Snippet Reviews: The Fetish Box 1 & 2

Snippet Reviews are books too small for their own full blown reviews.

I'm putting these two together because they literally cut the book off mid-sentence from book 1 then pick right back up in the same place in book two, then do it again for book two to book three. I didn't go past book two. Chapter books annoy me!!  Now the premise sounds so cool

An enchanting eBook debut about a world where your fantasies come true and nothing is quite what it seems. Come on in to realize your heart’s darkest desire...Virginal twenty-two-year-old Mary has just inherited a sex shop in Florida from her mother. After a long drive from California, she arrives at her deceased mother’s house only to be confronted immediately with two equally sexy strangers: the strong, silent John and the irre verent, taunting Max. She’s innocent, almost completely untouched, but feels a completely uncharacteristic pull to each man. Shocking even herself, she realizes it’s not an unwelcome desire.Max is a playboy who knows how to give women what they want, but John… John might just be able to give Mary something even she doesn’t know she needs… 
So yeah she inherits a sex shop and boom we are in the story.   It starts off as a good basis for the novel and I was all in for it because at first it's all light and fluffy and then she meets Max, not FIVE minutes later he's got his hands down er pants, and not in the OMGawd he's so hot lets throw caution to the wind sexy stuff, no it's I'm a creep who just met you let me back you up to the counter and maul you, because it's sexy. NO SIR

I'm not a fan of Max, the other characters don't have a favorable view of him either.  I do however like the premise and what seems like a good heating up possible romance between Mary and John.  I do like the sound of it, and I want to finish it. Although I'm not happy they cut off in the middle of a scene to end the book.
Book Title: Fetish Box Book 2: What Escapes
Author: Nicole Camden  |Website| Facebook|

Genre: Erotica Romance

The breathtaking second installment in the Fetish Box eBook series…open the box and see what escapes…Mary is surprised by the deep feelings that follow in the wake of her first sexual encounter, but fascination with her lover John doesn’t dim her desire for the unapologetically lusty Irish bar-owner, Max. Feeding one hunger has unleashed other needs, and Mary wants to experience everything her new life has to offer 
 ...WTF?!!! They literally cut the book off in mid-sentence, not even in a cool cliffhanger way, just...YEAH NO. Especially because of the way it was ended, that scene with that character??? I'm so done, I don't even want to know what happens next.

I dislike Max and the female character.. what's her name again? Mary yeah, at first she had a personality now she's just blahhhhh.  I like John as a character, Mary could be better, where is the witty girl from book one?? Look just because your mom was one way doesn't mean you have to do it the same exact way. I personally liked the side characters more than I liked the lead. I'm just ugh this book is so boring.
This is going to be for both little novellas:  The covers are pretty, the premise steamy, execution?? NOPE!!
★1/2☆
I'm so glad I went with my initial thought, I despise Max, especially after the last few pages before the end. Hell No will not be continuing this series. I'm done, don't recommend at all.  Have you read these books?? Chapter Books?? Maybe if I read the whole book it wouldn't be so bad??? I don't know y'all share in the comments section and let me know what you think.
