Tempting the Beast by Lora Leigh
DNF 40%.
*sigh* the past couple of days i have been on the hunt for more PNR authors to read, and have found nothing but disappointment.
so, this one... the hero almost makes me want to keep reading. however, the heroine is out-of-this-world annoying.
she is the worst kind of journalist. she only cares about getting a story to publish and not about how she affects the people she stalks. she is asked to leave by the hero probably a dozen times in the first ~20% and she reacts by basically begging him to fuck her, like take a fucking hint??
i thought this series would be a bit like laurann dohner's new species series but the heroine keeps calling the hero mean names that reference how he was created, even though she knows his life has been a living hell because he'd been an experiment in a lab for years. why does she think it's okay to ridicule him for that ? in the new species series that would result in her getting banned from ever talking to another one of their kind, and probably some other sort of legal retaliation.
the last straw, though? what made me stop reading? when she tells him he's just as bad as the people HUNTING HIM because he retaliates against them. oh, fucking spare me.
