Review: Kept woman....
Rating: 2 out of 5
Date: 11 3, 2013
This is the second book in this series and I have to say I am saddened to see what started out to be such a strong character reduced to a kept woman. In the first book Chey was strong willed, spoke her mind, and was chasing a career she was passionate about. That was all swept away when a prince asks her to date him....then she no longer has a career, she takes his money, and chases after him like a desperate, weak mistress, it's as though her life revolves around him and at his whim. At one point she even compares their situation to the movie Pretty Woman and the prince asks if that means she's a whore....uhhh yah red flag...that's exactly what it looks like.This book was sad the steamy scenes were vague and underwhelming their whole romance fell flat, there was no chemistry. In the first book Chey is warned (repeatedly) by the prince that the politics, manipulations, and dangers would only get worse if they continued dating, so what do both of them do when a plot to split them apart takes place.....they believe the lies of others not even verifying the facts face to face and just accept it ( well the prince does which makes it even more ridiculous) and not see each other.....ummm hello...it was stupid!I was actually hoping this book would be an improvement over the first one, I was very skeptical about buying it now I am sorry I did and I won't be going any further or purchasing anymore books by this author. The only reason it's not one star is because the author can put together a decent sentence so the writing was at least acceptable. I won't waste anymore of my time on this series. Enjoy!
