Review: DARK MCKENNA, A Billionaire Dark Romance

DARK MCKENNA, A Billionaire Dark Romance by Shayne Ford
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Ah, the usual steamy romance with no paved road of continuity of a novel.

The novel starts like this:

We meet the main heroine, a girl who has no home, no luxury or basic necessities to live a normal life.

After almost 3 chapters we figure out that she's a prostitute.

I don't even know why the author didn't start with the fact that she is a prostitute from the beginning.

Next comes the bad guy but still our hero who coincidentally becomes her next "client".

They have a steamy encounter, then they don't meet again for some time.

After a few weeks, he again shows up, "coincidentally" showing up and rescuing her from a group of goons (also his staff).

They again have some steaming chemistry, then he again leaves her for a while.

AGAIN after a few weeks, he meets with her, and you know the drill.

But this time he sticks with her, showing her his soft side, pushing back his rough exterior.

But you know what happens next?

Please do guess!

HE LEAVES AGAIN!

Brilliant.

Then when our main heroine shows up for her job, guess who's also there?

Guess,

Guess,

Guess!

That is absolutely right, it's our main bad guy, the mysterious hero.

She gets shocked seeing him (because who wouldn't) and then just damns him to hell as she goes out of his office (persuaded before by the hero's secretary).

This should be the end right? I mean he just pretty much ruined whatever they had right? Their relationship should have been finished for now, and continued (possibly) in the next book.

But NO!

That is simply not done.

Because he then comes back to her house, they start their sizzling scene and all is forgiven.

No explanation, no reasoning, no nothing! Simply a steamy scene smooths out all the scattered bullcrap.

And then, from our main heroine's past, we see a very old guy (even older than the hero himself) who comes chasing after her (because she chose to be with him to help her mother).

Darling, there are so many other ways to help someone, other than selling yourself short.

But I digress.

And then our hero bursts in and rescues the main gal and they live somewhat of a happy ever-after.

YAY! (Not).

Why am I summarising?

Because that is literally most of the book.

Steamy scenes, hard pasts, and dark cars.

No logic, no explanation, no nothing.

So is it worth reading it?

Nope.

Will I continue this series?

Certainly not.

Hope you all enjoyed my review.
