Review: I enjoyed the male lead but over all though the story was a bit predictable.

Seven Years of Bad Luck started off very promising. You meet 26 year-old Kat who is home alone while her husband Aidan is on a "business trip". While Aidan is away, Kat come to the conclusion she wants a divorce from her husband who has had more affairs than she can count. She finally has courage to leave him and tells him pretty much the moment he walks through the door. I didn't know the character of Kat very well yet but I was proud she finally had the balls to kick Aidan to the curb.Kat moves to Dallas to start a new life, single. Her best friend Cheyenne comes with her and two are both trying to start fresh as divorcees. Kat meets a HOT domineering man in a bookstore named Ben. The two meet a few more times in strange ways and I was starting to think that Ben was a stalker or had something up his sleeve. I really wasn't sure of him at first. Kat and Ben begin a very intense relationship very quickly. Ben is a very domineering man, not Christian Grey domineering but Ben is bossy towards Kat. I usually do not like men telling me where to sleep or sit or eat but I found it very sexy with Ben, especially in the bedroom. The book has some erotic scenes but I would not file this book under erotica.As quickly as their relationship comes together it quickly falls apart. There is a bit of a crime/mystery in the book but I honestly found that part of the book confusing and boring. I understand there has to be some drama involved in the book but I think the author could have kept the drama on Aidan and him trying to win Kat back when she is dating Ben now. I found the men in the story to be more interesting and I was starting to really like Aidan by the end of the book.The ending was sweet but predictable.  I really loved the two male characters Ben and Aidan (more towards the end). I also really liked the flash back scenes between Aidan and Kat. I felt so sorry for Kat but also for Aidan, the two married so young and both had issues they had to overcome. I think the flashback scenes were my favorite parts of the book. Over all it was good book that was well written.I give Seven Years of Bad Luck 3 Stars.
