Stuck-Up Suit Paperback – April 11, 2016

I agree with the reviews that say the book is juvenile and unbelievable. The instalove is out of charts.However, what really bothers me in this book is that the authors not even thought to understand the train/subway system in NY. If Graham lives in the Upper West Side and Soraya lives in Brooklyn, how can they be getting on the same train to work everyday? Also, I don't think anyone in NY would say that they meet the same people in the subway every morning. This can happen if you are commuting from the suburbs, but not in the Manhattan subway!And can we please move on from the late twenties billionaires?! Maybe there are some athletes or tech guys billionaires out there, but it is really far fetched for a wall street guy coming out of nothing to have its own investment company before his 30s. Somebody already said how ridiculous it is to have the said workaholic guy changing his ways because of some pics. Ah, btw, average workaholic finance guys in Manhattan work more than 12 hours a day.If they are to charge $5 dollars for a book, at least they should do their research correctly.

How to rate this book is really hard. The first 50% of this was a 10 of 5 stars. It was perfect I totally loved it. I loved the writing and the characters. Everything it was totally wonderful. Had it continued like that this book would be 10 stars. However, everything was too wonderful and so the writers threw in the big obstacle and truly it made me cringe. The second part of the book is a 1 out of 5 stars, it was that predictable and awful and I was sorry I bought this book because no one warned me. So don't keep reading if you don't want to know.....xxxxThis story starts out amazing. It has hot and snark texts and both characters, Graham and Soraya are absolutely terrific and so wonderful together. The non meeting and being phone pals and then them finally meeting, it was absolutely fantastic, romantic, sweet and so wonderful.. I loved Graham and Soraya and watching them fall in love and make a life together. Thats the first 50%.Then the book changes drastically at the 52% mark, almost like its a totally different author and not one I like. And this is the big spoiler....Graham starts getting reinvolved with this ex of his who cheated on him in more ways then one. Total B!! Then he finds out she had his daughter and now that her husband is dead she goes after clueless Graham with everything she has. And this is where the book changes so drastically. Graham becomes this total idiot. He lets her call the shots and thats just not who he was in the first part. Soraya changes too and in not the good way. She has always felt like her father picked his new family over her and so instead of being a strong woman, that she was in the first half she becomes wishy washy and weak. She lets a bunch of she-devils talk her into dumping Graham.The ending of the book was great because both characters finally become who they were in the beginning of the books.

I really wanted to give this book 5 stars. I was just so angry with it that I couldn't ! The book started off great. Soraya and Graham were witty, sexy and intriguing. In fact up until Graham discovered 'the secret', this book was intriguing. Then... It went all downhill. Graham became weak and clueless, instead of the fearsome businessman/alpha male we were introduced to initially. He allowed himself to be manipulated by his ex. Soraya went from sassy and strong to weak and lame! And what's up with having her entire name written on almost every page? Soraya Venadetta, Sorya Venadetta on and on. We get it! Unique name. Move on! I realize that this book had 2 authors and usually, that's not an issue. However, it is clear in this book. Maybe each author did half? It just didn't flow right. It appeared as if the characters were bi-polar . Manic in the first half, depressed in the 2nd. It just didn't gel.

Although it was still tough to put this book down it really wasn't as good as the two before it. I'd like to address some of the unfavorable reviews I read before buying this book:Some complained about the obvious difference between the first half of the book and second...on this I agree...it was very clear when one finished and the other started. I'm all for collaboration between authors but sharing ideas is one thing one writing the beginning and one writing the end it another. But this in no way turned me off of this book...the second half was just a little boring and felt rushed.Some complained that Graham acted different between the first and second half of the book...I don't agree...yes he somewhat allowed Genevieve to manipulate him but all bets are off when there's a kid involved. And I would have been really disappointed if he hadn't done all he could (including putting up with her BS) to get to know his daughter. (Sorry...slight spoiler) The fact that, when presented with the opportunity to "have" Genevieve, he didn't do it...even though he was broken hearted by Soraya shows me that his character kept his integrity and didn't allow himself to be lead by emotions. (Again, sorry...slight spoiler)And finally, some complained about the love scenes...this I also agree with. In the first two books I read by Ms Keeland the scenes were descriptively written and the passion oozed off the page...I felt this book was more wham bam thank you ma'am!Still looking forward to the next book by Ms. Keeland but I'm gonna try to stay away from the ones she wrote with other authors...just a personal preference.

