RESUME
Jessica Conway
is at the end of her rope. She desperately needs a few things that her moral
values can't buy: food, shelter, a chance for a better life. Connor Montgomery
is tortured with guilt from the past and wants only one thing from Jessica,
something he's very willing to pay her for. Setting her up as his mistress
seems like the perfect idea. But how long can a situation continue that was a
mistake from the very beginning?
IN MY OWN WORDS
Jessica is
trying to get herself through college but thanks to her mother, cannot get the
money any other way then making the Dean’s list. Unfortunately, her last semester was a
disaster. She has to find a solution and
fast! Her “solution” is shaped like
Adonis himself. Combined with the warmth
on a statue to boot. It’s her last
resort so she steppes on her principles and make due with it, becoming a paid
mistress. Will Connor warm up enough to
see the gem that stands right in front of him?
MY REVIEW
I will start by
saying that the book comes with a warning; it is NOT a regular hot love affair,
far from it. It may even hurt the
sensibility of the romantic souls out there.
Weirdly enough, when you take a step away from romance, you are walking towards
reality. Which is probably why this book
really disappointed me.
Connor is cold,
selfish and domineering. Jessica tries
really hard, in her own head, to stand her ground but is just a big noodle in
her actions. The story lacked warmth
altogether in my opinion and the sex was really REALLY blah.
I stood on the
outside of their story like a stranger looking in the whole time, whishing
there would be something, ANYTHING that would get my blood pumping.
For once, I
just can’t put my finger on the reason why I just didn’t get hooked, other than
the lack of passion between the characters.
Combined with inconsistency between what they are thinking and how they
are acting from page to page, it lost me completely.
It’s sad really
– And I’m so confused; I will normally look for a story as close to reality as
possible. I understand authors who like
to deliver this kind of reality have to walk a fine line in order to keep the
passion going. Unfortunately, The
Mistress Mistake is just a little too “real” for my taste.
That being
said, I look forward to Lynda Chance’s next story. And I would really REALLY like to find her in
the social media sphere!
MY CLASSIFICATION
Type: Contemporary Romance – Although, really, the romance is kinda missing.
Keyword: Domineering
hero, virgin heroin
Intimacy: Blah. Really blah.
Intimacy: Blah. Really blah.
MY RATING
I gave it a 2 stars and I
sincerely hope it will be my last one from this author whom I simply adore!
