What Are You Reading?

The new Pamela Clare won out, I'm back in Scarlet Springs! Bound to Fall (Colorado High Country #10) And yes, it will probably trigger some rereading! Several in those that I really love! I like them all, but some, really, really love!

I was reading an R.S Gray book, brand new just came out on June 2nd actually and I returned the the d*mn*d book. The Zero is a professor and the naïve heroine is taking his class.
Why did I drop this as fast as I did? Well, the "H" was so into the h that once she became his student he took it upon himself to pick on her, and place her by his desk in the class while many students in his class were skipping their actual class because they found him so hot instead of kicking one of them out, he decided his lower brain would do the talking and thinking for him. While the brain on top of his neck (less than pea size one in my opinion) thought it was unfair (after the fact) to basically blame her for not showing up on time (literally every girl in that class was running into that room the moment the doors were opened and stealing a seat from registered students)

He berates himself over his reaction to her but can't help but act like a 4 year old who doesn't know what those feelings are and how to act upon them, and the heroine (doormat) just takes it and allows him to get quite close to her when they meet in a bar when she turns 21, and while he looks her up he learns she's dropped his class like he told her to and then realized that the stuff that happened wasn't in her control, but since he just could not take being near her and NOT ACT on his desires for her it was in his mind for the best.

I honestly got really mad at that, because you can't handle something the innocent party has to pay for your bs? No, just no, that type of hero is not for me, fictional or not he was a dirtbag and the doormat deserved so much better than that bag of dog turd left out in the blistering summer heatwave. I was close to half way (trying to finish it. pushing myself to find something worth it in the book) when I said to myself, nope return and give me my money back. There's better books out there that deserve my attention.

I usually enjoy this author's books, a little silly and immature but they are fun to read after something heavy, work material has been my reading material for the week so far and assumed this one would be like the author's other books. oh how wrong I was...

Rant over, going off to read this monster anthology, since aliens worked for me last month maybe June will be all about the monsters?! wish me luck.

linviolet I have enjoyed a few by R S Grey but there have also been a few duds especially more recently, when I read the blurb for My Professor I thought it sounded weird, glad you have confirmed my gut feeling that this book was not for me.

Glad to be of help, too many books out there to read something that just doesn't sit right.

Wow! That's a blast from the past! I haven't read her books in many, many years. As a matter of fact I was trying to remember her name a few nights ago. I also enjoyed the Tallchief series. I took a box of her books to the Salvation Army a few years ago so no rereads for me.

So now I just finished Caroline Linden's All the Duke I Need, which I thought was a lovely romance.  The hero and heroine were both interesting personalities and well-matched.  There were also great secondary characters. Linden has come out with a second epilogue as the ending of this book didn't answer many readers' questions about this and other books in the series.  I haven't read that yet.