This powerful standalone story begins when Soraya spots a handsome man who turns out to be businessman, Graham Morgan on a morning train. She is smitten by his good looks, being he in fact way pass gorgeous, wearing expensive clothes and shoes, reflecting his wealth and charisma.However, she is also shocked by his arrogance and rudeness when she turns up at his office and tries to return the phone he dropped getting off the train. He refuses to see her and with frustration she sends him three headless pictures of herself and tell him via his intercom " Your grandmother would be ashamed of you".Well, this comments makes him feel guilty as he knew his grandmother would disapprove of his behaviour. Unable to get thoughts of Bridget out of his head he uncharacteristically travels on the train at the same time again to see if he can spot her and the give away is the tattoo that Bridget has on her ankle.Graham is very successful in business and wheels power with little regard to the people around him. He is used to saying and doing as he likes until he comes face-to-face with Bridget. She seems to be the only person who is not afraid to tell him the truth and criticise his actions. Gradually they begin to develop a relationship and it appears that opposites like magnets do attract.Then, suddenly, Graham discovers he has a four year old daughter who his ex girlfriend (who also married his best friend) failed to tell him about. She looks like Graham and turns out to be his. But what will this news do to his relationship with Soraya? You must devote time to read this book and find out yourself.

I really enjoyed this book which after reading some of the reviews (I know!) and the synopsis there was a bit of umming and aahing. I can say that overall i really enjoyed this book. But (and there is always a but when it's not 5 stars) my two main problems were:1 - the FL was hilarious and brilliant to begin with. I liked her real-life fiesty attitude, to begin with. Then she just became a bit of a whinger/sap. It annoyed me. She became too 'oh no, poor me' and was actually quite brutal to the ML. I found this upsetting because it didn't need it and it didn't add anything, or any kind of grit or layer, because to me, she wasn't that person. It was like for a few chapters, she becomes another character. It actually took away from the book.2 - The language throughout how the F and ML spoke to each other was funny, bantery, flirty, all of it, but then suddenly the author felt it was okay to turn their dialect into, once again, like we entered another book where completely sappy and overly formal/poetic speils came out of the characters mouths. I don't know if this was to try and again add layers or depths, but I once again found it quite annoying and turned a brilliant, easy, funny, read into something which became a bit grating at times.However, harsh as the above sounds, I only mean it in the lightest of ways otherwise I wouldn't bother with a review and I wouldn't have marked it 4 stars.Definitely worth a purchase

I did enjoy this novel but I couldn't give it a five star as there was something lacking which I can't put my finger on. But still a great read none the less. Soraya was a fab leading lady but graham fell a little flat for me. Maybe it's because he didn't remain bad all the way through and got really soppy. Maybe it's his name. Not sexy at all btw. But that said, it was such an easy read and a lovely story. Tig and Delia have a story to tell, I'm sure of it. They were great secondary characters as was Chloe. I actually burst out laughing at her last line.The two authors are fantastic together, no denying that, but the name Graham????? Come on......

A few fellow readers recommended this book but it was just ok for me. 'Stuck up suit meets sassy lady'. They have instant chemistry but then he finds out some big news, it affects their relationship and well, let's just say it's a HEA. The sex is described quickly and I would have liked a bit more build up to their relationship, bit more rage.

These two authors really delivered with this novel!Soraya is a sassy wiseass with a smart mouth. She’s direct and the complete opposite of the Suit she sees on the train, one morning, on the way to work. He’s drop-dead gorgeous but his personality doesn’t match his looks at all. From what she observes, he’s angry, arrogant and incredibly rude, but she can’t peel her eyes away from him. When she realises that he dropped his phone when he dashed off the train, she pockets it, planning to return it to him.Graham is closed off to the world. Events in his past has kept him distant from other people and he doesn’t love easily. He’s a workaholic and boorish to his employees. Some suggestive photos and a tart text message ignites Graham’s obsession with Soraya. She manages to get under his skin and he wants her even before he’s met her, and he quickly becomes desperate to uncover her identity. Soraya knows that they’re all wrong for each other and her feelings frighten her. Her family history has her thinking that she’s unworthy of love and she’s scared to give her heart over to Graham.This novel was funny, incredibly hot, swoony, and made me well up a couple of times. The dialogue and text banter between the two characters made me chuckle. The sexual chemistry between them made me hot under the collar. The love and affection between them made me melt. I thoroughly enjoyed every word and can’t wait for the authors’ next collaboration.
