BLURB:
I didn’t hate Dex Truitt. Not really. But I didn’t need him rubbing his happiness in my face either. The whole friends with benefits thing was really working for us, until he humiliated me and discarded me for the real deal, true love thing. I definitely didn’t love him, which is why I was so shocked at how worthless I felt after our breakup. I was Caroline Gower—I had power, money, and a distinguished family name. I had everything I ever wanted, but as it turned out, not everything I really needed. And what I realized I needed was to get the hell out of New York City.
Some said I was running. They were right. And while I tried to adapt to my new inconspicuous life, I ran straight into one man who wanted to hurt me and another who wanted to control me. The latter was the most egotistical jerk I’d ever met. One look in his glacial eyes and I knew he was a monster.
His intensity proved it to me. He was definitely the opposite of someone I wanted to spend any kind of time with. Except—I couldn’t just walk away from him . . .or my new life. And while he thought he could dominate me, haze me, and break me, he didn’t know that those bully tactics wouldn’t work on me. Caroline Gower has never been afraid of monsters.
*Mister Monster is a contemporary office romance inspired by Mister Moneybags.

My Thoughts:
Caroline is a woman wanting to start over. Ash doesn’t know what he’s gotten himself into. He seems to be a man who doesn’t need help – he's got everything covered. They are an interesting pair that made the time reading this book fly by.
The author has created a sub story that will tug at the heart. For some of you it may be a shot of reality that you may have in your future. It may be something you’re currently dealing with. For some, it might even be a past memory. I thought it an interesting addition as well as not having something like that land on the woman’s shoulders.
Our author creates the perfect “oh no!” moment and how can you possibly look away now – sneaky, very sneaky. You think it’s the perfect page-turner moment but then she takes it one step further. Don’t think that the “oh no” moment is the highlight. By far it was the moment when you’ll say “ouch” out loud. It shows that she has a very crafty mind and why she’s very good at her job. It was fun to see how things turned around and left me wanting more.
Even though she’s written a book based on another author’s series, the author’s book fits right in. Part of her being good at her job is getting me curious about a secondary character. If you’re like me and like to investigate to see what other stories the author has written, you may just find out that the character you’re interested in just may have a book of his own. And when that happens you know that you have to add him to your library.
