Ava works at a tattoo shop with a mouthy arrogant boss—and though I like men with a
little attitude in my books, Roman’s attitude toed the line of disrespectful a little too
closely. Let’s be real, he crossed the line—and had no intention of turning back.
With pick up lines that shouldn’t work on anyone, he pulled Ava into a work relationship
she didn’t really want. Good looks and good D won her over. While that’s far from
unrealistic it was just a bit much for me.
Everything happened so fast, the lingo felt dated and Roman was an asshole who deemed
her unladylike due to her smoking habit—which is a bad habit obviously but his position
felt more like an attack than an observation from a man who claims to be “feeling her.”
Not to mention his stances were critical and not in a way that would tempt even the
“baddest” of girls. Mentions of her lips looking ready to suck a penis, and the mention of
them being a God-given penis sucking machine rubbed me every way but right.
With more time, time to let the reader come to grips with the budding relationship, time to
allow the reader to understand Ava’s tough lifestyle—and just more development would
have
made this serial-style novelette more appealing.
BOOK TWO
Book two was better. However, it maintained the same lack of depth and meaningless,
passionless sex that we encountered in book one.
Though the writing seemed to catch up to what was expected, the characters seemed clueless to the other’s needs which resulted in a lot of sex that only served to cover the many issues that lurked beneath
the surface of
their relationship not relationship
.
There’s a lack of respect from Roman towards Ava—the argument about not using condoms made me cringe and would send any woman with an iota of common sense running for the hills.
This book would have better served its purpose as one lengthy novel—but if sex on
repeat and dramatic climactic-less endings are your thing, Cocoa butter kisses will satisfy
your every need.
Sorry this didn't work for you. Going to be a pass from me. Great review.
