Just a Bit Heartless

My opinion might be the least common or the least desirable but my criticisms about the book seem to be extremely outlier-ish.

Just a Bit Bossy will forever be my favorite. I loved the banter and comedy above everything else. It's a book I re-read several times a year. For this reason alone I was incredibly excited to read this book but it fell a bit short.

First, I was on board with how everyone could feel intimidated by this man. He really didn't give psychotic vibes but it didn't mean they weren't there. I was on board with even thinking he wasn't psychotic but had to do questionable things in order to survive. You learn the reasons why. For Pete's sake he's a mafia boss... is anything out of the realm of possibility.

What wasn't plausible was Jordan not feeling an ounce of scared while around the mafia and the mafia boss. What wasn't plausible was Jordan speaking up and making a room full of people he just met, speak to him in English because he feels it is disrespectful to speak in their native tongue in their native land. LIKE WTF. AND they did! That was bullshit. Please don't go to another country and force yourself on people. People do not have to speak YOUR language in THEIR country. It was cringe and a turn-off.
Jordan just felt way more privileged and entitled than I thought should be afforded to him.

I do think the kidnapping should have been an opportunity to get much closer and although the two did get closer it still felt incomplete when they were out of the situation. It didn't feel like it was enough to get to where they were in the story.

I'm now reading book 14 in the series and Jordan's brother is giving this overly important vibe as well. It's one thing to be confident and believe in yourself but it's another to think you are the universes' gift to humanity.
