Review: Unsuitable by Samantha Towle (Goodreads Author)

Unsuitable by Samantha Towle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

UNSUITABLE by Samantha Towle blew me away!!!
The author has created a compelling story of love, heartache, loss, healing, pain, compassion, and characters that damaged, complex, broken that moved and touched me.

This is the story of Daisy, has suffered some really hard knocks in her life. Abandoned by her mother, she's left to look after her younger brother. When she's set up by her boyfriend for a crime she did not commit, she's imprisoned for 18 months for the crime. When she's released, she's determined to get her life together and get the custody of her brother, who had been placed in care when she was imprisoned.

I absolutely adored this character. She's strong, determined, loving, quirky, funny and hard-working. What I admired the most about her was how she didn't allow bitterness or regret of the past but rather accepted what happened in her life before. Instead she works hard to getting her life together and to a future with her brother and friends. It's not easy going.

She's hired to work as a maid for a rich family in the countryside. When we first meet Kastor Matis, we don't really warm up to him. He's rude, brash, cold, sad, lonely and secretive.... but we can sense that there's something underneath that behaviour that makes you think that he's hiding something from the world.

His behavior is really confusing.....poor Daisy...he blows hot and cold.....is it any wonder that she thinks he's a bit of an ass......

Daisy and Kas are perfect for each other. I loved watching them surrender to their feelings How they seem to bring out the best in each other. Growing closer together....The build-up of the sexual tension,........

At first, I was unable to understand why Kas fought against his feelings for Daisy. Why did he try to push her away, even when he tells her that he feels so much for her..

And his decision at the end, just blew me away!!!! What the hell was he doing? How could he not see the amazing person Daisy was?

The storyline is absolutely amazing. The first chapter broke my heart and pulled me into the story and never let me go. Suspense filled with twists and turns and totally unexpected revelations. There were so many times that I couldn't understand why Kas acted or behaved in a certain way and when eventually all the pieces fall together, I was left totally speechless.

A beautifully written story of two well-developed, flawed but lovable and endearing characters and their journey to finding love, redemption and happiness.

Such a great story and I loved it.

Here's one quote that I liked (and there are a lot of them that!!)

"God, the man can kiss. I could write songs about how well he can kiss. But then, that would be weird. And, also, I can't write for shit."-Daisy
