GRR Reviews Falling for Mr. Statham: A Billionaire Rom by Whitney G.

Falling for Mr. Statham 2-book boxed set featured some good romance, with some really stupid characters making some really stupid decisions.

Book 1: Claire Gracen's life is perfect. She has a great job, her marriage to her high school sweetheart is strong, her children are grown to college... until she realized it was a lie... Her husband had been cheating on her with her best friend... She left Pittsburgh and started over in the SF Bay area. She got a new job, a new place to live, and new friends. New friends took her to a party, and a younger man hit on her. She turned him down, even though he's the most handsome man ever, but he's too young for her. She discovered to her horror later that the man she turned down was her boss, Jonathan Statham, self-made billionaire and CEO of Statham Industries. And he's VERY determined to change her mind about him...

Uh... Please hire a tech consultant. The tech talk about how Jonathan started his company that rival Apple was really lame. There was a part where he made her grovel "No, I will NOT speak to you... Until you somehow evade security to kiss me." That's really lame mental games, sorry.

Book 2: Claire Gracen has the man, and they are on their way to a great wedding. But amidst the preparations, Claire realized what had been bothering her... what she thought she left behind in Pittsburgh... is much closer than she thinks. Why is her ex after her, insisting that they need to talk? How did he get past his security teams? Claire has nothing to say to Ryan, the man who destroyed her and forced her to leave the East Coast, but he insisted he had something to say... What happened to her (former) best friend that her husband left her for?

What sort of security does this billionaire hire that this lawyer ex was able to penetrate almost at will? The rest is each acting very hurt when they saw something that could have been interpreted ambiguously, and both obviously reached "worst case scenario" conclusions instead, which lead to a big fight... Are these powerful successful people or five-year-olds? This seems to be a really lame way to create conflict.

When you add both volumes together, it's still average.
