I do love Handle with Care from Miss Croft. So when her other book, Blackmailed by Italian Billionaire shows up on my audio book list, I have high expectation on this book. But unfortunately, I do not like Blackmailed by Italian Billionaire. The story reminds me of Pretty Woman. Richard Gere keep flashing on my imagination although I know Richard Gere is not Italian.
What does not works for me:
1. The story. The promising story of crime underworld does not highlighted on this book. Instead the story is more focus on the steamy romance between Luc and Olivia.
2. The character, especially Olivia is also disappointing. She is stupid and needy heroine. She is so naive and weak. I do like damsel in distress but Olivia is just annoying.
3. The twist and plot is so weak and almost non existence. Its so boring actually.
Again I am disappointed with this book.
