Review: Styled (Travesty #3) by Piper Lawson



Book Blurb


I have a type. Tall. Blond. Sarcastic. Awkward as hell.

That’s right, my type is me. Because I’m better off spending my time alone than with a guy.

Which doesn't matter since this month, I’m on an open-ended ticket to LA to find a new boutique for TRAVESTY. Not to find a rebound for the breakup that blew my mind. I’m ready to forget all about dicks.

Too bad Ethan Cameron sinks that dream before I get on the plane.

The SoCal realtor might be my business partner's older brother, but he's the wrong guy to help us out. Ethan's arrogant and self-centred, with a dentist’s wet dream smile and pecs that might have their own hashtag. More girls pass through the backseat of his car than through the doors of our SoHo boutique.

He's also wrong for me. And the more he thinks he knows me, the more I need to prove he doesn't.

But I can’t ignore the fact that I need Ethan's help finding a boutique to put TRAVESTY on the map. And no one knows LA style like Ethan.

I survived private school. Growing up with one parent. Dating a gay guy. I can survive one month with Ethan Cameron.

Right?

Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala

Jordan is in LA looking for a location for a new Travesty store.  The girls are excited to be expanding.  Jordan knows the business side and has been sent to find what the company needs.  She is met at the airport by Ethan, older brother of her business partner and friend.  He has agreed to pick Jordan up from LAX.  Of course he gets sidetracked by a hot woman at the baggage claim.  When Jordan calls his name he is shocked to see her.  She was not what he expected.  In fact he is very surprised to learn who she really is.  He didn’t expect his attraction to her either.  In fact he didn’t expect her at all.
Jordan is there strictly for business to get the new store up and running.  She didn’t expect Ethan either.  Her attraction is there and their time together is fun, but he is a player and she isn’t sure where she stands.  She is only there for a short time.
I read the first of this series and I liked it.  However this one was a bit of a disappointment.  I couldn’t really get into the story.  I just couldn’t relate to the characters.  Jordan was distant and almost closed off.  So was Ethan.  It was hard to picture them meshing together as a couple.  I couldn’t bring myself to believe there was a chemistry between them.  The connection wasn’t there for me.

I was sad that I felt this way.  I was excited to read the book.  I liked the storyline of the series and the possibilities that this book held.  Unfortunately I had to keep forcing myself to read it. So personally it was an okay book.  I give it a 3 out of 5.
