Dirty Headlines
by L.J. Shen
I read this at a really not right time. While I did read the entire story and found parts of it pretty hot, I've decided I'm really not in the mood for stories involving billionaire bad boy alphaholes who get to use their power and position to have everything they want, consequences be damned.
SPOILERS AHEAD.
I felt extremely squicky when the hero and heroine fuck during a fundraiser/benefit for the #metoo movement. Sure it is consensual, but they are definitely boss/employee and the hero's motives are to show his father (HIS boss) that the heroine is his mistress. Definitely titillating, but why did the benefit have to be #metoo? I felt this was a betrayal of the heroine's character.
I liked Jude's character which is why I read the entire story, but I felt she was inconsistent and too easy on Célian. She deserved a far better grovel. I didn't really believe their love story which had ample time to develop, it just didn't for me.
Also, I find it so tired that Célian's fiancee is portrayed as a "crazy psycho bitch" out to ruin Jude for sleeping with her man, even though she knows she is only a fiancee of convenience. This trope is not really for me.
