Review: I was so annoyed reading this book!
Rating: 2 out of 5

There are so many things wrong with this book. I found myself rolling my eyes and talking out loud because I got so annoyed!So, this book is about a spoiled young girl who grows up with 4 older brothers because their parents died when she was really young, so they are all she has ever had. Scarlett meets her brother's best friend (Alec) and falls in love with him and decides that he will be hers someday and will do whatever it takes to get him.1) I don't understand why the author felt the need to repeat thoughts over and over again. Example: "She is unlike any other young woman" pg 20........"then again she is unlike any other young woman." pg 23. It was the most annoying thing about the book because this is done over and over again.2) I didn't feel the attraction or love they felt for each other. Nothing wrong with the young girl falling in love with the older brother's best friend, I quite like the idea. I just don't think it was believable enough. Alec just one day had an epiphany and he wonders if it is love he might feel. Ah....hello? You just considered the possibility that you might love a woman after 3 years! It was done too much in a rush.3) In my opinion, just like another reviewer said, the characters and dialogue could have been written better. At certain points in the book I knew what the next line was going to be before I read it. I'm not going to lie, I didn't even bother reading some parts. It really wasn't that good. I honestly believe this book needs to be rewritten.What I did like:1) I liked that the heroine did grow up and didn't act spoiled throughout the book.2) I liked the idea that Scarlett was the one that seduced Alec and she refused to let the affair end. Usually, it is the other way around and usually it isn't done with an innocent young woman at 17. I liked this because it was different than what we usually read.3) It did pick up towards the end and I liked the drama that unfolded when Alec and Scarlett's brothers found out the secret.Scarlett literally goes into Alec's bedroom one night and strips in front of him...before that she spent the whole night seducing him with her eyes and faint touches.So i liked the idea of the book I just believe the author didn't do a good executing it. This book had lots of potential but the writing wasn't good at all and the repeating thoughts was the most annoying thing. I'm actually disappointed because I liked her other book "Until You."
