Beneath This Man by Jodi Ellen Malpas

3.0

If my birth control started disappearing once I met someone I would definitely get suspicious, this ridiculousness infuriated me beyond belief. And I would like to know how someone is a billionaire from owning a sex club? Millionaire, maybe but I find it ridiculous that that this guy was that rich from his lucrative profession. Just like the first this was extremely entertaining but not really much respect for these characters. Jesse continues to beg Ava to disregard her job without any concern for her education or drive that put her there in the first place. In turn, Ava always ends up putting Jesse first and I just can't help thinking that these people are so narcissistic and self involved, I truly wish that her boss would have fired her. She doesn't seem concerned with her clients and never has repercussions for neglecting them, as she does through most of the book. What work has she even done for The Manor? If the author had devoted even 2 of the abundant sex scenes to her process and effort she put into the interior design for the Manor I might be able to think she was somewhat capable at her career. Also, what was the author trying to prove regarding the incident at the bar? To prove to women that they aren't capable of going out on their own and most certainly need an escort? What century is this? And last but not least: why in the hell, if this is a British book, are the running distances in miles and why is the author not using British spelling? i.e. realise vs realize? This was so aggravating to catch the inconsistencies in these books. On to the third I guess, I am a glutton for punishment.
