When the anxious and timid actress Chloe Everett turns up to audition for a minor movie role, it's just another nerve-wracking day. For the quiet and darkly handsome producer Daniel Grant however, it's an unspoken opportunity. Beset by the nerves that have plagued her since childhood, Chloe agrees to one more audition, alone with the billionaire movie magnate... This steamy 17,500 word novelette is the first installment of Ashley Spector's thrilling erotic romance series, The Girl Who Can't Say No. Intended for an adult audience, this enthralling tale follows a dark and secretive billionaire, who absolutely must have his own way; a timid and naive young actress, desperate to break out of her shell, and a deluge of juicy, domineering sex sce...
This Contemporary give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Watered down 50 shades
This author gets credit for correct grammar and punctuation but this story has been told and re-told ad nauseam. Read Sylvia Day's trilogy if this is your genre. For a free book, it was okay. I am getting very sick of authors writing a "short story" but you really have to purchase a bunch of other books to get the beginning, middle, and an ending.
This author does have a writing style that I enjoy but a few times it wandered off into left field with descriptions and then sharply jumped right back into the story.
The characters were a little flat and one dimensional. Although it was explained that Chloe hopes that using acting will help her overcome her anxiety; it wasn't at all believable. The anxiety bordered on ridiculous as well as the fact that a 22 year old virgin would lose her virginity to someone she spoke to for 5 minutes. I think it can be done in a book and be believed, this just wasn't it.
Next, I am so sick of the billionaire being taken...
2. No good
A waste of time to download ..took me longer to download it than it did to read it. Plot was boring and pretty much the story itself was non existant. I was disappointed
Need more appointment... ?
My Two Cents Worth
I do not enjoy giving extremely harsh reviews but sometimes I feel duty-bound to, especially when it is blatantly apparent that the writer in question is out to make a quick buck by peddling dung disguised in a pretty wrapper. (I am referring of course to the installment scheme)
I honestly did not enjoy this novella at all. It started out well enough, barring the grammatical errors and the numerous misspellings, but by the 30% mark I found myself scanning over pages and grinding my teeth. The 'lowly, virgin submissive meets gorgeous, demanding billionaire with deviant sexual inclinations and embarks on a life-changing adventure' has been done too many times before. What's more, it has been done by better storytellers in possession a superior and less contrived grasp of the English language.
This tale fell flat mainly because of the uninspired direction. There was no mystery, no real conflict, not an inkling of personality.
My advice to the potential...
