Bought for Her Innocence by Tara PammiMy rating: 1 of 5 stars
Bought for Her Innocence by Tara Pammi is the 2nd book in the Greek Tycoons Tamed duet about two “brothers” who were rescued from the streets by a benefactor. The 1st book Claimed for his Duty was Stavros story, https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... which I really really liked. I was rather looking forward to Dmitri Karegas’s book. But it turned out to be a real disappointment!!
The plot kids living on the streets of London, when one of them is whisked away by a good benefactor and then becomes a millionaire, forgetting all about the two people who had helped him when he was going through bad times. He then comes back to rescue the heroine and takes her off into his life of luxury and pleasure. She fights. He fights. She loves him. He doesn’t love her. She has a lack of self-worth. He believes that he’s not a good person for anyone to care for….blah blah blah………….She offers to pay the hero back the money he spent buying her “virginity” online…yes, she did that in desperation to get the hero’s attention…..what, you can’t keep up???? Well, neither could I.
In this day and age, you put up your virginity for sale on the internet???? Too unbelievable for me!!!
All through the book I was kept thinking I had read this book before. But no, this is the latest release by this author. But something kept nagging me…why does this story sound so familiar. After doing a bit of research, I came across a book I read a few years back, Bought” Yet Defiant, by Sarah Morgan, https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7... and quite honestly....the plot was, if not exactly the same, it was pretty close to it.
In Sarah Morgan’s book, the heroine is a singer in seedy London bars, in this book, the heroine is a pole-dancer…NO……
it’s not a mistake……in a seedy London bar! Wow, talk about a different heroine’s occupation!!!! But wait, soon she’s discovered and is on the path to becoming a supermodel!!!! Within 2 months!!!!! Both heroes come back from their millionaire lives to rescue the heroines!!!!
But it wasn’t the fact that the story and characters felt familiar that I didn’t like this book. It was more the 2 main characters that didn’t do it for me.
The heroine, Jas, I liked a bit more than the hero, who really did not treat her very well and I thought he was not a very nice guy.
The pace of the story was slow, too much repetition, the constant inner dialogue……and most of all….a lack of spark!!!!
This was not one of the books written by this author that I cared much for. I have read much better ones by her.
