Envy by J.R. Ward
2.0
I would have given this book a better rating, but Reilly, the heroine, ruined it for me. I don't think I ever wanted to slap a character so bad and by the end, I didn't even want Veck to be with her. It was all good until past half of the book when she listened to Bails and believed everything the guy said about Veck. For an IA officer, I expected a more suspicious nature and not take everything black for black.
Before that episode, she fancied herself in love with him and kept reassuring him that he wasn't like his father, etc. That his parentage didn't define him and she was an example of that. What pissed me off the most was the fact that after Bails framed Veck, she didn't even bother to go to Veck and demand explanations but rather, she was eager to find evidence against him to prove his guilt so that he would be thrown in jail.
What knocked her silly head on the right track had to be a video of Bails among Veck's father's fans. And she chose that moment to remember their moments together, how he was with her... Seriously? Even when he passed the polygraph test, to her, he had tricked it.
I've come across annoying heroines throughout books I've read, but I have to say, I'm putting Reilly at the top for stupid b*tches I want to slap silly. For now.
