Temptation becomes insanely addictive. Knight and Dawn have put their stamp on characters that are crazy, flawed and adorably suited for each other. The Proposal Problem takes romance on a tawdry, irrational and downright hilarious courtship to put a ring on it. Percy is the independently kooky bad girl that keeps finding herself in the weirdest situations. Anton is the man determined to make his mark on her world and her heart. Clueless becomes sweet with tons of naughty thrown in. Loads of fun!
This review is only for the first book in this kindle bundle, The Proposal Problem. And problem it was. This book was very repetitive and completely unrealistic. I get it. It's a royal wedding fantasy where real life consequences aren't a thing. But this was so far removed from reality that I couldn't forgive it.
One huge flaw was that the time line jumped confusingly. I did eventually get used to it, but there was one specific jump where I couldn't tell if it was 2 days before, or 5 days after. Simply adding the word "before" would have made a big difference.
Another problem I had is the language. I use the work fuck all the time. I really, really do. But the mc of this book used it far, far more than anyone I know. I did a search in my Kindle copy and the 1k pages (I couldn't separate my search to just TPP unfortunately) found the word "fuck" two THOUSAND times in the document. And some of those other files aren't even written by Knight and Dawn! I just. Fuck, man. That's totally unnecessary. It's to pepper speech, not dominate it. Another word I had a problem with is the excessive use of "coc6" (not sure if I'm allowed to type that on GR?) Authors. There are so many other words you could have used. You didn't have to limit yourself to just the c word for almost the entire book. Change it up a little!
The main character, Percy, was an annoying little shit almost the whole book. I prefered Anton's chapters by far. She was flighty, uncooperative, and unreliable. She has a serious drinking problem, and it wasn't cute. I'm going to have to go more into that in future, because I have lots of thoughts but no time to express them.
Now, I haven't read the previous two books, but if they had the amount of Percy in them that her friends were in her book, I don't think I missed much, so I doubt that colors my review.
