lauren Blakely
Bad habits are hard to break. I think this series, for me, has become a bad habit and it's definitely time I break it.
I just don't think I love a f/m romance that's told exclusively from the male perspective. I don't mind if it's told exclusively from the female perspective - easier to relate, I suppose. But a singular male perspective that, in the case of this book, consists primarily of Nick going on and on and on about his ability to pleasure women...it's a shock that I actually finished this book.
I couldn't root for the characters, much less care if they got their HEA. It seemed superficial and lacking substance which, given the length of this book, is rather surprising. Also...I know there are only so many tropes in romance. But one particular reason this book irritated me so much? The heroine asking her brother's best friend to tutor her in the art of sex and seduction has been done before...by the same author!
I hate quitting on a series midway or just bailing on an author altogether. But...I think that time has come. I've enjoyed a great many of her books. But, it's time to break this habit.
