Review: Wickedly Hot But Not Enough to Hold My Interest

Careless wasn't my first book by Cleo Peitsche and though I didn't particularly like it, it probably won't be my last. That being said, I won't continue on with the After Forever/Bisexual Billionaire series.If you are looking for character development or even a plot, you won't find it in Careless. Not that I'm complaining about that. The novella is 54 pages so I wasn't expecting a lot in the development front but I did expect more than I got. In all honesty, you learn more about Kimberly, Samuel, and Nelson from the book blurb. Kimberly and Samuel are in love with one another but are best friends and have no clue the other feels the way they do. Instead they just pine for one another. Nelson, the new guy in town, is on-the-outside-looking-in and notices it all so he propositions the two of them to a night of debauchery.While Careless, the first novella in the After Forever/Bisexual Billionaire series was wickedly hot, it wasn't enough to keep me interested in the series as a whole. Especially the way it ended. I'm sure Ms. Peitsche hoped the ending would grab readers but it just annoyed me as I found Samuel to be an douche to the nth degree. Because of him acting the way he did for what I felt was a stupid reason, I honestly don't think I want to read more about him.If you are looking for something short, hot, directly to the point, and don't mind ménage and/or male/male scenes, then Careless just might work for you. Unfortunately I've read some seriously good smut lately that was not only hot but plot and character driver so in comparison, Careless was sub par for me.*eARC PROVIDED BY POUCH PRODUCTIONS VIA NETGALLEY*
