Pretty Woman 2020 Style

I always go back to books that are my happy place when I don’t know what to read. Stylo Fantome you are so my happy place. I loved this book so much that I don’t really have words for it. Valentine O'Dell was your definition of hard-working beautiful girl that does anything she can to make ends meet for her and her grandma. Ari Sharapov is your typical Alpha Male and I am here for it! He is wealthy, cold and determined. He works at a job that he doesn't particularly like to be worthy of taking over his father's law firm - a father he doesn't especially like either. When he meets Valentine, something clicks and he knows he's found the one to fit his needs. However, as time goes on, what appeared cut and dried suddenly begins to blur, and he questions what he's willing to give up to have her. This is one of those books that gets you right in the feels. I was taken with St Valentines personality her family dynamic and her personality that shines in the night. Ari was the Asshat you couldn’t hate but you wanted to and in true fashion we are left with our hearts on the floor needing more. I see that people have compared this to the Kane Trilogy and the only thing that would make this like that is if there was another book, Otherwise I think that this book or duet of books has it’s own kind of dark sexy magic. Now if you haven’t read any of the Kane books please do yourself a favor and read those books. I loved how they were the Ying and Yang of each other’s personality. Valentine is sugar and spice at the club and then this down to earth girl with Ari while Ari is this take charge personality but yet doesn’t always come across as being comfortable in his own life. I loved this it was one part dark and one part sweet and it left you needing to read book two instantly.

There is a reason that this author is one of my favorites.

When I first started reading for pleasure again as an outlet to taking 20 credits a semester, this author was one of my first I discovered that was outside the realm of books in the literary canon. It didn't matter if I had to give up a precious hour of sleep, I did it gladly in order to submerge myself into the world of Jameson "AKA Satan" Kane and the Degradation series, who incidentally is STILL my number one book boyfriend all these years later, in order to fall down the rabbit hole that is completely owned by this author. No one does what she does in regards to creating the most insufferable bastages and still making me fall in love with them.

If Jameson and Wulfric (another delicious man) were to be merged into one person, it would be Ari. Sweet lord was this man a dichotomy. He was the best part of both of these characters that I have loved but he was also uniquely ARI. And while Valentine was no Tatum (Let's be real here, who could ever match her), she still kept me rooting for and her story. The whole story was reminiscent of Pretty Woman but it was so much more. This author knows how to draw a reader in and it was delightful to watch it unfold. I cannot wait to see how this duet ends in the next book. ( )
