Ive gotten several pages into it and its all about the main-character working and thinking. And then work some more. Maybe a better title would be "The life of a Executive Assistant"? ( ) TWO AND A HALF STARS--Lexi White and Vincent Drake, their premise showed so much promise but it left me feeling slightly annoyed at the end of this very long PG story. I agree with another reviewer's suggestion of cutting this story down a number of pages (100-200 pages less couldn't hurt and would make the slow build-up feel as much of a process). Don't get me wrong the story had promise I just can't pinpoint where exactly it started to not live up to its hype. You see, I am fan of U.S. version of Ugly Betty". I watched it until the end and totally rooted for Betty, the unappreciated assistant, and Daniel, the handsome, yet major jerk, boss, to be together. And after so many years, they finally did end being together. I enjoyed the drama from the show's villain, Wilhelmina. She was one of the great TV villains, IMO. So Jade was a piss poor elementary version of Wilhelmina. So somewhere around chapter 13, I felt like I was reading an extended version of a literary version of Not Ugly Betty or NUB as I called Alexandra(Lexi) from that point forward. Lexi, was NUB-- a cowardly, tear-streaked (this woman cried so much her tears could float a nation) poor man's version of the awesome Ugly Betty. You see, Betty realized her self worth and Daniel became less of a jerk. However, the less jerk-like tendencies came a little too late from Vincent or as I called him Coward #1. The author didn't really give much backbone to either main character until too late and by the time the words were introduced that NUB was going to be her own woman(giggle) and Vincent, a...man (titter, eye roll and giggle) it was too much too late. Their love story was as passionless as another reviewer commented. Also Daniel/Vincent (truly does it matter at this point what his name is) did not cheat on NUB because you see...they were not in a relationship. It was almost sexual tension filled friendship at best and a jellyfish mating dance at worst. I'll not go into detail about the unprofessional dialogue between co-workers or better yet, boss and employee, the few typos, unnecessary advertising tips and at times junior high school-like dialogue. Oh and the author forgetting characteristics of her own characters midway into the story, eye colors flip-flopped. Or Jade...I guess she was necessary for an antagonist but really...who acts like that. And why did Dancent(Daniel/Vincent) cower from her and take the abuse? There was a weak suspense plot thrown into the story (easily guessable, wonder how neither NUB or Dancent couldn't figure it out). What saved the story? The HEA...for the spineless lovers and the secondary characters. I really liked Hope and Sean. There was no mention of them in the epilogue. So if you like Ugly Betty-like stories or are obsessed with long novels with mere kisses about a non-epic tale of a weak heroine who cries at the drop of a hat and her ass of a boss, then do I have a story for you." Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. Trust in Advertising was a nice, easy read. Perfect for the beach. It followed the perfect "romance formula", great main characters and even better supporting characters. I did feel that the end was a bit too much, too far out of reality. But over all a fun read. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Lexi White finds herself at a crossroads. After putting everything on hold to care for her ailing father, it's finally time for her to start living her life again. An exciting new job holds the promise of a fresh start, until she comes face to face with someone from her past who has always stopped her dead in her tracks, and who evidently still has the power to make her forget her own name. This time around, Lexi's a grown woman who refuses to back away from her dreams, even if it requires working with her old high school crush. Side by side. Every day. Will he end up being her downfall or exactly what she needs? Vincent doesn't even remember Lexi from high school, but he begins to take notice when the fiery young woman is hired as his new assistant. Quickly, Lexi turns his world upside down and becomes an invaluable addition not only to his team, but to his life. Having learned a few hard lessons about trust in the past, Vincent is reluctant to let down his guard, especially when it appears that someone is out to sabotage his family's advertising agency. Professionally, they are dynamite together, but when sparks fly between them personally, will Vincent let lies and jealousy ruin everything between them, or will he finally learn not only how to love, but ultimately trust...in advertising? Victoria Michaels once again delivers a can't-put-it-down novel loaded with engaging characters, cheeky dialogue, and powerful emotions. Trust in Advertising is a cleverly woven tale about two people getting to know each other and ultimately themselves. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
