First I want to commend anyone who has the determination to write a book, however, I was really disappointed in this one . Being an avid reader I have certain criteria when I lay out good money for a book (in this case $18.00 with shipping); I expect it to be edited so that it is 100% correct. If I find one mistake I'm unhappy but grammar and sentence structure mistakes or missing words on almost every page makes me furious. Shame on me for buying into the hype surrounding this one.

The narration and dialogue was stilted and unnatural, constantly shifting between hip and formal within the same paragraph which interfered with the flow.. The dialogue especially was much too formal for members of Generation Y. I don't know anyone who speaks this way and it made the characters sound lifeless. Also the author took great pains to set up a scene, even going over the top in telling the reader what was going to happen but not showing it. Then BAM we're onto the next set up. It was rather jarring to have to switch gears so fast.

As for the characters they were not well developed at all..Other than being young, good looking, sexy, and hot what do we know about them? Oh wait....Donovan wears designer clothes and makes a point of telling us the brands when he changes clothes. And he apparently has never been introduced to a condom. Seriously? But I'm not letting the women off the hook here. There's nothing attractive about a man who has slept around A LOT but is not responsible enough to protect you from pregnancy or STDs?

Following might contain spoilers!!

So this supposedly self-assured 32 year old hotel magnate, who tells us he can have any woman he wants, is attracted to his interior designer because she dresses sexily and has an adorable giggle. He eventually asks her out, but she has a date, so what does the hero(cough)do? He drinks himself into oblivion. Really? Uh..she didn't dump you.... the two are not in a relationship. She didn't get married or enter a convent. She went on a date! He ends up suffering another hangover. Did I mention Donovan drinks? To excess? Yeah this guy is a keeper. Needless to say I won't be spending anymore money on this mindless drivel.

A Gentleman Affair The Gentleman Series Volume 1 AJ Linn 9780989376709 Books Reviews

Reading books written in the male point of view are becoming my favorites. A Gentleman’s Affair by A.J. Linn is the story of the sexy bachelor Donovan Hart told through his point of view. I must say, getting inside the mind of this eligible bachelor makes this story a funny, witty and sexy read.

So tell me, who doesn't love a handsome wealthy bachelor? I for one love them. Add food and wine to his list of interests, and he is a real winner to me. Donovan, well, he fits that description and has it all in my eyes which is why I loved reading his story.

This story is written in a way that the reader follows Donovan’s dating as well as business ventures. His dating adventures turned out to be some of my favorite parts of the book. Now that Donovan is finally ready to find “the one” perfect woman, finding her proves to be quite entertaining. You too will laugh at his dates/encounters with women.

I also love a man with goals and dreams. Donovan, already successful is working on his dream, his new hotel in Vegas. Accomplishing his dream is important and the reader participates in this journey as well. I enjoyed the right amount of balance in his personal and business life as he narrates his story.

While Donovan’s dating adventures may not have resulted in finding “the one” a certain woman working for him captures his attention. His own rules about dating people he works with poses a problem. After spending some time with her on the business side of his life, he realizes he is interested in her. “I will not admit it, but I am interested. F*** my rules. Rules are made to be broken. “ Donovan, gotta love him, breaks his own rule.

Scarlett, the woman who has captured his eye is beautiful, witty and sexy. She changes Donovan’s life. Their chemistry is obvious. They are flirty and fun and are perfect for each other. While both Scarlett and Donovan keep unknown secrets from each other, their relationship flourishes.

In the end of this first book, Donovan’s secret is still unknown and neither is Scarlett’s past. Donovan is finally ready to confess his feelings. I'll leave it at that, no spoilers here. You will have to read it for yourself.

Fortunately, book 2, A Gentleman’s Secret (review coming soon) is available already so you can get right to reading it and discover their secrets/past and what happens to Donovan and Scarlett.

I recommend this book. I enjoyed reading the inner dialogue and the story of this flirty, sexy and witty guy as he experienced it and I am sure you will too.
