Review:
I was excited to read this because it is something totally different than anything I’ve read. The thought of Mari not keeping her occupation secret was refreshing, and she was rather strong. There was some very entertaining dialogue and all, but overall I found it difficult to connect to the characters.
When Cosmo catches Mari snooping, he tells her that he won’t let her hurt his father, but yet he continues to let her stay in the house – supposedly so he can keep an eye on her. Although, he knows she is up to no good, and intends to more than likely cause problems for his father (whom he loves, by the way), he continues to try to seduce her.
The story was hard for me to swallow, no matter how much I chewed. I tried and tried, but this just wasn’t for me. I like it when authors think outside the box and create non-stereotypical characters, but I still have to relate to them and believe the story. This wasn’t the case with this one.
However, despite this, the writing is pretty good, so I don’t doubt there are many readers out there who can appreciate the story. I think my negative opinion of this book is more of a personal taste than it is a bad story, therefore, I have to give a neutral rating.
Rating system: Cups of Coffee (the less the better)
0: You won’t need any coffee to stay up for this one. It’s intriguing enough all on its own.
1: You’ll stay up late, but not all night. Brew one cup.
2: You’ll read as long as you’re not tired. If you are, two cups should do the trick.
3: I hope you got plenty of rest; you’ll need it, or at least 3 cups.
4: If the cable goes out, read the book. It’s better than nothing, I guess. Oh, don’t forget your brew!
5: Find anything else to do- it doesn’t matter what it is. Don’t waste your coffee. Too much caffeine is bad for you.
My rating: 3 cups of coffee
