The book sounded so promising and I was really excited to read it though it sadly wasn’t as good as I’d hoped. It was just an okay read. The characters were interesting at first and made me want to know more about them although after a while they both became kind of dull and changed too much. Eden started out as a strong and confident character and then became shy and amenable. Dick was a cocky womanizer and became a loving and responsible father. Not that those characteristics were bad but it felt like they were such different people from the ones at the beginning and they didn’t just develop, it all happened suddenly.
The Story:
Dixon Crawford is known for his reputation with woman, no matter if single or married. Since he is a public person everyone thinks they know the real Dick though he tries to keep some things personal and out of the media.
Eden is Jaden’s teacher and knows all about Dick’s sleeping around though it’s hard for her to believe all that gossip when he’s such a caring father and lovely person. When her marriage turns south and Eden needs help she has no other choice but to ask Dick for help.
What happens next was bound to happen.
Thoughts:
I was mad at Eden that she wanted Dick to tell her about his past and his secrets when she would have never told him her secrets. That just wasn’t fair of her. Eden annoyed me generally because she once said that she didn’t want a billionaire but just a normal man though this was easily said when she had all the money in the world. And Dick wasn’t a normal guy anyway.
Some phrases in the book sounded so corny. I also didn’t like that some things were mentioned a few times when there was no need to, just once would have been enough. It just felt repetitive and sometimes it was like reading a monotonous soap opera. It was often dragging and I struggled to keep reading. About 80% in it got a bit better again and I made it to the end. The story had a lot of potential but there were just a few things that I liked.
The thing with her mum also happened so fast and almost without emotion. It bothered me because this was a huge thing for Eden and it felt like a walk in the park with a few stones on the way. And afterward she didn’t look back and was the same as before as if nothing happened.
There were actually a few events like the one with her mother or something with her husband that happened and just scratched the surface without going deeper. Everything was over and checked off of a list so fast. I wished to read more about what happened with her marriage but her husband wasn’t present often in the book and the ending was really abrupt.
I believe that there’s a lot of room for improvement however I would give another book of hers a try.
This book starts with a bang very easy to get into and entices you to keep reading and that just the prologue.
Dixon is a dick his words not mine. A divorced father of two, he fuck anything that breathe so he has built quite a rep as a player.
Being in a loveless marriage Eden is a bored young housewife who just wants her husband to pay just a little bit of attention to her. She’s beautiful and he only see her as a trophy wife.
Eden wants out of her loveless marriage her hubby is inattentive to her and their son and he berates her for acting like a whore even though he sleeps around.
Dixon becomes a great friend and is there for her during her separation he wants her but doesn’t want to want her, he has issue from his broken marriage.
You can feel the sexual chemistry between Dick and Eden and you hope they end up as a couple.
I loved this book I will admit the title lured me then the great blurb. I’m glad it lived up to the story. It has it’s fair share of complications and drama you’re always keep entertained and wondering was going to happen next.
Great story highly recommend!!!
