Review of Untamed (Hotel Temptation Book 3) by Caitlin Crews


UNTAMED

Lucinda has come to this island in paradise with only one goal: to get playboy Jason Kaoki to allow her company to put in a luxury hotel on his island. She's not above using her feminine wiles (blech) to get him to do things her way, either. Um yeah...

And that right there, ladies and gentlemen, is where this book lost me and never got me back. In this day and age, in the era of #MeToo and this author has the gall to throw this crap in?! Just no. Not that I don't appreciate a woman's sexuality, because everyone's sexuality is important, and everyone should be allowed to express it. But to use it to get ahead or to use it against someone else? Nope. Make that HELL NO!

But still, I had to read ahead and find out if it got better - newsflash: it didn't. Because a) insta-love, b) Lucinda never becomes likable and c) basing Jason's character on Jason Momoa is not exactly a good way to show him tribute as Jason Momoa is a happily married man, not a manwhore, and nothing like the character here.

So, yeah, this book did not work for me in any way, shape or form. Bad leads, insta-love at its worst, and before I forget to mention it, Jason was willing to throw away his beautiful, untouched island to a disgusting developer all for the chance an unlikable woman like Lucinda would give him the heart she didn't have. He didn't give a toss about the island's natural inhabitants apparently. That's pretty shitty if you ask me.

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...
