ssrosepetal 's review for:

Didn't Expect You by Claudia Burgoa
4.0

I have been excitedly waiting for this story. However I have to be honest and say that I prefer Ford more than I did Nate. Sorry, not sorry. And while I enjoyed Nyx (and love her name) I did have one major issue with her. I really enjoyed this book but also had a hard time with it because I kept feeling like Nyx was a complete pushover. Don't get me wrong, I think she is a strong character and was pissed when she got wrongfully terminated (que Pierce and I loved the crossover!! Can't wait for his story). But it bothered me that she just basically handed her life over to Nate. HE bothered me because he just didn't seem to care about her opinion. Oh he acted like he did but he more or less controlled the whole situation. And while I understood that Nyx needed a break and help she just kept acting like a doormat. She just let his assistant research and make appointment after appointment for her. She let Nate control her shopping experience. She traveled back and forth with him. She ate whenever he gave her food. Then it bothered me when her family showed up and he couldn't even let them dot or help take care of her. He didn't even care that her family was concerned about her. I do have to say I'm glad that she didn't take up his offer to work for him. Though I was also irritated when he kept saying that he didn't think it was a good fit for her. Seriously!! Let the woman have some control and make her own decisions. Alright, I think my rant is over. I really enjoyed this story and had a hard time putting it down. But as I said I also was easily irritated with it all. I'm looking forward to Eros's story now and hope that his love interest keeps him hanging because he irritating me at the beginning of this story too... (lol). *I voluntarily read an advanced copy of this book for my honest and unbiased review.*
