Review: Sway

Sway by Lauren Dane
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Our hero, despite being much older, is immature, insecure, and still trying to impress his mother. The image he projects to society is more important than his happiness.
A blond bimbo on his arm at parties is better seen and accepted than a successful, intelligent woman who does not fit the standards his family expects.
Our heroine deserves better.

...she was totally off the menu when it came to anything long lasting. It wasn’t like he could bring her home to his parents. A twenty-four-year-old artist with tattoos and all that in-your-face, lush beauty.

The last time he’d seen a twenty-four-year-old naked, he’d been twenty-six or so. The experience was not overrated.

“His wife. No, calm down, his dead wife. She died six years ago. A car accident.”

Oh, I get it, her assumption is that because I’m brown that I must be fucking you to trick you into marrying me so I can have your money?”

“I don’t like it. This bitch needs to be punched. How dare she call you names? She doesn’t even know you.” Jules glared at her

“But I don’t like that you’re feeling off balance and that maybe he’s hiding you from his family. I don’t want you feeling as if you’re not good enough. That makes me quite cross with your Levi.”

“Tattooed. Artsy.” “So you buy Gwen’s line about her not being our kind?” He clenched his jaw.

“You’re forty years old. How long are you going to flit around with dumb women who you don’t care about? Is that your lifestyle now?”

“What is it you want from me? We’ve only been together a few months. Are you expecting marriage this early on?”

I’m young? Or inked? Not blonde and perfect with big horse teeth like that dumbass your brother married?”

She stared at him. “Is it my age or my skin tone?”

“I’m glad I got to know you, Daisy. But I don’t do ultimatums. I’m a big boy and I don’t need a boss.”

==>DATING OW<== why you’re here with Dyan when you clearly don’t have a single romantic or sexual tingle for her.” “She’s a beautiful woman; why wouldn’t I be here with her?”
Dyan made her way back over, sliding her arm through his.
