My Rating 4/5
From the New York Times Bestselling authors of Cocky Bastard, comes a sexy new standalone novel.
It started out like any other morning on the train.
Until I became mesmerized by the guy sitting across the aisle.
He was barking at someone on his phone like he ruled the world.
Who did the stuck-up suit think he was…God?
Actually, he looked like a God. That was about it.
When his stop came, he got up suddenly and left. So suddenly, he dropped his phone on the way out.
I might have pi…
Liezel’s Thoughts:
From the very moment Graham caught Soraya’s interest, I couldn’t put this book down. Their chance encounter was certainly noteworthy but what was the icing on the cake was waiting to see just how spectacular their inevitable meeting was going to unfold. Needless to say, the angst in this book was magnificent.
Another thing that I appreciated was how the authors were able to prove me wrong. There was one point where I did agree with a third-party when mentioned that Soraya and Graham didn’t make sense at all. It was obvious that they were too different – different upbringing, different lifestyles, different stages in their lives, but in this case “different” wasn’t such a bad thing. If anything it made them that much more interesting.
I thought they were good for each other. Were they perfect? Nope. Yet this was what made them real. The character building, especially on Graham’s part, was fantastic. The book title certainly didn’t do him justice. He was misunderstood. He just needed a gentle push in the right way and I am glad someone like Soraya was able to provide that for him.
There were so many aspects of “Stuck-Up Suit” book that I loved. I adored each and one of the characters, even the secondary ones. I appreciate the book for its entertainment value. I loved that it felt fresh and new, it was also fun and flirty yet had an equal amount of seriousness too.
I do have to say that of all the authors collaborating lately, the stories written by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward are by far my favorite. They just have this remarkable way of catching my attention and holding it until “The End”. I can not wait to see what these two come up with next!
