⚡️ Blackmailed
TW : blackmailed, mention of abuse…
When Ali’s ex-boyfriend starts to blackmail her with a sexe tape he filmed without her knowing, she doesn’t have a clue what she could do. He’s asking her something impossible : seducing her boss in order to get an invitation at a celebrity wedding. Her ex doesn’t know that she has been having a huge crush on her boss and that He couldn’t possibly want her back… Does he ?
This book has most of everything to make a great romance : two great characters, an obvious attraction, office romance, awesome group of friends, a wedding setting, a lot of drama…. And still, with all that, I didn’t think it was that good. I don’t like to criticize a book too much, but I can’t really help myself with this one. I didn’t hate it, but I didn’t like it either…
Beware of spoilers : (and not too nice things unfortunately)
I didn’t like the blackmailed/linked sextape drama. At the beginning it’s supposed to be a secret, but everyone ends up knowing ? And nobody can stop it ? I am not specialized at all in that sort of thing, but usually when this situation happens, you actually keep it to yourself because you’re afraid. You don’t go telling everybody. (and let’s not talk about all the rich friends Ali has, but none of them are capable of doing anything with the police)
I also didn’t really like Christopher and Ali’s relationship… I didn’t feel any chemistry between them, and I swear, I’m a romantic, I’m usually seeing chemistry EVERYWHERE. I think I would have like Ali to really seduce him (secretly), him slowly falling in love with her while she’s lying to him, and then the big drama/revelation happening !
Twisted Hate had a similar synopsys I think, but the blackmailed sex tape was so much better and also created so much more drama !
Again, I’m really sorry about this review. I don’t like to leave bad reviews about books but I’m trying to be honest, and it was really cringey for me….
I got this book as an ARC from Netgalley and the publisher.
