BOOK REVIEW: Carter Reed by Tijan

Carter Reed by Tijan
Genres: Contemporary Romance, Romantic Suspense
Publication Date: Sept 28, 2013
My Rating: ♥♥♥
Emma decided to skip the gym and went home early. It was the last easy decision she made because she found her roommate being raped by the boyfriend. 

She had two choices. Call the cops and be killed by his family’s mafia connections or kill him first and hope to survive. There was no choice to her. She killed the bastard first and went to the one person who could protect her. 

Carter Reed. He’s a weapon for the rivaling mafia family, but he’s also Emma’s secret. Not only was he best friends with her brother, but she’s the reason he became that weapon in the first place.


My Thoughts

Good lord! I'm ready to shred my panties for CARTER REED! 


I was so excited to read this book!! First few chapters were engaging and I told myself..  
"wow.. this book is the shit!" But half way through the story it went down hill.. I was debating myself to either skim some pages or just drop this thing off my kindle!

The plot was interesting, love the mafia gangsta going on in the story. It has the right amount of sexiness, action, suspense and drama. In fact, everything was great, Carter Reed is an amazing character. The way the author describe him almost had me on a verge of orgasm! He's dangerous and sexy. He doesn't talk much but when he does it was a toe curling moments for me.

Emma... Gahhh! I hate her. Yep. You read it right. I use the word hate. You see, I've read so many stupid/annoying/doormat heroines in my reading life but never felt this kind of hatred towards a heroine. I love reading damsel in distress heroines but Emma was beyond annoying! She's selfish, dramatic, constantly whining and everything sets her off. I felt sorry for her but throughout the book I ended up hating her. I was waiting for her to at least redeem herself or something.. like ANYTHING. But heck 60% of the story I was wishing for her to just fuckin' die! In my opinion Emma ruined this book.. seriously. :/
The supporting characters were.. bland. The story wasn't flawless and drag a little bit. It was choppy and most of the time it didn't make sense to me. I wish it had more action, suspense and Carter moments coz really.. the only good thing about this book is him.

Oh just wondering... What do you do when some mafia gang are looking for you?
Ah... you go clubbing and get drunk with friends!

Sorry couldn't help it.. I just find the story a little unbelievable.

Overall it was an okay read.. it was enjoyable but most of the time I was frustrated. I was really looking forward to this book and put up a high expectation but sadly it came up short.

I'm giving this 3 stars and that is mainly because of Carter Reed!

Btw.. if killing one mafia member will get me a Carter Reed.. then fuck it.. I'll be happy to kill one. :D

About the Author
Hello~ (waves)

I didn't begin writing until after undergraduate college. There'd been storylines and characters in my head all my life, but it came to a boiling point one day and I HAD to get them out of me. So the computer was booted up and I FINALLY felt it click. Writing is what I needed to do. After that, I had to teach myself how to write. 

I can't blame my teachers for not teaching me all those years in school. It was my fault. I was one of the students that was wishing I was anywhere but at school! So after that day, it took me lots of work until I was able to put together something that resembled a novel. I'm hoping I got it right since someone must be reading this profile! And I hope you keep enjoying my future stories.
