Cross the Line by Julie Johnson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I am thoroughly enjoying this series! At this point I’m convinced Lila is my spirit animals. Here’s few quotes that I’m half convinced came straight from my brain.
“I’ve had hundreds of boyfriends. So what if they’re fictional? Don’t you dare judge our love.”
“Enough with the sex positions. Why can’t magazines publish an article about reading positions that don’t get uncomfortable after five minutes?”
“There’s a time and a place for stiletto heels. Always and on my feet.”
Nathaniel Knox was a character that really intrigued me in the previous book. I couldn’t be more delighted to spend more time exploring his character in this installment.
My only complaint is that some of the comments made by the characters were unrealistic… considering they were being said by billionaires. I’m not near billionaire status but I do live quite comfortably and even I raised my eyebrows at some of the dialog. For example- in one scene (I tried looking for it and can’t find the exact passage. Sorry!) Basically someone was describing Lila’s future mentioning her husband taking out the garbage once and bragging about it for years even though Lila will be the one to maintain the house on a regular basis. That’s crazy talk. NEITHER of them will be cleaning their house. They’ll have staff for that.
Here’s another example-
“Sunshine, have you been working out?” Chase’s voice is amused. “Last I checked, you couldn’t even break open the paint cans to redecorate the living room.”
REALITY- Billionaires have interior decorators and would NOT be painting the penthouse of their high rise building themselves. I don’t care how “down to earth” the characters are. That just ain’t happening. Especially considering the penthouse ceilings are probably sky high and not accessible without scaffolding and other materials.
