Bastard Bachelor Society by Sara NeyMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
3.5 Stars.
Abbott and Brooks are the first couple in this new series by Sara Ney. Abbott is from New York old money with a close family and Brooks grew up struggling but makes good for himself. This part was refreshing as it is normally the hero that has all the money and power. They meet in the lobby of their apartment block and find out they are neighbours on the same floor. They form a friendship and start to spend a lot of time together.
This book is centered mainly on these two, but there are some fun secondary characters too. One being Abbott’s nan, who is a determined matchmaker but brings gifts to soften the blow. Abbott has a cat that may or may not like her, who knows as it’s a cat! Brooks has two best friends whom he starts a gentleman’s club (society) with and wagers a bet who can stay single the longest. Even though Brooks had been hurt from a previous relationship that got him to this stage, the fact they created the society was a very douchey thing to do and the three of them came out looking bad.
The storyline was a little fast and somewhat forced to begin with, but I settled in and started to connect with the characters. Brooks wasn’t a douchbag really and they way he wanted to be apart of Abbott’s world was sweet. Most of the book takes place at either Abbott or Brook’s apartment and I would have like to see them venture out more. I felt there wasn’t anything new or surprising happen within the storyline and I was hoping for something more. Did I enjoy the book, for sure. There were some funny parts and even a little angst. Will I try the next book in the series, most likely as I’m hoping she can make these other two friends more lovable.
