Stuck-up Suit

"Who did the stuck-up suit think he was...God?"

Book Summary: 

It started out like any other morning on the train.
Until I became mesmerized by the guy sitting across the aisle.
He was barking at someone on his phone like he ruled the world.
Who did the stuck-up suit think he was…God?
Actually, he looked like a God. That was about it.
When his stop came, he got up suddenly and left. So suddenly, he dropped his phone on the way out.
I might have picked it up.
I might have gone through all of his photos and called some of the numbers.
I might have held onto the mystery man’s phone for days―until I finally conjured up the courage to return it.
When I traipsed my ass across town to his fancy company, he refused to see me.
So, I left the phone on the empty desk outside the arrogant jerk’s office.
I might have also left behind a dirty picture on it first though.
I didn’t expect him to text back.
I didn’t expect our exchanges to be hot as hell.
I didn’t expect to fall for him―all before we even met.
The two of us couldn’t have been any more different.
Yet, you know what they say about opposites.
When we finally came face to face, we found out opposites sometimes do more than attract―we consumed each other.
Nothing could have prepared me for the ride he took me on. And I certainly wasn’t prepared for where I’d wind up when the ride was over.
All good things must come to an end, right?
Except our ending was one I didn’t see coming.

My Review:

I will start by saying I was a little teary eyed by the time I finished Stuck-Up Suit. The ending was just, yeah it was a kleenex moment.
 
With that being said, while I enjoyed this book, the one nagging issue I had from the beginning is that while I understand it is fictional, it is just too far fetch to grasp. I get the premise of chance encounters, that is the foundation of all strangers to lovers romances but this one – especially with who the characters were, it was too outlandish.
 
As I will use it several times below, I will preface by saying the word of the day is “intensity” when you talk about this book.
 
From the intensity of the two main characters crossing to the “blown against your seat” acceleration of their relationship, you are left in the dust – trying to catch up on how everything moved so fast and got where it was so quickly (too quickly).
 
Once you stop feeling like you have been on a rocket, shot to outer space, and the decide to say “it is what it is”, you can then sink into the story and watch it unfold.
 
The build up in each chapter was so intense that I found myself skipping to the end of the chapter, reading a few lines to see what happened, allowing me to get through the chapter itself.
 
I will fair to mention that if you blush easily, this book is NOT for you. This book is HOT – I mean fan yourself, “I can’t believe he just said that”, dirty talk is this man’s gift kind of hot.
 
While this is technically book #3 in the series, all books are stand alone.
