Cruel Money by K.A. Linde

 

  

Lose yourself to the dark and glamorous underbelly of the Upper East Side in USA Today bestselling author K.A. Linde's new billionaire romance Cruel Trilogy.
She was supposed to be a one night stand.
A way to sate my sexual appetite.
I let her glimpse the man I am.
The face that I hide behind my carefully cultivated life.
But she ripped open that divide--and there's no going back.
Now, she's here.
In my city.
I don't care that I'm Manhattan royalty and she's the help.
Only that she's living in my summer home. With me. And I want more.

This book was everything. I can't stop thinking about it. Cruel Money is book one in the Cruel series. There is a prequel (One Cruel Night) and I highly recommend reading it, though it is not required. It gives you context of what happened six years ago before Cruel Money starts. 

Natalie has her dream job. She gets to travel the world and house sit for the rich and famous all while getting to do her true passion, write. Natalie didn't come from a wealthy background. She's just your normal every day woman with goals and dreams. I adore Natalie. She's strong and witty and down to earth. Penn grew up with extreme wealth. Not everything that glitters is gold though. I actually really liked Penn. He's smart and super sexy. He has a rough exterior but on the inside he's soft and sweet.

Cruel Money is a unique plot that has everything. Backstabbing, lies, laughs, and steaminess that's off the charts. From the very beginning you know there are many secrets between all the characters and I couldn't read fast enough to see what was going to be revealed. Linde as always do a great job of making you feel so many emotions when it comes to the story and the characters. Some you will love, some you will hate. K.A. Linde makes me crave the angst and then breaks my heart all at the same time. I can't wait for the rest of this series to be released because I have to know how it all plays outs!
