Review: A New Take on Cruel Intentions
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 07 2, 2014
Riley, a fairly innocent American girl is injured helping an old lady. She ends recovering up at Italian playboy Matteo's mansion. Matteo needs a wife to inherit, and Riley needs the money. It would be a simple arrangement in name only, if it weren't for the attraction that surges up between them, and Matteo's dangerous enemies.This was a short, fun read with just enough storyline (romance and mystery) to develop the characters and setting (Italy) a little and frame the sex scenes. Since I love Cruel Intentions, I did really enjoy the new spin on one of my favorite movies. I also enjoyed some more modern attitudes toward gender and the bad things that can happen to women AND men--and I can't be more specific without spoiling the plot.There were some distracting typos, which seems to be par for the course with e-books anymore.
