Mister Dixon, Book 3 of the Mister series, was about Dante Dixon, a sergeant in the army, and Cassie (no last name given), the owner of Cassie's Blossoms floral shop.
Side Note: This was mostly written from the FMC's POV. However, the MMC did have a couple of places that were written from his POV, but it wasn't enough to make it a dual POV story.
Cassie was 23(?) when she met Dixon at a local bar. She and her friend, Lexi were celebrating her being granted a business loan to start her floral shop. While dancing, Cassie was accosted by a man who was drunk and wouldn't take No for an answer. Dixon intervened. Cassie learned that he was in the military, and they ended up in his room for the night. When she woke up the next morning, all that was left was a note. Dante was gone.
Six months later she met Matthew. On their first date, she quickly learned that Matthew was also in the military, but his demeanor did not point to that as true, as it had for Dante. But she let that thought go. Three years passed and not only was Cassie's business flourishing, but she and Matthew were not only still together, but they were engaged. But something wasn't sitting right with Cassie, and one morning Matthew received a call saying his troop was to be deployed. But at that moment, all she could think about was Dante. A few days after he left, Cassie received a phone call saying that Matthew had died "while serving his country".
The many weeks that had passed since losing Matthew were hard on Cassie. She had given up on her business and couldn't even get out of bed until her BFF told her enough was enough and dragged her out to the local bar. Cassie had enough alcohol in her system that it allowed her to loosen up and dance...where she bumped into Dante again for the first time in almost four years. When he said her name, Cassie turned and fled. But then he showed up at her home the following morning. After talking to her for a bit over a cup of coffee, Dante offered to help her with getting her business back on track. When asked why, he told her he owed her that much. But what Cassie didn't know was that Dante had a secret. Not only had he been Matthew's BFF, he had also been his sergeant in the army...and the one who had given the order that ultimately led to his death.
The way this book was written could only be called chaotic. It waffled between past and present, but then it would go off on a tangent where the reader would be completely confused as to what the hell was going on. Sometimes the author threw in a big word, but it didn't really fit the sentence or situation she was writing about at the time.
The whole book was a bit of a trainwreck, from the beginning to the most unusual way the author chose to end it. There was a lot of angst and drama, but some of it came out of nowhere and then went nowhere. It wasn't put together cohesively and seemed to be all over the place. It was almost as if what was presented as a finished book felt more like a rough draft that got published by mistake. Even the emotional rollercoaster felt as if it was supposed to do a loop-da-loop, but instead, it did a twist and turn. The writing style was atrocious and a tad juvenile and the words used weren't always appropriate. Also, the author was so repetitive and had the awful habit of saying the same thing while using different words, such as, "She went to the door...gave it a tug, then she walked to the door, gave it a push". That happened in the same paragraph, so...WTF?
The two main characters were neither well-developed nor particularly mature. Nor was there any true growth for either of them. No real backstory was given, other than a story here and there about how each of them survived a past trauma. On top of that, they were rarely ever together, and when they were, it was always with other people around them, except for when they had an intimate scene. I can't say these were spicy because even that was so juvenile in the portrayal that they weren't enjoyable.
I only gave this story a two-star rating. There was too much wrong with it so it didn't earn anything higher, plus I felt the author did at least put in the effort, weak though it was, to create something palatable. I just don't think she succeeded in that attempt.
