A deep, dark part of me also likes the bad, manipulative side to Fisher’s thinking. What? A girl is allowed to be bad every once in awhile 😉 ~ Under the Covers

THE OPPORTUNIST caught my eye for a variety of reasons. Firstly, I love the covers and had heard a lot of buzz surrounding this series. People told me, “be ready to fall in love with Caleb” and also, “be ready to love and hate these characters simultaneously”, which only made me want to read this more.

I started with the first chapter, like you do with all books and didn’t really stop until the very end. Fisher has a unique voice that is both entertaining and damn hilarious. I loved being in Olivia’s head, even though there were times when she does or thinks crazy things.

The thing that made me devour this book was learning what happened in Olivia and Caleb’s past that changed everything about them. I needed to know this with a passion. But I realized that getting there, and learning about their past as the story went on, it turned out to be highly entertaining and fun.

I LOVED Olivia and Caleb together. They had great chemistry, and when you factor in Leah, it just turned up the drama to a whole other notch. Usually, I’m not one for dramatics. I don’t need all the girlish drama and fighting over a man. But I think this worked for me because I actually believed in what romance Olivia and Caleb had in this book.

That being said, I’m curious how I will feel after I read DIRTY RED, because if this book turned out to be so good, even with a manipulative heroine, I wonder how Fisher will pull off Leah’s character.

On top of all that, a deep, dark part of me also likes the bad, manipulative side to Fisher’s thinking. What? A girl is allowed to be bad every once in awhile 😉

  1. Great review! I don’t usually like tat much drama, but I loved this series!
    I agree with you about Olivia and Caleb’s romance.
    While I have a strong dislike for Leah, I really enjoyed Dirty Red also. 🙂
    A whole lot of craziness ensues.
    I hope you enjoy the rest of the series!
    Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

  2. “be ready to love and hate these characters simultaneously” – I heard a lot about this book,and this was one of the most common comment I read about The Opportunist,also ratings,reviews on goodreads are very,very good 🙂
    But somehow this book still didn’t find the right moment,I hope that this moment will be very soon 🙂

    There is one thought of Alain de Botton, which says:
    “Most of what makes a book ‘good’ is that we are reading it at the right moment for us.”

    Excellent review Ann! 🙂
