This one was just OK for me. I didn't particularly like Tori. She came across a bit like a bitchy waste of space to be honest. Instead of doing something about her problems she pretty much just whined about her shitty life and her bad decisions. The whole poor rich socialite that everyone misunderstands gig was strong in this one. You don't want people to label you a hot mess then maybe stop acting like a drunk slut. It's not rocket science.
That said, she does improve somewhat as the book goes on. Unfortunately then the book turns super preachy about how women are thought about. How they take the brunt of the bad press when a sex tape in leaked...yadda...yadda...yadda. The following gif was pretty much how I felt for the majority of this book.
Like I said, just ok for me. The writing itself was fine and the plot (though annoying) moved along at a nice pace. Mile's was a decent hero and the sex scenes were decently hot.
Romance Schmomance
Written on Dec 14, 2016
Tori, a trust fund baby and quite the socialite are trying to clean up her act a bit. She essentially has it all, but a run-in with an ex results in a sex tape starring her. Completely turning her life on its axis, her father has had it and kicks her out of her place with barely anything on her. Defeated and barefoot, she seeks out a safe haven to escape from the mess in her life; her best friend's, Chloe, apartment. Much to her surprise, there's another person staying there, her arch nemesis, Miles Girard, Chloe's brother.
Already loathing each other, the tension is high, but all of that is bound to stir up something between them.
Even though they seem to hate each other, Miles helps Tori out.
Miles is the geeky knight in shining armor. As much as he says he can't stand Tori, he is definitely attracted to her. And he finds himself helping Tori out in her time of need.
In this one, I loved Miles more than Tori. She seemed to fly off at the handle a bit too much. And with Miles feeling the guilt of a horrible situation that his sister had to endure, he doesn't want the sit aside and does nothing while this sh*t storm happens to Tori.
It was definitely an enjoyable read, Tori and Miles are an interesting mix, but they'll definitely make it work.
