Series: Mad, Bad, and Dangerous to Love #1
Publication Date: Jun 24, 2013
My Rating: ♥♥♥♥
I had gone to high school with Gabriel Gordon. Despite his heavenly name and matching beauty, Gabriel was anything but angelic. Rich, spoiled, and far too cynical for his age, he could easily charm the skirt off a prim beauty or a young teacher or two. Gabriel Gordon was mad, bad, and ...well, you probably know the rest.
The years hadn't changed him, despite taking over his father's company and expanding it into a multinational corporation. Unfortunately, it was just my luck that I found myself working in Gabriel's building. Although I had managed to avoid him for the better part of a month, a chance encounter in the elevator proved he was still an arrogant man who showed far too much interest in the shape of my mouth and nape of my neck.
From then on, Gabriel bedeviled me, teased me, and more often than not, made me want to throw things at his head. Still, just as in high school, I couldn't help but see the pain behind his lazy grin and the shadows in his crystalline gaze. When Gabriel confessed his love for me, I should have been the happiest woman in the world. Too bad I couldn't believe him...
Emma Adams had always considered herself level-headed, even-tempered, and most of all, sane. So how did she become someone who couldn't seem to push Gabriel Gordon away? No matter how sweet his words could be or how easily passion exploded between them, getting involved with the outrageously wealthy playboy had to be the height of insanity. Given their tumultuous natures and personal demons, there was only way a relationship between them could survive: in madness.
My Thoughts
The book already has a long description so I'm not going to write the whole premise of the story anymore. To be honest, I found this on amazon and bought it mainly because of the cover and the catchy title!
Mad For You is your typical rich bad boy meets shy nerdy girl.. it's nothing that I haven't read yet.
Hot, billionaire, playboy, possessive guy? ✓
Weak, shy heroine? ✓
Bitch, scorned ex-gf? ✓
Seems like a typical story eh? Well, it is... but despite being a cliche book, I actually liked it!
I was hook from the first page and fell in love with Gabriel! I liked his bad boy persona but when it comes to the heroine he was sweet and everything! The confrontation with the ex-gf was interesting and it added spice in the story! ^_^
I was surprised about the "revelation" and can't wait to see how will that progress in the second book! Maybe my tiny bit complaint, is that I wished it had more character development.. it felt like everything was too fast.
Overall I liked it! Will definitely read the next one titled BAD FOR YOU.
