Whenever I read a book in order to beta or give a review, I always always read it twice. Once for enjoyment and once to take notes. Both times I completed it in a matter of hours because it is just too good to put down.
Here is the book blurb: Parker Stratton is a below-average Joe when it comes to talking to women.
He sees an unusual personal ad from a woman who trains men to become better daters, and replies out of idle curiosity.
Little does he know he will decide to go through with the plan, and he learns far more than he realized he would.
As Jess tries to remain passive and emotionally distant, he becomes more obsessed with who she is and why she lives the life she does.
When they accidentally stumble upon each other in "real life" being impersonal is no longer an option.
He comes to learn that she is not all she seems to be, there is far more to her story than he ever expected.
Some of the elements I enjoyed the most were as follows:
I LOVED the male point-of-view the story is told in. You don't see this a lot with romance and when you do it is rarely believable. Parker tells his story and he tells it like a guy would tell it. The character he plays fits the voice of the story.
No one is a virgin. Let's get real here, this happens all the time in romance novels, however it is very, very rare in the real world. I like that this book takes place in the real world.
SURPRISES GALORE. dude. seriously. I tend to think I can predict everything and I did NOT see some of this stuff coming. Like, at all.
Taboo issues. Cage touches on some pretty taboo points without making it scream activism or anything like that, once again, the book takes place in the real world. I love when I can see messages in romance novels especially.
The characters in this book are believable. They are flawed but also have amazing points. They make mistakes. The chemistry between Parker and Tessa is beyond beautiful. The way the plot unfolds is genius, she keeps you hooked to the very end. This book has everything from romance to drama to sadness to crime and even a guy in a tinfoil hat! I highly recommend this for any romance novel lovers! And it is a STEAL at only .99 USD.
Check it out and if you love it as much as I do, share it with your friends and help out a budding author! :)
