Boston's debauched elite is going up in flames, and it's the Fitzpatrick family that set it on fire.



Hunter

I didn’t mean to star in a sex tape, okay?
It was just one of those unexplainable things. Like Stonehenge, Police Academy 2, and morning glory clouds.
It just happened.
Now my ball-busting father is sentencing me to six months of celibacy, sobriety, and morbid boredom under the roof of Boston’s nerdiest girl alive, Sailor Brennan.
The virginal archer is supposed to babysit my ass while I learn to take my place in Royal Pipelines, my family’s oil company.
Little does she know, that’s not the only pipe I’ll be laying…

Sailor
I didn’t want this gig, okay?
But the deal was too sweet to walk away from.
I needed the public endorsement; Hunter needed a nanny.
Besides, what’s six months in the grand scheme of things?
It’s not like I’m in danger of falling in love with the appallingly gorgeous, charismatic gazillionaire who happens to be one of Boston’s most eligible bachelors.
No. I will remain immune to Hunter Fitzpatrick’s charm.
Even at the cost of losing everything I have.
Even at the cost of burning down his kingdom.

You know what?! ABSOLUTELY NOT. Nope. Stopped reading at 69 % (ironically) because I couldn't take it anymore. I was pushing myself through the book, terribly wishing for it to get better, but it only gets worse. And to think I couldn't wait to read this book!

Oh, God. I can't. I absolutely hate Hunter. He's not hot, he's not sexy, he's rather annoying, disgusting and has absolutely no personality, whatsoever. 

I was struggling to read on from the first chapter because I was hoping it'd just get better and that maybe Hunter will start showing more of his (normal) personality. Nope. Didn't happen. 

And then Sailor showed up and I hoped (prayed!) that Hunter will change a little (just a little, please), but he was being an egoistic asshole with such an ugly personality that I just couldn't. take. it. anymore. 

This book is basically 3/4 of the time about Hunter talking about sex and just being a disgusting pig about it. Seriously. Probably the worst male POV I've EVER read. But noooo, he didn't want to have sex with Sailor (even though he was all about putting it in every hole he could), because he didn't like her appearance and thought she looked like a boy. Seriously. I'm not joking. 

I. Am. Disgusted. Appalled. I want to burn this book and erase it from my memory. 

And the sentence that finally made me snap and made me put down my kindle and just breathe for a few seconds:

❝"Swear to God, Sailor, I will fuck your mouth so hard you'll lose teeth if you disobey."❞

GOOD-FUCKING-BYE.
