My Most Precious One by Evangelene Blog Tour

Alexia, Lexi to all her friends, lived her life her way. Even if it meant putting aside her dreams and dealing with her overbearing mother. She loved the world she had created for herself as a waitress in a chic Montréal bistro. Until one day a businessman comes into the bistro and challenges the life she’s come to love.

She’s caught between her desire for him and the desire to protect what she herself has created. He is domineering and strong with all his wealth and power, as he unapologetically pursues her.

Should she give in? Should she set aside who she is and be with him in his world?

Lukas Blakk is exactly what Lexi has always wanted but the man has a past that Lexi might not be ready for.

Evangelene was born and raised in Montreal Canada. She currently lives with her husband who at times drives her nuts. She has been studying Classical Civilization and Linguistics at Concordia University for over ten years. The pull of the ancient world was too great for her to let go, so she continues her education to feel closer to the world she identifies with. She reads nonstop, devouring books like its food, loving the feeling of being lost in a world that another author has created. Evangelene started writing her stories ten years ago to express and bring to life all the wonderful characters that inhabit her imagination. She writes for herself and invites readers to join her journey.

4 Stars.
I struggled between 3-4 stars.
I didn't immediately get drawn into this story, and had it not been for a review I probably would have given up on it.
The main character is way too dramatic for my taste, Lexi has her good qualities, she's loyal, doesn't take crap from people, but she's also stubborn, too stubborn. It took way too much push/pull to get her to agree to anything. I love a strong heroine but she pushed my buttons, I really liked her from the beginning but she became a little annoying at times with her inability to stop being a stubborn brat.
Lukas is straight up ALPHA MALE. Just like a I like them, he is a bit more intense in the beginning than I usually like, his whole MINE was sexy yet a bit much at the same time. Don't get me wrong, alpha is sexy, alpha is a major turn on for me in a book but he jumped straight into claiming Lexi infront of others without more than a generic date and basically stalking her.
I did enjoy the book just not as much as I'd hoped. I think with a few small tweaks it could be a 5 star book easily and the story had enough potential that I will look for more work by this author to see how her writing evolves.
