I saw this on Scribd and thought, "Ooh, I want to read that." It sounded good, the cover is amazing and it was free for me. So why not?
Unfortunately once I started reading, I thought it sounded a lot like Meg Cabot's [b:Abandon|9397967|Abandon (Abandon Trilogy, #1)|Meg Cabot|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1324767084s/9397967.jpg|11351526] and I found it rather difficult to get into, though I think that was down to the "then" and "now" storyline and not the similarities between this and the other.
I can't say I felt anything for any of the characters or their predicament and I just lost interest in it all. That's were my 2 star rating comes from. It was okay, but not for me.

I'm not the biggest fan of erotica, so this was a little iffy for me going in. I thought it would be better because its plot sounded interesting: Men and women who work for an agency who seduce people to find out business secrets, plots for bad things, microchips etc, but Jade--the main character--starts to have feelings for her target.
I'm not sure if it was the writing style or just the way the author had decided to play the story out but I couldn't get into it. It was really heavy on the sex in that first 25% and like I said not a fan of too much sex.
I really need to stay away from books that are more sex than romance.

But thankfully once john is back on home soil things improve again leading up to the big finale at the continental hotel.All in all another excellent addition to the franchise and things are set up for a fourth movie to come along in the future

I don't remember much about it, other than the basic outline of the plot.
I do know that this follows the same story, almost beat for beat, and that there was lot of controversy around the casting of Ariel herself (believe it or not) coming up to the time of release.
Having now watched it on Disney Plus, I found it to drag somewhat; more drawn out than it needed to be.
Halle Bailey does silence her critics in the lead role, with Melissa McCarthy's Ursula also lighting up the screen when she is on it, but it feels like if had been extended (in running time, by nearly an hour over the original or so I have read) just because they could!
