The Man Plan The Grayson Series Book 2 edition by Tracy Anne Warren Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

1. Cheating/Other woman. I hate cheating or even having another person being featured as a love interest in books. Often times it makes me hate the person at the center of it because they become wishy-washy and selfish. That is exactly what happened here. From the beginning of the book, hero is in a relationship with another woman and has been for about a year. So not only could there be feelings involved in the other person’s part, but there’s also an certain expectation of intimacy after a year (this isn’t a one night stand they can casually toss aside, this is someone that’s dedicated a year’s worth of time in the relationship with them). However, our hero decides he wants to have his cake and eat it too. He goes on these dates with the heroine that he says are just time spent with an old friend (except he’s picturing he naked so not really) and keeps lying to the other woman. When the book gets to the part where the hero and heroine start to get intimate, I threw in the towel. To give the hero some credit (not much as he should have stopped being a coward and broke off the relationship with the other woman earlier especially since it sounded like he was in a similar situation where he was the jilted party), the heroine keeps pushing and pushing even after the hero tells her repeatedly she needs to leave.

2. Age difference. I’m all for age difference in romance books and I think there are some out there that do an amazing job of showing the beauty of that type of relationship. This was not one of them. I could not get past the almost constant reminder of how young she was and that he changed her diapers and thinks of her as a little sister. EW. Seriously do not have all these sordid thoughts and then mention she’s like a little sister to you. Maybe in erotica that taboo works but not in a romance book.

I’ve read several of this author’s works and have been pretty pleased with them overall. That said she really does better as a historical romance writer. Even in this book there were influences of historical writing that wasn’t appropriate for a modern setting. While not awful and terribly noticeable, it is worth mentioning. Just like someone doesn’t want to read a historical with ultra modern language, neither does someone want to read a modern romance with historical language.

Give this one a pass but maybe check out one of the author’s other works.

Quick & Dirty Ivy has loved James her whole life. Now she finally has the chance to get him. Will he let their age difference ruin their chances for love?

Opening Sentence Bang.

The Review

Ivy has been in love with James her whole life. He was engaged to her sister though, so she could never do anything about it. After her sister leaves him at the altar, Ivy finally finds the courage to confess her feelings to James only to have him turn her down. Fast forward five years. Ivy is dropping out of college to pursue an art career, and her parents would rather she live in James’ apartment building than the apartment she was planning on renting with friends. Since James lives in the building as well as owns it, Ivy finally sees her chance. This is the perfect opportunity to make James realize they are meant for each other. Will James still see her as just a little sister, or will he realize that his feelings run deeper than that?

I was excited to pick this book up because I really enjoyed the last Tracy Anne Warren book I read. Unfortunately, my excitement ended up being a bit premature, as I did not enjoy this book nearly as much. I had a lot of trouble connecting to James. With all of his protesting about the area Ivy was planning on living, he really came off as arrogant and pretentious, not likeable at all. I honestly think Ivy could have done better and deserves better.

Another unexpectedly big issue for me was the age difference. Normally, I don’t have much of a problem with a hero and heroine having a large age difference. Here, however, the fact that James knew Ivy when she was in diapers is repeatedly mentioned. With each subsequent mention, the age difference just became creepier and creepier in my head. It’s kind of like how I forget about the age difference between my parents until someone mentions the fact that my dad was learning to drive when my mom was in 2nd grade. As long as that thought remains in my head, the age difference appears creepy. Since the age difference was mentioned so often, I had no opportunity to really forget about it as the book went on.

There was also an issue of pacing. Time skips around a lot. It ends up feeling as if we’re just seeing snippets of Ivy and James’ relationship rather than a coherent whole. The book ends up feeling a little staggered, and because of that, I never really had a good grasp of why Ivy and James were so into each other.

All in all, this book was a disappointment, perhaps made bigger because I was so looking forward to reading something else by Tracy Anne Warren. I’m hoping this was just a fluke and that the next one I read will be more on par with the book I really enjoyed by her. I’m going to keep my fingers crossed!

Notable Scene

He finally broke his silence when they reached her apartment door. “What time should I come by to pick you up tomorrow night?”

Six thirty, she thought. Six thirty, so we’ll have time for a quick dinner before the concert.

But instead of those simple, nonconfrontational words, some devil prompted her to say something else.

“You still want to go to the concert, then? I thought maybe you’d decided to pick Parson up at the airport instead and spend the evening entertaining her.”

His jaw tightened, his blue eyes turning hard. “I wasn’t, but it can always be arranged.”

She knew she should back down, knew she should do whatever it took to end their fight, to smooth over the angry words and nasty silences. But her feelings were hurt, and damned if she was going to let him treat her like some spoiled child who didn’t enjoy sharing her toys.

She squared her shoulders and looked him in the eye. “If that’s what you’d rather, it won’t put me out. Fred can use your ticket. He’s been salivating over the concert ever since he heard I was going. He’s a nice guy. You’d like Fred.”

For a moment James looked ready to explode. Then it passed, a chill sweeping into his eyes. “I sincerely doubt that, but it doesn’t matter. If you don’t want to go to the concert with me, that’s fine. Good night, Ivy.”

He turned and strode down the hall toward the elevator.

When he was gone, she closed the door and leaned back against it, tears already sliding down her cheeks. God above, what have I done?

FTC Advisory Penguin/Signet provided me with a copy of The Man Plan. No goody bags, sponsorships, “material connections,” or bribes were exchanged for my review.
