HUH? (Wanted by Kelly Elliot)




It’s so hard to appreciate a story if you hate the characters so bad.
Ellie was verbally abused by her drunk mom which I think is fresh.  It’s a break from rape and physically abusive relationships.  The presentation of the abuse was just too short that it didn’t make me feel the damage.  Or maybe its short enough but just wasn’t hard or harsh enough to give me that much impact.  I just kept thinking, “duh, get over it already. Just prove her wrong, drama queen!“

I liked the insta-love between Ellie and Gunner and how their relationship developed. The problem that I had was with the character’s character.  Ellie is horny, insecure drama queen.  At first, I thought I’d like her coz she seemed tough at the beginning but after she first saw Gunner, she became this drama queen with a major itch.  Gunner was nice and hot, at first till he got too pussy whipped, we lost the alpha male.  What I didn’t like most about them is the repeated “cock twitching”, “leg squeezing” when they see each other. We get it that you’re hot about each other. There wasn’t any need to repeat it every time they see each other.  Or at least say it differently.  It didn’t make the scene hot at all.  I get that falling in love is alien to them and totally being turned on immediately after they see each other make them feel weird (well, it is weird), but you don’t have to repeat it all the time. It was irritating.  

I liked Ari and Jeff.  I enjoyed their part more than the main story.  Ari cussed too much though.  I hope I’d like book 2.
