What do You think about Bad Taste In Men (2014)?
4 Butterflies! My full review is here: http://shattering-words.blogspot.com/...Well,well,well... I can't believe that I finally review Shane's story....after Ryan (my review is here) and Travis, we finally can hear Shane's voice, even more so because he's so shy and quiet, and sweet....Like I said, Shane is very different from his brothers, because while he's introvertit, Travis is hotness incarnated, he's also a little crazy, on the other hand, Ryan is the mature and serious one, so I was a little anxious about his character, and I'll admit I had my doubts about his alpha side, but in the same time I was anxious to find out his story and it was a mind-blowing, genious reading, guys!Seriously, run, don't walk to the first store you find and get your copy right freaking now!

DNFI got to around 38% before I realized that I wasn't obligated to finish this book so I cut my losses and found something else. I only started Bad Taste in Men because I made it through the prior book and was too lazy to find another. The heroine, Rachel, is really hard work as the British say. She has a very difficult personality, which doesn't stop the hero, Shane, from chasing her. He has been her best friend since the woman in the first book got married. Shane is explicit about wanting to have a romantic relationship and she tells him she doesn't see him that way and shuts him down every time he makes a move. Rachel fixes him up with her employee and then gets mad at him when he doesn't read her mind and see that she's vaguely jealous.Eventually, Shane sells the classic car that's been in his family for three generations to get Rachel the money to gamble on saving her failing business. For about a second she wonders if it's ethical to accept his offer to invest in her business since she knows that Shane wants more from her than friendship, but then decides that since she needs the money, it's ethical. She has several amazing, passionate, life changing kisses with him and shuts him down each time despite being an active participant. I've terminated friendships in real life because I was disgusted by women who lead men on even though they're not interested. It's cruel and self centered. Obviously, since this is a romance there was going to be an HEA, but Rachel just took to much energy to enjoy and sucked the life out of the book. The last book went on this way for 90% of the book and I wasn't going to wait that long.

The only problem is the bank has turned her down for a loan. Just when it looks like her dreams are shot her best friend Shane offers to help her by becoming her partner. Shane is in love with Rachel and doesn't think she will ever overcome the just friends. Having a partnership will have them close together and Shane hope to help her get over that and become more. Rachel has had bad taste in men before and not looking to ruin what they have she tries to push him off on others. When she sees what all Shane has done for her and given up she may change her mind. Rachel is very, very stubborn. She doesn't like to listen to others even when they know best. She has ave her heart away before and they all turned out bad. She is a great friend and will help in any way she can. She is just afraid of love. Shane is sweet, caring and also very stubborn. He will move mountains to give Rachel what she wants. They both are great friends and you can tell they clearly belong together. This is the second book in this series I have read and I enjoyed it so much. I really enjoyed seeing Rachel and Shane butt heads. Both want things t be a success but Rachel thinks she can do everything herself. Shane tries not to push her but he thinks he knows what is best. Both should take the time to listen to each other but it wouldn't be as entertaining as it was. I liked seeing all the characters I already knew and seeing new ones. Some I liked and some I have to say seemed a little off to me. This is a book that is a page turner and leaves you wanting more. It has friendship, family, love and even some steaminess that made it a joy to read!
