Review of His Treat (Objects of Attraction Book 3) by Penelope Bloom
When Emily gets the letter that says her dream is finally coming true, she holds on tight to it. But then she gets offered a job by the boy in high school that sorta decimated her heart, and she's torn. She needs the job Ryan is offering her to tide her over until January when she leaves for Paris, but working with Ryan isn't exactly what she wants, nor what she thinks she can handle. But wait, it seems as if he doesn't recognize her. So she can do this, right?
I have to admit I'm kinda torn about how to rate this one. On one hand, I thought it was sweet and cute and Ryan and Emily are both adorable. On the other hand, the pranks played by William (from Her Cherry) and Steve, Ryan's roommate, are pretty douchey, THEY'RE pretty douchey. And uncomfortable and cringe-worthy. Yuck pretty much. And I didn't really feel the connection between Ryan and Emily. Yes, they were cute together, but passionate? Not really. I didn't feel the strength of their connection until the epilogue, honestly. And that's not exactly the hallmark of a great relationship if it doesn't seem strong until the last minute. This is definitely not my favorite Penelope Bloom story, definitely my least favorite of this series. But, it's not horribly written or anything. It's just a bit bland and the secondary characters were horrible. So I guess 3 stars is fair.
