About this deal

The half-dozen Banks books I’ve read left me with the impression of a vanilla woman writing “kink” for vanilla readers. all I can think of while reading this review is how much in damages she’s going to be entitled to, if the relationship sours,and the fact its actually in the form of a physical contract….

However, the age thing threw me off a bit and the whole "contract" thing sounded a bit too familiar. She has no problem standing up for herself, but when it came to Gabe’s contract she just let him take total control of her life. Jace is Gabe’s best friend and is a business partner (along with Ash – book 3 of the Breathless trilogy), so he’s steered clear. He pulls her from that situation after it goes badly and comforts her and does apologize, but his grovel is for a later transgression. On top of this, the book features one of my all time favorite tropes: I’m in love with my best friend’s little sister.While the brothers in the book profess to love the heroine, she felt to me like a woman in a bad situation who looked for any port in a storm. The contract doesn’t specify anything really – it just kind of says “I, Gabe, can do anything I like. I thought Ash was going to have to fight to get the lady to fall in love with him, that's not how it turned out at all.

Some we receive from the authors, some we receive from the publisher, and some we receive through a third party service like Net Galley.I understand that it was a dark moment and pivotal in the relationship but it came off as abusive of the heroine. I don’t want to spoil it, but he misreads the situation and takes corrective action as soon as he understands what’s going on. Mandi: Mandi – We chatted a little bit about this on Twitter, so I’m unsurprised by the fact that you didn’t like it. This is a couple whose love story I engaged in fully, and relished seeing them get their happy ending. If I had any complaints, it’s that he is a bit obsessive, which can be off putting, and he does make a giant jerk move toward the end of the book.

I would have had a harder time with Gabe’s treatment of Mia had I not really believed that he was in love with her from the beginning and that all of his talk about “don’t fall in love with me” was directed more at himself than her. In the last 2 “Sweet” books, I was bothered by scenes where the heroine was “given” to strangers – it was all consensual and the heroine enjoyed it but for me, it strayed too far from romance for my enjoyment. She’s not really considered working in an office, and certainly doesn’t want to deal with nepotism accusations.If I happened to be in a more critical mood I”d probably give this book 2 stars, but I’ll be nice for this one. too bad Gabe’s name didn’t happen to be, “Ted”) I don’t know what it is with the male leads in these romance stories, but they’re ALL THE SAME! It's supposed to be a dominant relationship but only takes part of that lifestyle and skews it oddly. On top of that I would have preferred the girl to not be such a weakling and the guy not be such a creep the entire time. Turns out, I was right, Rushworked for me on almost every level and I’m even more excited for Fever, the next in the trilogy.
