Virtuous Lies by Haley Jenner
2.0
Man I had high hopes for this book. The beginning was freaking strong. I loved that Bianca was willing to sacrifice herself to save her sister. She seemed so badass and I had high hopes for her. Freaking Vincent and his steamy eyes and protective ways had me pining for him from the get go. He was broody and possessive and everything I love in a fictional man.
Unfortunately it all went down hill from there. I hate instalust. Bianca is in a forced marriage and from the get go gives so much of herself to Vincent that she get instantly humiliated by him. She was dripping for him for no good reason.
The spicy scene were pretty great I must admit. But they got slightly repetitive.
The plot felt super strange. It almost felt like the plot focused around Gabriella more than it did Bianca. Bianca was just the side character. The young innocent virgin who is making dumb mistakes all over the place. Freaking Vincent had way more patience than I would with her whiny ass. I wanted to throttle her a couple time for being an idiot.
Also Bianca turned out to have absolutely zero personality or backbone. She was either horny or feeling bad for herself. There was no fire to her. She would start to stand up to Vincent and then just roll over and play dead the minute his dick came out. I don't know. It just didn't really hit the spot.
