review 1: These are short 80 page novellas & are good. I like the character of Drew he's funny & charming, Claire is also funny & charming but she also has a great head on her shoulders when it comes to responsibility & career development. She had a plan & Drew wasn't supposed to be a part of it but he ended up winning her over. They were enjoying their relationship until his father & their boss decided that she wasn't quality material for a wife for Drew. With that he blackmailed Drew into breaking up with her or cost her her internship & future jobs in her field. Dad's a creep, just because Claire came from the foster system she isn't good enough for his society life & family name. The first book has gotten my attention as to what is going to happen in the next ones. Humour, ange... morer & sadness is what book one brought,, bring on book two.
review 2: *spoilery potential*I'm a sucker for romantic-esque books and this was a quick, cute read, done on my commute to work and lunch break. And for a free first instalment was quite decent.Despite a few incorrect spellings here and there and extra quotation marks or commas here and there it was something easy to digest, held my interest, and I will be buying the "book" for $4.99 on Ibooks I actually want to know what happens (even though I "know" what the ending is going to be like, I want to read!) but the "cliffhanger" "ending" (terms used loosely) was predictable and while it worked on me I really do wish she hadn't done that because just reading the blurb of the second "book" gives it away and then it's like what was even the point. I do wish she'd kept their relationship going because I KNOW the vindictive dad will do something evil, leave the threats for when the plot has developed a little further.Felt very "Beautiful Bastard" to me, still a great job and like I said before for a free book is excellent, and I have bought the final "books." Their relationship did feel VERY rushed. She basically fell onto his lap, minimal flirting, or maybe I have just read too many books where the chase takes up so much space. It's like one day she starts her internship the next she's with the boss' son galavanting around town giggling and being stalked. Oh. Of course he owns a club. Again, very BB. Ridiculously hot. Also parental issues.What really does irk me is that authors like this lull you in with a free first instalment then charge for the rest, when they aren't really books in the first place. I don't mind if if I get a whole book for free first, then buying the rest of the series, it will give me a proper picture of the plot and characters and 99% of the time I throw my money at them regardless if it's written well enough then the author would have hooked me in to make me buy. Money making gimmick and I fell for it. This first instalment of one book does not really do that, yet my morbid curiosity will be the death of my savings. Clever marketing money making tool, but when the blurbs give everything away it's really annoying. Before even buying the 2nd instalment I know the outcome and can guess how it all ends...Pretty good for a random free "book" I am pleasantly surprised with this one less
