DNF at 10%.
I've read Friction by Sandra Brown earlier and loved it, so I was really looking forward to reading this one. I was well aware that Brown's novels had steamy scenes in them, but in Friction, the scenes went well with the story. But this book was way too much and the sexual tension shown between the 2 main leads in the first 10% of the book made me feel so awkward that I simply couldn't go further.
The writing felt off too and it was more tell than show. On top of all this, the snide remarks of the protagonist were way too much for me.
This book felt more like an overly sexed up New Adult rather than a Thriller. Or at least that's how I felt.
If you don't mind reading this kind of content then you might actually like this book. I don't usually have trouble reading normal sexy stuff (seriously, who does?!), but it's just that I was hoping to read a really good Thriller and really high expectations from this one.
