Just a Bit Heartless

My opinion might be the least common or the least desirable but my criticisms about the book seem to be extremely outlier-ish.

Just a Bit Bossy will forever be my favorite. I loved the banter and comedy above everything else. It's a book I re-read several times a year. For this reason alone I was incredibly excited to read this book but it fell a bit short.

First, I was on board with how everyone could feel intimidated by this man. He really didn't give psychotic vibes but it didn't mean they weren't there. I was on board with even thinking he wasn't psychotic but had to do questionable things in order to survive. You learn the reasons why. For Pete's sake he's a mafia boss... is anything out of the realm of possibility.

What wasn't plausible was Jordan not feeling an ounce of scared while around the mafia and the mafia boss. What wasn't plausible was Jordan speaking up and making a room full of people he just met, speak to him in English because he feels it is disrespectful to speak in their native tongue in their native land. LIKE WTF. AND they did! That was bullshit. Please don't go to another country and force yourself on people. People do not have to speak YOUR language in THEIR country. It was cringe and a turn-off.
Jordan just felt way more privileged and entitled than I thought should be afforded to him.

I do think the kidnapping should have been an opportunity to get much closer and although the two did get closer it still felt incomplete when they were out of the situation. It didn't feel like it was enough to get to where they were in the story.

I'm now reading book 14 in the series and Jordan's brother is giving this overly important vibe as well. It's one thing to be confident and believe in yourself but it's another to think you are the universes' gift to humanity.

absolutely ridiculous

Sigh.

50%. That's how much of this book was spent on “should I or should I not?” 50%. The sex scenes were good. The plot was resolved in less than 50%. FIFTY PERCENT!

Let's discuss what worked:
Damieno or whatever his name is. Signor Bond is what he is. Fucking hell that shootout scene was like a cartoon scene. The characters lacked depth. Wait I'm supposed to be discussing what worked. The sex. That's all. Now let's return to the characters. I know this series is called straight guys, but I usually don't enjoy reading GFY and such nonsense. Bi awakening, sure. GFY, nah fam. Why did I read this then? Well the premise seemed interesting, and I thought there would be a mystery and all that. Obviously there wasn't.

Also Mr Jordan with I like cocks, I like cocks as much as I like boobs, but lordy I am straight as fuck. The straightest man you'll ever meet. Give me a break.

I also don't like the romanticization of the Mafia. Yes again I read this book's premise. Doesn't mean I can't dislike it. Ooh so badass ooh literally murders people for a living ooh so sexy.

This is book 13. I knew immediately that Nate and what's his name were in a previous book. And I knew Aiden (Aidan?) would be the next book. I don't super like these kinds of series. I mean, I don't super mind them either, and I might try another book later. I'll probably enjoy it more knowing what to expect.

Very cringe dialogue sometimes too.
