Only His by Olivia Ashers
2.0
Rushed
The woman is clearly suggesting from Stockholm Syndrome as well as being blindingly stupid. Someone tells her they're married, and she does nothing to try and find out if this is the truth? I appreciate that some women like rough, dominant sex, but this should be done through consent. What he did to her was rape. He degraded her every chance he got.
The dialogue was also very immature.
The plot felt rushed, and full of dead ends. Her father? Never mentioned again. Their marriage? No idea what happened. Her sister? God knows what happened there. Amanda? Just a random filler to show isabella and Sebastian's softer side. The detective? Dead-end.

Fun
I liked the book, and the two main characters had some fantastic chemistry. However, what really bugged me was the dialogue. I get that rich people can be snobby and stuck up, but David meets this this and the first thing he says to her is that she spreads her legs and is a whore? Business is a lot about reputation, and speaking to strangers that way just isn't plausible. Even saying hello to this family and they would retaliate with "Don't speak to me whore. Go back to spreading your legs"
I just found that so ridiculous and over the top. Nobody acts that way. The other characters I liked, but the repetitiveness from Wolf's family really brought the book down for me. I would have liked to see more calculating meaness, just like his mother did, rather than the exaggerated, over the top dialogue that just wouldn't work in real life

Pent Up by Mae Harden
5.0
Just like all the others, this book was fantastic. The overall plot of the book follows the same format as the three before it, but let me tell you, it never gets old, and it never feels stale. There's enough uniqueness to make it totally worth it.
Julia may just be my favourite out of the sisters. I love her sass, her fierce independence. I loved her in all the other books, and this is the one I was most looking forward to.
I have to say though, my favourite from the entire series is our dear Gran. She is a treasure and she must be protected at all costs. It was sad we didn't get to see more of Olive during this book, especially with the bakery being such a huge landmark in the series, but I can understand why she wasn't in it much.
I have devoured each and every one of these books, and I am already itching for Asher's story. It saddens me to think he might be the last one we get, as that will be all the siblings tied up in their new lives.
Thank you for creating such a wonderful family for us, for creative characters we easily fall in love with.
