REVIEW: The Private Club by J.S Cooper and Helen Cooper
I heard about this series from Sloth, Ella James refers to it as her heroine's favourite book, and as I've heard of Helen and J.S Cooper and reviewed one of their books before I thought I'd read it!
The book is a mystery for the most part, Meg is a lawyer who gets fired and decides to take up a bartending job, she gets hired but it turns out it's not a bartending job, in fact she has no idea what the job entails and she has to go through 3 days of tests to then know if she got it. She hears all sorts of rumours about what happens to the girls after they finish the tests, the all disappear. Most women would bolt, but of course there's a sexy mysterious man there to keep her ager!
Greyson is a mystery, he's completely honest about so much but when it comes to the club the secrets even have secrets! It was gripping, in the sense that I NEEDED to know what the club actually did. Greyson kept portraying himself as some kind of evil monster but obviously he isn't. The sexy scenes were hot, I did like them BUT it was all super duper fast. Like, Meg lets him in her pants quicker than you can open a tin of beans! After 3 days, just 3 days, they have declared they love for each other! Bear in mind that Meg things Greyson is human trafficking teenage girls for 2.5 of these days!
I liked it while I was reading it but by the end I was a bit done. There is another in this series and there's even a whole series on the other two main characters in the book. It ends on, not so much a cliffhanger, but an open end. There are things left unanswered but after 3 books I didn't fancy reading a load more.
Biggest gripe: it should just be one damn book! It's clearly been written as one book and then disected into 3 books and charged 3 times what it should be! They did this with One Night Stand too, just took 60 pages out of it and made that free but then you have to pay full price for the rest. Clever but cheeky!!
The first book is free but the other two come to £3.70 together so if you do want to read it then go for the box set which is £2.99! Still pricey for what it is, especially seeing as I had just read Sloth which was 500 beautiful pages for only £1.99.
Rant over :-)
