A review by alejandra_guerrero
Animal Instincts by Gena Showalter

Did not finish book. Stopped at 60%.
Never had a fictional character infuriated me as much as this man did. He constantly forces Naomi to do things, he touches her despite her explicitly saying no, and everything he does is so freaking selfish, no matter how many times the author said (through Naomi's thoughts) he was being thoughtful and sweet. He forced her into an airplane because HE wanted her to come with him whenever he traveled. He never had her well-being in mind, only his and what he wanted her to do for him. He’s possessive and controlling, he lies about a lot of things, and the times he says the truth don't compensate for it, in my opinion. The only thing he had in his favor was that he (so far) didn’t cheat (I can’t believe this man would stay faithful for long, though). I never really understood his obsession with Naomi. He saw her once and he was in love. In Love! with a person he hadn’t interacted with. Naomi was very funny, and I really liked her. If this man hadn’t been in the book it would have been so much better.
