Cruel Money

Hands down this is an absolute favorite of 2019!
So much drama, sizzling chemistry and characters that will make you think, are they who they portray themselves to be?
I devoured this story that centers on Natalie and Penn!
Natalie is house sitting as a job and is a budding writer! Penn is the one that got away 6 years ago, or is he?
There was so much to love about this story that I was riveted to my seat/couch!
Needless to say the dilemmas surrounding Natalie, Penn and friends as well as family will make you laugh, feel heated, sigh and get angry at characters when they do something so incredibly disheartening you don’t know what to think!?
I feel rung out to be quite honest! I feel like I could have read so much more!
I loved how Natalie stood her ground, told it like it is and I especially loved that when push came to shove she fought for herself!
Penn was a very likable guy but underneath, is what side hes showing Natalie his true self ? I just cant begin to tell you how this book made me feel! All the things, all the feelings, all the love, hurt and betrayal! But when it truly matters, who do you believe??
The characters in this story enthralled me! They captivated me and I felt that I wanted to shake some of them for how they treated a character!
Im overjoyed how it ended but at the same time Im absolutely desperate for more, I cannot wait for more of this series! The author has nailed the story and I cannot wait to see how things progress!!

The description does not mention that this is just the first part of a trilogy and that this book would just cut off, almost mid-sentence. Argh.

4.5 Stars for Cruel Money book 1 in the new Cruel series and what a way to start a series !!
Penn and Natalie share a past and it’s not the type of past you want to remember so what happens when this couple meet up 6 years down the line well i guess you will need to read the book to find that out because this is a book you won’t want to miss because this is a story that will intrigue and captivate you and you won’t be able to put it down .....
Things and people are not always what they seem and that’s what’s so interesting with Cruel Money, it’s nothing like anything I have read before and it certainly keeps you on the edge of your seat. This book is filled with drama and angst and I really didn’t want it to end so now I wait with bated breath for book 2 in the series let’s hope it’s not to far away. Loved this must read
