Black Lies by Alessandra Torre
1.0
I'm going to give myself a reward for finishing this one.
Smexy books are supposed to be fun! Smexy books are not supposed to be boring. Smexy books should have characters that you can at least tolerate. The sex should at least be hot.
Didn't happen in this one. I almost didn't give it a one star because I did like the authors writing. But then the more I read the more I hated this book. I can not do that. I have other books by this author and my friends love her. They were divided on this book so I'm going to read something else by her before my final determination.
But this one?
Layana is a little rich girl, never worked a day in her life. She was pampered by mommy and daddy her whole life and once she got her hands on that trust fund she decided it was time to live the way she wanted too.
By hooking up with mega rich Brant.
Mommy and Daddy wanted her to be some rich guys trophy wife so she is out to prove them wrong.
I never could work up any like at all for her character. She pissed me off.
Brant is super smart and of course, drop dead gorgeous. I wonder what would happen if in one of these books the couple was just poor white trash?
So begins their love affair. The love affair that is boring as crap.
Then she meets Lee. Does him too.
(it's not cheating-so don't get your panties in a wad)
She connives her way into his life and runs off his girlfriend. Then she lets him talk to her like a dog. Calls her the slut. WTF?
I don't like any of these damn characters.
Then the BIG TWIST!!!
My answer to this whole book is:
Because I can't even work up a decent rant about the whole damn thing.
