Review: Seducing Mr. Right
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 04 1, 2014
I can't with stupid heroines and a flimsy reason for the two main characters to be apart -- mainly the heroine's stupidity. Such is the case with SEDUCING MR. RIGHT.Danielle Kastien has issues with powerful men; she believes they're only out to control and feels she knows this firsthand thanks to her father, who personifies these qualities. Ergo, when she meets the cute mail guy Grayson and they start a flirtatious coffee and small chat conversation, she thinks he's the perfect guy because he's not powerful, of course. No matter that he seems dominant -- he can't be because he's "just he mail guy." Spoiler alert, NOT: Grayson's last name is Harper, which means he owns the entire other division of her office building. Grayson knows from their talks that Danielle is anti-power when it comes to the opposite sex, but how can he change her mind? There you have the premise.My issues are that Danielle's arguments against Grayson are flimsy at best, nonsensical at worst. Therefore, the story became less enjoyable because all of Danielle's thoughts and decisions as they relate to "Grayson, mail guy" and "Grayson, powerful man" caused major eye rolls. For his part, Grayson was fine as a character. I just felt meh. I believe the author has some promise -- the story flowed well enough -- so I'm interested to see what else she has available. This would've been a 2-star rating, but as it was a novella, Danielle's asinine reasoning was only drawn out over a few pages and not several chapters.
