2 Nope, not for me stars
Sorry, I just didn't like this book. I loved Sparrow, and I was hoping I would like this book that much or more, but I couldn't stand Vicious. I love a sexy Asshole as much as the next girl, but said Asshole is suppose to have some kind of redeeming qualities. Something that makes you soften to him and fall in love with him. Not Vicious. He was just a straight up asshole. At no point in the read did I think "wow I can totally see why Millie loves him.". At no point did I find him sexy or desirable. I did however find myself annoyed with him and bored with the whole book. I found myself wondering wtf was wrong with Millie that she would want a jerk like Vicious. How could she love him when he was never, ever nice to her. I didn't care about their relationship. I didn't really want to finish the book but I heard it got better. I felt the good part came way too late and was so different from the Vicious we knew the whole book that it felt forced. Overall I'm just disappointed and over it.

I liked the book but I can totally see your point. I didn’t think I would enjoy it but somehow I was sucked way, way in.
Great review, Jessica! Everything you said is so true! Nothing redeeming about him, a lot of pointless moments and I didnt really care about the characters. I struggled to get through this and kept with it for the exact reason you did... I heard it was really good. Over hyped for sure.
Fab review Jessica! Sorry it didn't work for you. Hope your next one is better. :) x

Jake Wyler: No, not Janey Briggs. She's got glasses. And a ponytail. Ugh, she's got paint on her overalls. What is that?

Excellent review Jessica! I do agree with you. I had a hard time with Vicious as he really was mean. This was not one of my favourite out of the series... even though I did get sucked into it!❤️
Didn't even read the book but your review sounds very familiar lol...when author gives us a****.
My GR peeps are pretty mixed about this one, some loving it, others hating it. I guess I'm kind of curious about it because of the range of reactions, but still not sure whether I'm curious enough to actually read it... Straight up assholes without any redeemable qualities who, somehow, get HEA's (especially after miraculous personality transplants that magically occur at the last minute) don't really appeal to me. Like you, I often wonder what the hell the heroine is falling in love with - beyond his supposed mad skills in the bedroom, of course. 🙄
Sorry to hear this didn't work for you and that you were both bored and annoyed. I've totally been there, where I simply don't care about the relationship and/or the characters and then the whole thing just drags itself into DNF territory and/or it's...
Appreciate your honesty, hon, and great review! 🙂

Can't agree with you more! This author's entire portfolio is not for me
Totally 100% agree with you!!
Totally get where you're coming from. I found it entertaining and addictive but Vicious had nothing that had me saying "Ah, that's why she loves him." Great review!
Exactly my thoughts!!! I don’t even know if I should read the next one because this one disappointed me.
Definitely agree. I loved Sparrow too so this was a disappointment.
