Yvonne's Reviews > Wight Mischief

This was a mishmash of bad, good and annoying. Will goes on a vacation trip with his BFF and what the blurb describe as a friend with benefits. Let's be clear, it's more like a friend with one sided benefit. As in, Baz is basically a straight asshole who uses Will to occasionally get off when there's no females around and he doesn't reciprocate if you know what I mean. When that's not happening, Baz spends the time putting Will down for not being the intellectual giant the imagines he is.

Now this is not the main couple in the story, but we spend way too much time with Baz. Will finds himself fascinated by another author, Marcus who has a mysterious past and some interesting characteristics. This Marcus also has someone who basically dominates his life and pushes him around. So there we have it, our romantic pair are both people who've allowed someone to use them for years--not attractive qualities at all.

The best part of the book is when Will & Baz finally grow a pair, but as this happens fairly late in the book it's almost too little too late. And I really don't understand some of Marcus' action as well(view spoiler)[his unwillingness to clear his own father's name because it's too much trouble makes him seem weak and pathetic (hide spoiler)]Will, who is a very sweet character, and Marcus does have some nice moments together. I'm not sure why though the author chose to give them the shaft in terms of time in this book. If you're selling a romance story, then the main couple needs to be in the majority of the book. Disappointing.
