Beneath This Ink (Beneath #2) [Con & Vanessa] by Meghan March

This book is everything I WON'T accept not only in a romance novel but in real life. The behavior of two men in this book - Con, the MC (!) and Lucas who is going to be the MC in the 4th installment is UNACCEPTABLE unless they are planning to serve time for it. I'm SO MAD right now I want to vomit. This is an ABSOLUTE DNF at 27% and I had to made myself get there let me tell you. It just got worse by the minute.

I understand "Alpha Man", I understand "Bossy" I DON'T UNDERSTAND - Manhandling when the woman is CLEARLY uncomfortable and distressed, blackmailing her to date you - officially and unofficially, planning to hurt another man for looking at a woman who won't even like you. Propositioning a woman like a whore (in his own words) and making her do things she is VERY uncomfortable with just because your mind is set on YOUR agenda. Would you believe me that ALL of the above happened withing a quarter of the book by the "hero" against Vanessa our heroine? Would you believe me there is actually ANOTHER GUY who behaved as badly toward her? and is going to be a "hero" in another book?

I rarely react the way I do now toward a book. I understand clearly that taste in men vary. It's actually great. But abusive behavior IS abusive behavior and should NEVER be excused or promoted. NEVER.

Beneath This Mask (Beneath #1) [Charlie & Simon] by Meghan March

Really enjoyed this one. It was quite an angsty ride, maybe because it's been a while since I've read New Adult. Yet I can't fault it for what it was considering the situation our main character was in. Trust is such a fragile sentiment, especially when you know so little about the person you are falling in love with.

Charlotte Agoston's life on the outside was perfect for her first 22 years. VERY rich family, she had it all. Yet she didn't exactly had a mind of her own with her demanding parents. She did what she was expected. Her life changed when her father is found guilty of stealing BILLIONS of dollars and as the money itself was never found, he is sentenced to eons in jail and she runs for her life not to become an accomplish to his foul deeds.
