★★☆☆☆
Jude and Sophie
If you’re looking for an arrogant playboy you found him. I was so excited for this one for about the first third of the book. It was sexy and exciting and an interesting meet cute. Then you quickly realize the hero is just looking for a good time and the heroine who clearly lacks in the self confidence and self respect department continues to go back for more. There is nothing more than sex between them for most of the book. He bails on her before the sun comes up twice and she’s clearly upset by it. Unfortunately instead of moving on she just continues to look desperate going back for more of the same. I will say this “hero” doesn’t pretend he’s anything other than a good time so I can’t really blame him. “She’s begging to be toyed with, and I aim to please.” “Why am I even thinking of her right now? Because you want to have more fun with her.” “I can’t go along with acting like this is more than it is. It’s not my style. Jude Winslow will never be attached to anybody.” Any hero that refers to himself in the third person just comes across as a joke to me. It comes down to this just not being a book for me. The writing is actually great. It’s funny and quick witted. Unfortunately I like a hero who finds his woman and goes after her with everything he’s got. I don’t like head games and a hero thinking women are easily replaceable. It took him almost 90% in to realize he was in love. By this point I didn’t even care.
