50/50 Friday - Best / Worst Read of December 2019


50/50 Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Carrie @ The Butterfly Reader.

What is 50/50 Friday?
Everyone has a favorite and then we also have something we dislike. Like a coin, there are two sides to every question. Example: best sequel you've read/worst sequel you've read. So that's what 50/50 Friday is all about. Carrie posts a new topic every Friday so be sure to check out her post to see the topic for the following week!


Topic for the Week
Best and Worst Read of December 2019

I read and listened to 17 books in December. Here is one of my favorites and the undisputed worst...

Best

Worst
Why: this novella was basically useless fluff and advertisement for the author's other books. Could have been posted free on the author's website but she decided to make it an ebook and charge 99¢

BLURB
These men are dark, bold, and brave. And there is only one woman who can bring them to their knees...

Famed and brilliant, Lady Alexandra Lane has always known how to look out for to herself. But nobody would ever expect that she has darkness in her past—one that she pays a blackmailer to keep buried. Now, with her family nearing bankruptcy, Alexandra strikes upon a solution: Get married to one of the empire’s most wealthy eligible bachelors. Even if he does have the reputation of a devil.

LOVE TAKES NO PRISONERS

Piers Gedrick Atherton, the Duke of Redmayne, is seeking revenge and the first step is securing a bride. Winning a lady’s hand is not so easy, however, for a man known as the Terror of Torcliff. Then, Alexandra enters his life like a bolt of lightning. When she proposes marriage, Piers knows that, like him, trouble haunts her footsteps. But her gentleness, sharp wit, independent nature, and incredible beauty awakens every fierce desire within him. He will do whatever it takes to keep her safe in his arms.

My Review:
Let me start out by saying I don't usually read books like this because I usually find the genre to be... well a little cheesy. But when the publisher emailed me to offer me an eARC, I thought "oh, why not?" I was in a reading slump and I figured it would be a quick read. 

I can't really say if I enjoyed this one or not. It was, as I expected, cheesy and sort of a brainless read (meaning you get through it without it having much of a plot besides the romance). 

It was just an okay read for me. I'm not sure I'd continue reading the series and I probably should have just said no from the get-go. My apologies. It's just not my cup of tea.

My Rating:
