Well that was excruciating, the cliffhanger ending has its hooks in me though

I don’t know why but I’ve been imagining the dad as Thanos for some reason. I don’t know if that’s more a me thing but prob.

After listening to the first book in the Filthy Rich Americans series, I was a little too invested in the drama not to see where it was headed. This series is like a much more twisted soap opera than romance, and frankly, I'm already on the ride.
Marist has been essentially sold by her fiance Royce to his father for the bargain price of $10 million of shares of the company. She feels bettayed and rightly so. Now, she's heartbroken, pissed off and out of revenge. Fortunately for her, Royce's father Macalister is happy to help. He just keeps on pushing because like it or not, he's obsessed with Marist. She challenges him and denied him his two minutes during the initiation, a move she thought would grant her and Royce a reprieve. Instead, it's fueled Macalister and he won't let her go - even if she does love his son - until he gets what he's owed.
Phew. This was a whirlwind of a read. I mean beyond messed up with the daddy connection, but a trainwreck I can't seem to look away from! 🤣 On to book three because I HAVE TO KNOW.

Messy Messy. This is the second book of the Filthy Rich Americans series. Marist feels betrayed by Royce when he essentially sells her to his father, Macalister. Marist is Macalister’s obsession. He thinks he needs to get her out of his system. He comes up with all sorts of creepy means to do this TO HIS SONS FIANCÉ. Meanwhile Royce is letting it all happen AND Marist is developing deeper feelings for him. This family is problematic to say the least. Also ends in another cliff hanger.
Overall Book ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Originally read 11/3-11/6
This took me forever to get through because I genuinely can’t comprehend the father in this book. Like he is so delusional and I just feel bad for Marist. Just because he made her do those things doesn’t mean she likes him. Idk I know some people like this trope but for me I don’t. While this book has a little more plot and substance than the last one and she kind of does her own thing I still found this one kind of weirder than the first one and that’s saying a lot (iykyk). Also the ending I remember having my jaw on the ground and I genuinely forgot about that part until I got to that chapter.
