Series – Naughty Relations
Hero – Ross Ranger
Heroine – Alexa Andrews
Alexa is majoring in library science, who suddenly needs a room mate when hers takes off for Italy. Ross is a tattoo artist, who’s room mate kicks him out for a girl.
Ross supposed best friend kicks him out with a week’s notice seems odd. It also comes across weird at the start of the book Alexa starts be referring to her parents as mom and dad and switches to their given names, when it appears they are close, then later it seems a lot more distant.
After a lot of bad prospective room mate meetings these two end up together. They both think each other’s hot and Alexa is very shy and awkward.
I liked their story and their relationship but the intimate scenes are jarring and often don’t seem to fit the characters giving me WTF moments. There’s a too many moments that just don’t blend well or make sense given the situation. The sex talk is crude, with weird word choices and pops out lines I would expect from a BDSM or raunchy sex story. It’s implied that funds are tight and yet her mother goes off on a shopping spree? Ross rents a limo and clears a fancy restaurant? I know he said he called in some favors but he’s a tattoo artist, nothing in the story indicates he would be able to call in those high end favors. She’s drugged unconscious and he doesn’t take her to the hospital? If their relationship part of this story hadn’t been good I would have rated this a 2.
I voluntarily received this book for an honest review.
