Kyraryker’s quotes


"She thought it over, but couldn’t see any immediate loopholes other than the threat of her inner slut emerging, and she could darned well control that little bitch."— Susan Elizabeth Phillips

Even too cruel for my black heart

All the Ways to Ruin a Rogue: The Debutante Files - Sophie Jordan

I sooooooooo get what you all were saying! This wasn't banter, teasing, or sniping, it was meanness. I was hanging in there until around the 40% mark when the hero is incredibly cruel to the heroine not in just an one on one situation but in front and with a mean girl from her past and present. My heroes always come through for the heroines in those situations.

 

I didn't feel the romance here, especially since they didn't really come together until the last 10% of the story, yes really, the VERY end.

This could all be my personal preference but you're honestly going to have like meanness between your leads to like this.

 

*I still like Jordan's overall writing, she is great at sexy sex scenes (hellooooo desk scene!) and will be giving her next book a try, which I hope will feature Struan the seemingly cold-hearted Scot.
