Survival of the Richest

Intense, seductive and overwhelming. Good adjectives that qualify the work, but can not express how surreal this experience was. This book will make the reader devour page after page, get frustrated, twist, get frustrated again, find out that not everything is black-and-white and be speechless at the end. Survival of the Richest is the first book of a duology, and the end, with a twist and a nice hook for the next volume, will provoke anxiety until its end.
We follow the story unfolding a long time ago, where a girl in her fifteenth year knows a boy she tried to be indifferent but failed. What began with a discreet, growing friendship, and was shaping up with the passing of time, ended up with hatred and many loose ends, many things not said. Now, at the age of twenty-four, this woman will discover in a somewhat harsh way that no matter how much she suffocates, when there is love, its remains hidden, and can resurface when least expected. The problem? A new character in this equation, which will make her rethink her feelings.
Jumping in time after the end of Trust Fund, Harper looks for Christopher to discuss why he did not pay her credit card bill. But she finds his partner in the office, and with that Sutton forms the other vertex of the triangle. Two different men. One treats her as a child, the other sees her as a woman. One refuses to acknowledge that there is something between them, the other is not ashamed to pursue it. One is closed, stubborn and with a moral sense that is sometimes unnerving. The other is seductive, persistent and enjoying life. Two opposites, but that will awaken ambiguous and disturbing feelings.
Needing money to pay for her mother’s treatment, she agrees to work for them by helping them in a project. This closeness will bring another side of Sutton, and the two embark on a kind of relationship, but Christopher’s shadow always remains between them.
The book is agile, dynamic, well written, with a good plot, sensual in the right measure, throughout the reading you end up wavering between who deserves your fans, there are several secrets not revealed, and the ending is amazing, did not expect the turnaround.
Christopher is the good boy, protector, who puts what is right above anything, even his feelings. Sutton is more action than reason, does not rest until achieving a goal and is not afraid to show what he feels. Harper is the pawn between these two men, the poor rich girl.
I loved the ending of this first book, neither of the two male characters in my view deserve Harper. I hope the next book will explain what the reason behind Christopher’s motives is, and whether Sutton really is true, or it’s all just a game.
Which of the two will she choose?

Love Hurts So Good!

At the end of the book, this lyric from a thought by the main female Harper sang in my head, “Sometimes love don’t feel like it should, you make it hurt so good.” Sometimes you know you shouldn’t love the man that you do love, but your heart can’t help it. Then sometimes the timing is never right. That is how I feel about Christopher & Harper. I read the prequel novella Trust Fund that introduced Christopher & Harper, & I am so glad I did. I am going to be honest & say I was rooting for Christopher the whole time (even when he acted like an a-hole to Harper). I liked Sutton, Harper’s other suitor, but I just didn’t feel as much chemistry between them. Because of the prequel, I didn’t get to know him as well as Christopher. But that could have been alleviated if the author would done different POVs. That was the one problem I had with the book which is why I gave it 4 stars. I wish we could have gotten into Christopher’s & Sutton’s minds, & I feel there were a few moments that were skipped that could have been important (I won’t say where because of spoilers). But now I want to know how it is all going to end in Evolution of Man!

I hate cliff hangers in not good at waiting for the next book to come out! This definitely leaves u hanging hand has a strange twist in it but overall it was good

It was a good read that kept me guessing.

Twist and turns, ending could have been better.

Reserving judgment and review until I read sequel

Love this book!!

I am sad I didn’t enjoy this book as much as I thought I would. Maybe the next will be better!

Now have to read the second book as there is a cliffhanger

This book just didn’t do it for me. None of It made sense. The heroine was wish washy. She claimed to have loved only one man but was with another. There was no real flow to the book and I felt the characters were flimsy.
