Mad Love by Colet Abedi
Book description: 23-year-old aspiring artist Sophie Walker can think of no better place than the exotic paradise of the Maldives to escape the wrath of her controlling parents, the monotony of her boring legal work and her passionless boyfriend. With her two best friends along for the ride and to help her find herself again, Sophie is not prepared for the enigmatic Clayton Sinclair. Clayton comes from another world of privilege that seems like a fantasy to Sophie. Can this man introduce her to the passion & seduction she never realized she was desperately searching for? Sophie quickly becomes ensnared in Clayton's seductive web until a shocking treachery makes her question her judgment and actions...

What I thought:
**
I was really interested to read this book from the description but I was sadly very let down. Although I do like the style of the writer the story is just terrible. For a start it seems very similar to '50 shades of grey' with the whole "young, innocent woman/older, obscenely rich, completely overbearing man". I find it very hard to believe anyone would let someone treat them like that and I felt mad just reading about the things Clayton said and did and then the fact Sophie just played along and did everything he said because she was just oh so desperate for him... I just hated it. The only reason I gave this book more than one star was because I still wanted to read to the end and see what happened and I did like the writer. Maybe if there's a different type of storyline by this written I would be interested to read but the fact that this book has a second in the series? There's no way I'm going to read that.
