Monica Murphy’s Owning Violet kicks of her new series about three sisters with Violet, the middle child who always seems to do whatever people want of her. She is never one to make waves, and everything in her life is perfectly scripted from her job in Fleur Cosmetics to her current boyfriend. When that perfect boyfriend leaves her for a job in another country, in steps Ryder McKay, who has his own agenda when it comes to his position in Fleur Cosmetics.
The story was insanely hot, and the sex between Violet and Ryder was off the charts. That being said, I didn’t particularly care for either Violet or Ryder. Violet was wound so tight it was ridiculous, and she allowed her ex-boyfriend to walk all over her in a way that was extremely disconcerting. And Ryder was such an asshole that he was almost unredeemable. I thought their story was interesting, there were definitely some plot twists I did not see coming, and the book did get better as the storyline progressed. I am interested to read the next one because I really want to know what happens to Rose.
