Dubious (The Loan Shark Duet, #1)
by
One night, while laying in bed scanning Instagram, I came across an ad for an author/book I've never heard of before. I don't know what exactly got my attention in that ad [it might have been the cover image actually] but off I went to Amazon to see if the book was available for sale, ended up one-clicking it then stayed up till almost 2am reading because I simply couldn't put it down!
That's the story of how I found and fell in love with Charmaine Pauls' Loan Shark Duet. I still can't put my finger on what exactly made me love this duet this much but love it I did! Everything about it made for an unputdownable read. I am absolutely head over heels in love with both, Valentina and Gabriel. Not to mention, the entire supporting cast and, of course, the minute I realized there is a substantial age-gap between main characters, I was a goner!
Needless to say, when this book ended in a cliffy, I did the unthinkable - I requested an ARC of the second installment because I HAD to know what happens next and I had to know IMMEDIATELY!
You can find my review of CONSENT, the conclusion of this duet, here .
If you enjoy well written reads that have an element of suspense to them, tread a bit on a darker side and have a plot that's fast moving, you just might enjoy this duet very much.
Cheers!
