Temptation by K.M. Scott
2.0
⭐️2/5 ⭐️
Yeah nah. These characters were... interesting. I almost DNFed at 70% because the characters just became that infuriating to me, but I was hoping for a nice, well wrapped ending, so I persevered. It didn’t get better.
The whole way through the book the characters whine about the same shit, and at one point one of the side characters makes a comment about ‘Cash’ fixing his act and Cash looks back on this. He recognises this unhealthy behaviour and then continues with it for the rest of the book. Communication would have gone a long way for these characters. The shit that they fought over was so inconsequential and unnecessary - like normal 26 year olds don’t act like they did - but they would repeatedly do it. They would again RECOGNISE this crappy behaviour and then carry on with it.
There is a section where Olivia says something about knowing something (i’m not gonna day cause like spoilers, even though I don’t recommend this book to anyone). It’s something she knows isn’t good, she knows the outcome isn’t going to be good, but she does it anyway.
In addition there is an epilogue that is so infuriating! The book ends at this really weird place where the characters should be working out their drama - but aren’t, what’s new? Then the epilogue just picks up the same way a scene we’ve already read. AKA old script gets reused. The most interesting character in this book - the only one that I kept reading for, got the lest page time. Honestly if he’d been been the love interest this book would have been better.
Listen. I’m a simple person. I’m all for a trashy, smutty romance novel - but when the book is so filled with flaws, like literal flaws. There was phrasing and grammatical errors, spelling errors. The characters were irritating as shit for at least 80% of the book, and the sec scenes weren’t even that good (I’ve read better in books that have REAL PLOT). I think that the book had potential and it was really let down.
Look it was still a bit of fun. It isn’t THE WORST new adult romance I’ve read, but it’s far from good in my humble opinion. I don’t recommend, but if you wanna spend a few extra dollars $... Go spend it somewhere else :)
