Charlie is the fourth book in Rydeville Elite series and is followed by a trilogy. I was literally squirming in my seat, counting down the seconds for the review copy to drop in my Kindle. I was so excited and rightfully so, because I enjoyed the hell outta this!
Charles Barron Jr., aka, Charlie was one of the side characters in the previous books. At the end of Sweet Retribution, I was left heartbroken for him. Due to his past mistakes, he ended up losing everything - his family, his friends, his love. Beating himself over the guilt of the role he played in his father's demise, Charlie had effectively secluded himself.
The story starts the night of Charlie and Abby's wedding. The woman he had sex with his wedding night is finally revealed and it is none other than his PA, Demi.
Demitria Alexander, aka, Demi is the daughter of a former employee of Barron Banks who was more or less kicked out of his job by Charlie's dad, due to a critical medical condition the former had acquired. Struggling to take care of her ailing father, paying off her student loans, mortgage and medical bills, Demi has no time for relationships much less the complications that comes with sleeping with her boss on his wedding night.
When Charlie is hell bent on bullying her, it is easy to ignore the attraction between them, but is she strong enough not to fall for his charms?
The dynamics of Charlie and Demi's relationship was portrayed marvellously in the first half of the book. I loved the way Charlie bullied Demi. Siobhan has indeed woven her magic and her writing skills are impeccable. The level of angst and smut are well balanced and with perfect timing.
But in the second half of the book, the story gets more narrative. I mean, there were scenes which I'd have liked to be read rather than informed of later. Also, we weren't given much details of Elite business and since it was such a major part of the first three books, I was looking forward to get more information about it. The ending was a bit rushed, but the epilogue made up for that.
I enjoyed reading this book very much and am desperately waiting for news on Drew's book.
