Ruthless Heart by Eve L. Mitchell

3.0

This book was provided to me by Netgalley.

What an addictive read! I couldn't put it down and finished it in one sitting. It wasn't mind blowing, but the writing was great and got me obsessed.

Writing style: Sometimes you pick up a book and it's written in a way that you can't help but love. You can't quite put your finger on it, but the book is addictive and you won't put it down. That was the writing for me in this book. It was so well-written, which made the average story so much better.

Characters: Everyone was a bit too two dimensional for me. I like my characters with a bit more personality. And no, being an asshole can't be your only personality trait.

Story: The plot was a little messy. I got the overall impression that the author was trying to hard to show and not tell, which didn't always make sense. Sometimes you need to just tell your reader what's going on, because we can't figure out everything on out own.

Romance: This was a great enemies-to-lovers romance, but I did miss the chemistry. And the smut could've been a little less rushed. But the coffee throwing, chasing after, bickering, and overall sexual tension was definitely there.

It was a nice read, but nothing special. So I'm keeping it at three stars.
