Burning Offer - Book Review

By Aubrey Parker

Synopsis

The anonymous invitation that someone slipped under my door promises $1,000. Just for meeting a man downtown, in a public place, no questions asked.

I can make more than I ever imagined if I agree to take part in a competition.

Just get into the limousine. Just get on the private plane. Just fly to an airstrip at the foot of the largest, most luxurious estate I’ve ever seen. Just stay the first night, then another. Tell no one where I’ve gone, or why.

Everything in me screams to run away.

The rules say I can leave whenever I want.

So why am I still here?

Review

I’m not entirely sure what to say about this book, and I don’t have to worry about giving away any spoilers because I have absolutely no friggin’ idea what the hell is going on. All I know is that Bridget is competing against eleven other women in a sexual contest aimed at finding a wife for the billionaire head of a sex toy company. But is that all there is to the contest? Who’s in charge? Is it Trevor, Daniel or someone else? Bridget doesn’t know, nor does she care; she only plans on staying long enough to win enough money to help her mother get out of a bad situation.

BURNING OFFER is told in dual POVs, but is mostly told in Bridget’s POV. It’s the beginning of a four part serial, so it cannot be read as a stand-alone. I’ll be honest, I thought about giving up on this book several times. I didn’t feel like I was missing something, but rather that I was missing everything, because not one thing made a damn bit of sense. I’m assuming it’s meant to be very confusing and that hopefully it’s not simply a case of being too stupid to understand what’s going on. But as much as it frustrated the crap out of me, it also intrigued me enough to keep me coming back.
