About Mr. Big
Once upon a
time, I had everything: money, power, a multimillion-dollar company, a loving
family. Well, at least I thought I had
everything. Then my parents died, and I found out my whole life was based on a
lie. That’s pretty much the moment when I went numb. Told the world to f*** off
and went on a bender of epic proportion, just to see how far I could fall
before I hit rock-bottom.
Now I’m back and all I want in this world is my morning—okay, afternoon—coffee.
Then one of my employees has the nerve to call me out for cutting the line at
the coffeehouse at the company I own. Sure, I’m a little scruffier than usual,
but come on, bitching out the CEO? Not a smart career move. Just who does this
smart-mouthed ball-buster think she is? And more important, what do I have to
do to get her number?
Holland O’Dell may be uptight, but I wouldn’t mind taking
her back to my place and ripping off that business-casual blouse/skirt combo
and burying myself in her curves. She pushes my buttons, but at least I’m
feeling something. And whatever it is, I won’t stop
until I get more.

My Review
Mr. Big by Delancey Stewart has left me with mixed emotions.
The plot itself was intriguing and definitely enough to peak my curiosity to
give this title a try. The dual perspectives was welcoming and who can say no
to knowing both sides of a story. While, the main characters Oliver Cody and
Holland O’Dell were likeable, for the most part, but by the time I had read the
last word, I felt… I felt… bewildered.
I mean these two had enough self-imposed emotional baggage
that they could not bear the weight or pressure of the possibility of them
being happy. They just kept getting in their own way in a way that was one part
shady and two parts annoying. I liked the premise and I even liked about 75% of
this title, but something happened that felt as chaotic as the emotional state
of these two that left me feeling...I don’t even know.
Don’t get me wrong, I really liked Oliver in this story. His
story was well developed and although I cannot relate how to his charmed life
being thrown upside down, I did feel some connection and resolve for his
character by the end of the book. Now Holland on the other hand… well… whatever!
I wanted to like her and feel something, but every time I was on the verge of
some other than annoying, she triggered me back to feeling annoyed with her.
I digress. Overall, this was an okay read that was on the
verge of incredible, until it wasn’t, and as such I am going to give this one
3-stars and suggest that you just skip on over and read this one for yourself.
The premise was good, but near the end it felt rushed and disconnected and the
entire epilogue really, just blew it for me. Like did we really need that at
the end…I mean I get it, until I didn’t.
This is one you really need to read for yourself, because is
not bad or great...it just is.
