A Ruthless Proposition, by Natasha Anders - Starting April 22nd 2019

[Felicia, Head of Team Quarterly & BOTM]

All that glitters may lead right to his heart…

The last thing Cleopatra Knight expects on her business trip to Tokyo is to fall into bed with her arrogant, irresistibly hot boss, Dante Damaso. It’s a mistake—a steamy, mind-blowingly satisfying mistake. But a few nights of passion with the superwealthy bad boy prove to have long-term effects when Cleo’s world is unexpectedly turned upside down.

Dante has cultivated an enviable, jet-setting lifestyle: beautiful women, exotic destinations, and luxury without limits. He’s not looking to be domesticated, and certainly not by his assistant—even though he can’t get her out of his mind. Still, he knows he has both the responsibility and the financial means to help Cleo.

Though Cleo has no interest in Dante’s money, her lack of prospects gives her little choice but to accept his help. But living under the same roof, Dante discovers he wants more, and if Cleo lets down her guard, she just might find what her heart’s wanted all along.

Chapter 1-3 (view spoiler)[The smut is hot but I'm bored. This is a typical banged my boss and he's being an ass afterwards kind of story. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 4-7 (view spoiler)[Gosh, Dante is such a fucking dick. He seriously makes me want to pull my hair out strand by strand. (hide spoiler)]

Finished (view spoiler)[Boy am I glad that's over! I couldn't get behind the relationship of the MCs. Probably because I would NEVER let a guy speak to me the way that Dante spoke to Cleo. And then for her to just be okay with his fast assed apologies. Eff that. No. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 3 (23%) - (view spoiler)[ OMG, he is such an ass. I still don't understand why she keeps falling back in bed with him. Is hot sex really worth that much demeaning? (hide spoiler)]
Ch 7 (51%) - (view spoiler)[ I am not sure what to feel about Dante becoming interested in the baby. He is still an ass and his behavior is so unattractive. How did Cleo's brother ever become friends with him? (hide spoiler)]
Ch 11 (77%) - (view spoiler)[ I am so conflicted right now. I am irritated that she has fallen for him despite what a truly horrific person he is most of the time. I get that he is slowly changing but I would have a hard time overlooking the past and not wondering how easy it would be for him to fall back on that behavior. At the same time, I am glad that things seem to be changing for the better. Cleo isn't like those other women that only wanted something from Dante. Maybe she can restore his faith in people. (hide spoiler)]
Finished - Not my favorite of Natasha Anders, but it was ok. (view spoiler)[ I'm still wondering what the "Ruthless Proposition" was? I don't even recall a proposition ruthless or otherwise. (hide spoiler)]

Maybe it was that like paper she had to sign? Idk. I didn't much like this one. Lol.
