Just for Him: The Complete Series by Talia Hibbert
3.0
Bad For the Boss – After finishing Jenny and Theo’s HEA, I think I’m finding office romances a little squicky in the era of #metoo when it never used to bother me before. I thought the meet-cute was funny but the idea that a successful man of 40 who’s described as a rather straight-faced, stick-in-the-mud could fall so ridiculously in lust at first sight
Having said that, I really enjoy the representation - that Theo is half Chinese and she’s black and their culture’s are represented. I liked that Jenny’s hair was a plot point – I had to look up what 4b type hair was, so I learned something - and it was super-cute that Theo watched YouTube to figure out how to help wash her hair.
Undone by the Ex-Con – I liked Isaac and Lizzie’s HEA better, even though I wasn't sure how I felt about a convicted killer as a hero, but the circumstances turned me around. The pseudo-sub scene was hot, and lI oved the cameos from Theo and co. "I'm bored," was the best line in this. I loved, too, that Isaac was actually shy, but mistakenly perceived as mysterious, but at the same time, a shy woman would be considered a snob. #doublestandard
Sweet on the Greek – The trend in this series seems to be cinnamon heros – men who have tough exteriors but are soft and gooey inside. This would be tru-ish for Nic, although he is funny in that he recognizes that he’s always had it easy with women, and men, so he’s never had to work for it.
This was an enjoyable series although it's not my favourite by Talia Hibbert, I enjoyed her Ravenswood series more.
