Mr. Wicked by Marni Mann
3.0
I wanted to like this book but honestly, I wish I had DNF’d it.
I couldn’t relate to the characters at all and the FMC drove me absolutely bonkers. The plot had so much promise but I think it was missing higher stakes. Usually the fun part of the reformed playboy trope is that she believes he’s like that and doesn’t want to risk herself with him. This typically puts the MMC in a position to really prove himself. Instead here, we know from the first couple of chapters she doesn’t buy it. So what’s the point of even using the trope?
It just wasn’t my vibe. The writing was solid and the spice was good but I didn’t enjoy the characters or the half done tropes.
