Not That Kind of Guy

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I tried, I really tried because I thought this was one I was going to love. It isn't often we get a book with the male lead as the not in the position of power. The synopsis also made him seem super sweet and not macho alpha – I mean, this at least is true. 

Look, I'll take some fault with not liking this one. I swear the synopsis changed from when I saw it– had I saw Vegas and “put a ring on it” I would have run away. I don't like that trope because all the decisions that follow aren't usually logical which made it even worse here since they are supposed to be so smart! On the topic of the characters, let me say I couldn't pin down their personalities since they seemed to change some times or at least their actions made them seem different. And Matt is still put in power because – surprise!– he is ridiculously rich and his parents put out a grant that Bridget wants to earn. 

So... after Vegas I realized I was hate-reading the book– reading it only to complain about their actions, their weird conversations that felt like they were having two different conversations at once that required them to have the same conversation later! It was a bizarre read. 

Anyhow, this author is definitely not for me.
