The Stopover by TL Swan
2.0
I think I need to stop reading about super rich, hot guys who have a tendency to be assholes. This started out to be a totally engrossing story and had amazing, steamy scenes. I was totally here for it. Emily and Jameson met on a flight and had a stopover together, and happen to find each other again after a year with no contact. There were great additional side plots. BUT!-minor spoilers ahead-I have some very big issues with this book.
There’s somethings I just can’t get behind.
Jameson was a total manipulative asshole to Emily. When he was sweet, he was totally sweet. But not every strong CEO has to be a dickhead, especially to his love interest. I was so, so deeply disappointed of how he treated Emily-and repeatedly! Emily was a pretty strong FMC and held her own, and even fought back, but how disappointing that a man could treat a woman like that (especially a rich, powerful man), and she takes him back? She even rejected him multiple times, and he didn’t listen to her (or really respect her). That didn’t scream love to me-it screamed manipulation, and abuse. I loved this story until the last 30%. If you’ve ever had a partner treat you badly, especially verbally or being neglectful-then come running back to you, this may not be the story for you. I totally felt the hurt that Emily was feeling.
