The Price of Paradise by Susana López Rubio
1.0
I could not buy into this book for a second. Well, maybe for the first few chapters and then it just got stupid.
Spoilers:
Here is where the book lost me. Gloria's husband is a homocidal, pedophile mafioso. However, very little in Gloria's or Patricio's behavior indicates that at all. So Cesar bludgeoned someone to death in the dressing room, but hey I'm gonna come over (P) and see you (G) in the middle of the night. And G is just going to say hey come on in and come up to my daughter's room and wake her and say hi and give her a book because children always keep secrets and being upstairs with me is so cool with my husband And oh here is my husband, no problem P was just delivering shoes. Ha ha no worries. Oh and Cesar likes 14 yo girls and he tried to get busy with your daughter but like she told him off and so he just backs off and hey everything is OK now. Nothing to worry about.
There was so much more. The writing wasn't great. The character development was lacking. Patricio begins the book and a fun loving charmer and then that just disappears. I honestly can't even believe i finished this book. Sorry. I wanted to like it.
