I was excited for this book. Peaches sounded like someone I would get along with. So very wrong.



The book began kind of well. I say kind of because Peaches, as interesting as she sounded in the summary blurb, began to get annoying very very quickly. And while I thought Dalton came on waaaay too strong at first, I liked the banter between him and Peaches. I did not enjoy her constant stream of inner monologue'ing about how hot he was and how tight he was and the semi-erotic thoughts she had and how bad she was for thinking those thoughts.

And I swear on my books if I read "I'm not the 'fun' girl" one more time I will print the cover just to use it as a dartboard. Its one thing to say it every so often, its another to say it practically EVERY TIME your boyfriend or your friends comment on you. She'd say it out loud (and be refuted constantly), she'd think it (while doing something your typical 'boring' girl would never do) and she'd loudly proclaim it almost proudly.

Dalton quickly wore thin on me too however. Something just seemed...odd at times. You come to find out why his reactions were a bit weird at the VERY end of the book. And you know what? Frak you very much. To them both. Dalton for being shadier then you can imagine and Peaches for being the idiot who didn't see the signs.

If your celebrity [fake]vampire TV star boyfriend purposely seems to evade your questions about what his current project--that will catapult him from Edward Cullen status to Brad Pitt status presumably--wouldn't that make you suspicious? Like suspicious enough that you'd, I don't know, ask questions and not just be distracted when he decides to pull out his porn star background sexpertise?

And honestly their relationship didn't work for me. It moved so fast. At first I thought 'Oh well okay its a one night stand to friends with benefits to something more dealio'. Not my favorite trope, but hey do what you gotta when its multiple books long. But Dalton was so intense the entire time. And invasive. I can't think of any other word for him.

I'll give Peaches credit, she was consistent about not changing how she looked. A bit cosmetically (dressed a bit more showy, did her hair a bit more), but she never one thought she had to slim down to be with Dalton. Actually most of her self-doubt was geared more towards "God I'm so boring" then "God does he think I'm fat?", which was a welcome change of pace (though as I said it was way overdone).

In the interests of honesty I went and read the synopsis (and many many reviews) of the next two books and it doesn't sound like it gets better. At all. In any way. What little interest I had in Adrian is quickly shoved aside for the fact Peaches apparently doesn't LEARN A THING.… (mais)

This is #2 in the Borrowed Billionaire little quickie Erotica stories.
As you can see by my stars, I liked it more than #1. Lexie is funny and up for some interesting sex games. She is young but not afraid of her sexuality. The situations she finds herself, or maybe I should say puts herself into, are hot, steamy and funny.
Both part #1 & #2 is only about 37 pages each. Regardless, the author, [a:Mimi Strong|6521180|Mimi Strong|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png] manages quite well to create a very interesting story that concentrates on Lexie. You can almost see this modern young woman, confidante in herself and just having a good time.

A cute short erotica romance. Lexie is a very lusty young lady and doesn't apologize for her sexuality. Talk about getting turned on at the drop of a hat. I didn't expect much from this one, but surprise! No editing problems and the writing actually flows nicely. There is even a bit of a mystery with the Grace and Mr. Thorne roles. So all and all..... For a short read in a 5 part serial, I recommend it.

This one is #1 in the serial [b:The Walk-In|15993271|The Walk-In (Borrowed Billionaire, #1)|Mimi Strong|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1350027695s/15993271.jpg|21750862]
