Bad Boy Brody by Tijan
4.0
***I received this ARC as an exchange for an honest review.***
I am a huge fan of Tijan and love almost all of her books! This one was within the 1% that I didn't love. The book isn't bad in itself. The story line was great and I liked the idea that it was something so different. I just could not get into the story. At about 30% through the book, I needed to take a breather and read other books thinking I was in a slump. Which I sort of was in a slump, but even after I got my groove back, I couldn't get into it in the way I was hoping to and looking forward to.
The book just felt too unrealistic to me and I think that is where my problems were. I get the whole Celebrity going through a struggling phase. Let's face it, I would be in the same boat if I listened to my sibling die on the phone. Horrible...Morgan on the other hand did not make sense. I get that she lost her mom and that is another Horrible tragedy, but it isn't very realistic to think she would live with horses and that no one knows about her. How did the producer not dig up dirt on the family or the paparazzi. Like come on... We know that would really be the case here.
I do like how Tijan made these two find one another and how they helped the other heal. Both these stories individually were good, but I don't think the love interest was the way to go. I really struggled with Morgans character in multiple ways. The writing just wasn't letting me connect enough with her.
