A review by africreole
Dark Ruler by Xavier Neal

3.0

I hate cliffhangers

That really got to me. Besides that, I struggled with this book. I just did not feel Chantal and Beni's relationship. I didn't get the warm fuzziness with their relationship. I don' mind the Italian and then the interpretation afterwards. I would be looking up the translation as I go anyway so that was helpful to me.

I've read many books by Xavier. She's one of my one click authors but she missed her mark with this one. I enjoyed certain parts in the book. I enjoyed seeing Chantal taking Beni to task about taking her for granted but she still needs to recognize that he heads an international family business. I guess I'll have to read the next book to see what happens next. At least I do have the next bookand don't have to wait weeks, months if not years for the next installment.
