Unethical by Jennifer Blackwood
3.0
Actual Rating: 3.5 Stars
Unethical follows the story of Payton Daniels. Payton's entire world is turned upside down by her mother's death and the scandal surrounding it. Two years later, Payton is in college pursuing a medical degree and just trying to move on. All is going well until she runs into her ex. She's terrified of him telling everyone who she really is and to make matters worse they share two classes together. Will Payton be able to move on and keep her past a secret? Will she be able to forgive her father and understand his actions? Will Payton be able to give Blake a second chance??
Unethical started off really well. I enjoyed the story-line and found it to be really unique. I liked how the author drew you in and made you question medical decisions that doctor's are faced with. This story was not just one of a second chance at romance, but also about Payton getting a new start and a second chance at her life.
Unfortunately, I had a really hard time connecting with Blake and Payton. Don't get me wrong, they had some really steamy, swoon-worthy moments that I really enjoyed. However, I would have liked to see how their issues from the past tore them apart and how they worked to get past it. I needed more passion, angst and fight from them.
I also would have liked to have seen more of Payton's roommate Jules. I thought she was an interesting character with a lot of potential.
Overall, i did like Unethical. Unethical was a quick and easy read for me. I liked the medical drama and the moral debate. It did have some good humor, angst, romance and drama. This is Jennifer Blackwood's debut novel and I think that she has a lot of great potential. I look forward to reading more from her in the future.
