Mister Moneybags

Mister Moneybags - Penelope Ward, Vi Keeland A man meets a woman in an elevator malfunction. Side note: SO MANY ELEVATOR MALFUNCTIONS and yet I've never been trapped with a honey in an elevator...Moving on. A case of secret identity from the hero for fear of being judged by a woman he find irresistible. She has anxiety, he's smooth and straightforward and doesn't blink in helping her through it. The beginning of the novel is a lot of him going to great lengths to make her interested in the real him. It's actually pretty sweet even though he's been lying his booty off The first conflict resolves quite quickly and I wondered why at 50% it seemed, well, over.

SCREECHING HALT:
These two could be siblings. Of course they aren't, or this would be a terrible book, but why interrupt the rhythm of a growing and fledgling relationship for this madness? I mean what the what. I could've quit reading here andI don't think the book nor the relationship nor the characters nor my life is richer for the second half. No thanks. I can't believe I can actually muster two stars for it.

I also couldn't shake this didn't seem as well written as their prior partnerships, but part of me wonders if it's cause i'm actually more of a vi Keeland fan than Ward fan and I'm getting confused...
