Entice
by Ava Harrison
3.5 stars.
This was fine, I honestly don't remember a lot of what happened.
I listened to this on audiobook, the narrators were really good. I enjoyed listening to this.
Something I'm noticing with this author's books is that, the tropes and scenario's that are happening are things that are normally right up my alley. I love it and I devour it. However, with the two books I've read by this author there is something with the writing and the execution that just doesn't work for me.
Also, the blurb is a little misleading, to me. From the blurb, it makes it seem like Grayson and River met at least once before, when River is an adult and he flirts, there is some chemistry, and they go their separate ways or not. Or something along those lines. What actually happens is, he is going to dinner with his former best friend (River's father) and River shows up before her dad and stepmom. Grayson briefly talks to her, finds her attractive, I think (if I'm remembering correctly) he might have asked her to have a drink with him. And then her father shows up, and Grayson realizes that River is his former best friend's daughter.
I understood why River felt so abandoned, first her mother just drops her off at her father's that she never met, when she was a kid. Plus the multiple times her mother flaked on her as a child and adult. Then as adult there were moments where people (her father and stepmother) would not tell her that they were leaving, a restaurant, the house, whatever, and it was just weird. I could definitely see why River had a hard time not feeling abandoned, even in innocent situations. How often she freaked out, did annoy me, but I still understood.
Overall this was fine, I enjoyed it but it'll probably be another year or more before I read another one.
