Review: Shows Promise

I thought the story was good and very well written but it lacked something for me. There was no real drama or mystery - the story felt a bit flat. On the plus side, Aura is a wonderfully strong character even though the adversity she faces on a daily basis would easily overwhelm many of us. Her family and weight/health issues are significant but she fights hard not to become a typical tragic figure. She also fights to understand and accept the attention and obvious devotion that the extremely attractive Alpha-to-be, Jonas, shows her. Jonas's best friend and Beta-to-be, Brody, is a very likable secondary character.I think this relatively short story is worth reading. The series shows promise but I hope that the future installments will have more tension, action and/or drama in order to punch up the excitement level...or maybe this series just isn't for me - we'll see. I'm sure others will enjoy Bold & Beautiful, especially those looking for a relatively tame, sweet and inspiring romance. Love the cover!
