Mister Lawson, Book 2 of the Mister series, was about Billionaire Drake Lawson, a lawyer, and Gemma (no last name given), a personal assistant at Lawson's Legal-turned-Nanny.
Gemma started working for Drake because she needed the money to pay her ailing mother's medical bills. Upon meeting him, she did not like what she saw, other than his looks. His demeanor and attitude were atrocious. Yet, at the end of the business day, Drake almost kissed Gemma, and she had been more than willing to let him do that, and more...after she had already met one of his many lady friends earlier that morning. Oh, and how does one see the other caller's glare through the phone, without it being a video call? And why wouldn't an 8-9-year-old girl NOT know the meaning of "supplies"?
After only a couple of days working at the office, Gemma found herself transitioning into a nanny position. This happened because she found Drake's daughter outside the office building one day. She had run away from her current nanny and bonded with Gemma. So Drake just pushed her into the role without ever finding out how she felt about kids. It wasn't until much later that she told him she didn't like kids and had never wanted any of her own.
The day after Drake and his daughter met Gemma's mother, the older woman passed away (she had been ill with cancer for a long time). Drake showed up at her home and Gemma fell apart from the grief, leading to her asking him to take away her pain. So he did the only thing he could think of...he kissed her. He apologized for "taking advantage" of her and she sent him on his way after saying it shouldn't have happened, and never would again.
The book had some angst, a bit more drama, and a small amount of spice, but the flow of the storyline was too choppy and chaotic. Nothing felt right and it was all over the place. The way the characters interacted with each other felt off and confusion reigned supreme.
The writing style of this book was juvenile and along the lines of a story written for Wattpad. There were times when the characters were so wishy-washy that it felt as if I had been reading a child's writing. They were so flaky that it felt like watching two small children arguing over a toy, only to be best friends again in a matter of seconds.
The author's characters apparently had a problem telling time because the morning started at 6:20 A.M., but it took the FMC from 6:30-lunchtime to clean up a spill. But then Gemma worked like a dog for a while which should have been several hours...and then it was her lunchtime. It just didn't have any continuity. There was also the fact that Drake's "middle-aged" secretary "giggled"...all the time.
There were times when the FMC acted like an innocent, but she mostly acted like an oversexed tart, which made reading her part disappointing. At one point, she acted like a dominatrix, and that honestly was the wrong type of character the author had portrayed her as. In one chapter, she was baby-talking with the "Mommy I miss you" air, then she's "tossing" him back onto the bed and her words were that of a female Dom. The MMC was more wishy-washy and secretive at the same time. He would blow hot then cold so fast it felt like whiplash had taken over this reader, and not in a good way.
There was one scene that didn't quite fit the story, and that was the SA attempt on the FMC. The author offered no reason why the other man chose the FMC to attack. She had only met him twice before, with the second time being him being a bit of a creeper. But for him to assault her the way he did at their third meeting was so far out of the blue that it made zero sense.
This book had so many different plot twists that it felt like this reader's brain was on a perpetual rollercoaster that had more loops, twists, and turns that were nauseatingly difficult to accept. This was not a pleasant thing, mind you. It took away from the story anything good that it had left. It wasn't a pleasant book to read even before the awful trip around the coaster.
If you tally all of the grammatical errors together with all of the other issues this story had, you'd understand why I only gave it a two-star rating. There were times I didn't think I'd give it that high of a rating, but I was in a good mood to be generous. I hope the other stories in the series fare better than these first two books did.
