A Review by Beverly
Unethical by Jennifer BlackwoodMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
3.5 Stars
At eighteen, Payton had her life mapped out: medical school, marry her high school sweetheart, Blake, and live happily ever after. Her world came crushing down when her mother passes away and her father is at the center of the controversy. Lost and needing to escape, Payton runs away to Florida.
Blake never knew the last minute trip to Mexico with his cousin when shape the rest of his life, but when he returns home to learn his girlfriend's mother died and she has left, he knows things will never be the same.
Two years later, out of money Payton returns home and enrolls in the local college. While it is safe to say Payton hasn’t truly moved on she has done everything in her power to distance herself from her father, even going as far as to change her name.
So when Payton sees the only guy she has ever loved again, she knows everything is at risk: her medical scholarship, identity, and heart.
I usually second chance at love story, but was disappointed with the back and forth. Being able to see both points of view, and knowing their thoughts increased my frustration with the way things weren’t progressing.
I did not enjoy the inner dialogue from both characters, it felt redundant. Especially when they did the exact opposite of their thoughts. I think the intent was to build angst or sexual tension, but it did neither for me. It actually had the opposite effect, and I grew extremely frustrated.
In the end, I think this book could work for some people, I just didn’t love how the couple went back and forth, I felt like a lot of time was wasted.
