Excerpt
Dallas
4 p.m.
Jett
She’s late.
Maybe she’s not coming, a$$*#!%.
That’s a distinct possibility.
What did you expect? You’re the enemy.
I am, and she’s too smart not to realize I’m springing a trap. She also knows I’m powerful enough to destroy her and all she holds dear.
But I’d rather not. Does she know that, too?
I shove the thought away. What’s in Whitney Chancellor’s mind—and heart—now shouldn’t matter. She made a choice, and I’m going to make her regret it.
You made a choice, too. And she probably hates your guts for it.
But that doesn’t change anything. If she doesn’t show today, I’ll keep coming at her. I have ways to bend her to my will.
She will give me what I want.
I tap an impatient thumb on the charred wood of the handscraped bar. The faux-rustic room is designed to be a “laid-back” watering hole, but since it sits in the middle of a horribly pretentious hotel in an exclusive, five-star part of town, I’m calling bullsh!t.
I’ve been here ten minutes, and I already despise this place.
You’re just nervous.
No sh!t. But this site is less than two miles from her house, so I’m here.
It’s been eight years, and I traveled halfway around the world for this. For her.
That doesn’t mean she’ll come, especially since you ordered her to.
In hindsight, that may not have been my best strategy, but cushioning my approach would have been counterproductive. It’s best if she understands I’m a world-class bastard, and nothing—not even her—will soften me.
Whitney has probably discerned that. After all, I’ve put her in a terrible position. One of two things will happen next: she’ll sweetly capitulate like she seemingly did all those years ago…or she’ll tell me to go f*ck myself. With her, I’ve got a fifty-fifty shot.
I’m almost hoping she chooses the latter.
At the sound of heels clicking across the tile floors in the otherwise empty bar, I snap around.
And I nearly drop my jaw.
Review:
Rating: 1 out of 5 stars
Isn't that romantic? Isn't romantic to know that Jett slept with Whitney's acquaintances? Isn't it romantic to be told again and again that Jett slept around? Wanna know the best part? We even got the "I have never stopped loving you" line. I haven't rolled my eyes so hard in a long time.
Now wanna hear the sad part? Whitney is a virgin. She couldn't sleep with any other man because they weren't Jett. She knew what (or should I say who) Jett had been doing for the last eight years and yet she chose to remain faithful to him and that's plainly pathetic. I was expecting a lot more from this author. Not to mention that she should have left him after he revealed his master plan.
The book is supposed to be 87 long and it felt even shorter. It has 3 chapters and an epilogue and the whole story happens in like less than 12 hours. If this book had been a novel it would have worked, but in this format, it didn't. There was supposed to be so much hate on Jett's part and yet the moment his Johny got wet he forgot everything. Actually many things were left unresolved and it was annoying.
The romance was not believable at all and the heroine just made me sad. Oh, did I mentioned that she is engaged to another man?
