The Pink Rose - Alicia Roberts

Free on Amzon

Just putting the link up noticed all the bad reviews on Amazon which feels a bit unfair to me, I've read some book that are badly written, put together so you have no idea what's going on and unreadable.
This is like many books I've read, its predictable and fast paced and I can understand why some people don't like them. But would you review an omelet and give it 1 star when you hate eggs anyway.

The Pink Rose follows the story of Max and Amy.
Max is the majority owner of Zetta Corp., rich famous and handsome, you know all that good stuff.
Amy is shy, finds Max attractive but doesn't want to be noticed at work, as she has family links that could put her job at risk, she is a hard worker and would like to own her own accounting firm.
They meet when Max breaks up with Chloe (who liked gifts and fame) Max needs a date for a charity gala and find Amy working late one night and asks her to go with him.

Max at the beginning of the book says he wants a real relationship not for the money and fame, but then goes on about just having fun and not believing in love. He also get jealous instantly when other guys are looking at Amy, this annoys me. The book also repeats things that have just been said, like if they did something he would think about it later and just recall everything that happened rather than just saying I was thinking about earlier.

To me this book reminded me of 50 shades of grey but the short version, I'm not a 50 Shade hater I did like the first book but I did also find parts annoying, like ripping foil, inner goddess, biting lip, oh my (makes my blood boil just thinking about those word) the second book was OK but by the third I was thinking god dam wrap it up already, I get it there both messed up. Anyway I thought about 50 Shades while reading The Pink Rose.

Its a fast paced book and gets to the point quickly I did enjoy this book, and got through in one sitting, the character weren't that well developed but I felt I knew enough about them for this kind of story, if this was going to be a series then yeah you would need to know more but for this book its perfect.

3.5/5
