THE PERFECT SEDUCTION by Brenda Jackson

Did not finish book. Stopped at 27%.

I just don’t feel like this is the book for me or maybe the author isn’t for me since this is the second book in a week that I’ve dnf’d.

Idk why but I felt weird about the male MC not being physical with her only because he promised her grandfather that he wouldn’t. Like why is the grandfather having that conversation with him. I stopped listening for 2 days after that. Then I came back today to find out that the reason her grandfather did it was because he found a note that she had written about all her feelings for him. Basically he read her journal because she never intended to give him the letter. I get wanting the best for your daughter but making him promise not to sleep with her because you know he respects and basically idolizes you is weird as hell. She was upset with this man for years because she thought he didn’t want her in that way and only found out when she called off her engagement and her mom finally decided to tell her. Now she’s a 29 year old virgin because she wants to redo her prom night( the night he turned her down) Also the age difference is a lil icky to me. She was really smart so she was 16 at prom and graduated and I believe he was 19 in college so I guess them not sleeping together was good in that sense but they shouldn’t have been together in the first place.
