Seven Years Of Bad Luck (2000) - Plot & Excerpts

Ok for starters I'll admit that I didn't finish this book, and since this is the 2nd book iv struggled to finish by this author, I have come to the conclusion that this authors writing is just not my cup of tea. I'm kind of gutted by this realisation, as both times iv really enjoyed the beginning of the story's, to the point I couldn't put them down and then about half way through (both times) they go from being really good to... Well the only word I can think of is annoying, sorry but that's how I feel. My main problem was with how the male and female leads interacted, now I like alpha males who are demanding and take charge, but I do think there needs to be some familiarity and relationship building first (a girl has to feel something for a guy before she allows him to order her about and plant himself in her life) the male in this story acted to familiar to soon in my opinion. The female lead (who I loved in the beginning) was ment to be growing into the strong independent woman she used to be, that's all her inner thoughts were about and the reason she didn't want to get emotionally involved, yet practically from the start the male demanded something and she was like "ok" when I'd be more like "how dare you think you can order me about, you don't even know me" she had a couple comebacks in the first couple meetings but then after that nothing, well there wasn't up to the point I read anyway. Then it all became to cliche in the domineering department, but even the cliche parts were to soon ie filling his closet with new clothes for her after the very first night she spent with him..... Is it just me or does his domineering ways come across as creepy? It was all to much to soon. Maybe with less inner monologue from the female and more relationship building (before he try's to take over her life) then this could of been a very good & enjoyable read. I was lucky to get this book as an ARC from a blog tour. I had heard of this author as I have some of her books, but just not got around to reading them yet. So I thought this was a good chance for me to get introduced to J L Mac. After reading the blurb, I was taken by it. But I don't think the blurb gives the book justice, its much more than what it says and at times, things were not as they seem, especially 3/4 of the way through the book, it got exciting!!I wasn't expecting the twist at the end. I was so taken with Ben and how he was so demanding of her, in control, and she weak at the knees just by his smell, that I failed to see what was coming! WOW, loved it! It really picked up a pace for me. I thought it was like a love story, Ben comes upon the scene, she falls in lust, then in love, but WOW, this is not a straight forward romance. YOU WILL LOVE IT guys, I know I did! I am so glad I was on this Blog Tour or I would have missed this!
