A review by tab2004
Cruel Money by K.A. Linde

4.0

I mostly hate the virgin/man whore trope because I know these guys are never going to change for one woman. They will eventually go back to treating sex like a competition to see how many they can bag. So a girl waiting around for them just pisses me off. Here Natalie doesn't do that. Yes Penn hurt her but she moves on.
The next time they meet he has no idea who she is (cause there has been so many) but she doesn't back down from him and his rich childish friends. The bet fit right in with this twisted groups ideals and was also a good way to show Penn wasn't any better then them. He just thought he was.

I really liked Natalie and how she refused to take any shit. I also appreciate a book where the female lead isn't just going through page after page of meeting some girl her man has fucked. In this book at least Natalie has more than one guy after her. And the ending was amazing - the kind of ending I wish for these types of books all the time. With a couple of sequels though I am not sure how much that will keep happening.
