Review: Ava Stone Has Got It Going On - 4.5 Stars
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 01 5, 2013
I think I've read all of the "Scandalous" series of books by Ms Stone now and for me, all of them were worthy reads. I can only think of maybe 3 other romance novel writers I can say that about. After finishing this book, I am now going back and re-reading "A Scandalous Wife" which I read last year (I think). Reading this one made me want to "re-visit" the other characters in Ms Stone's books that I've read.I don't have any authors on "auto buy" but I must say that I hardly even read the reviews for Ms Stone's books now because I know I'm going to get a good to excellent story.I usually avoid writing reviews for books because they are so subjective. My telling anyone that I liked a book is not helpful unless you know me very well and know my taste.Here are the things I like to know about a book prior to buying:1. This is not Christian fiction. I am a Christian but I'm not wild about Christian fiction and it seems like it's sometimes "hidden" when you are reading the blurb and you don't realize the religious aspects until you've already spent your money. That's kind of a pet peeve for me because I read fiction for entertainment and that is what this book is. Pure entertainment.2. Yes there is some sex in this story. I would term it as "R" rated and it's not gratuitous. It just goes along with the relationship between the hero and heroine.3. This story does not strain the bounds of credibility. It makes sense and is cohesive and I didn't find that there were tons of loose ends. I recently read a book where the hero would repeatedly go into a room he kept locked and stay in there for hours at a time and when the book ended, the author never explained why! I hate when that happens. I've never read one of Ava Stone's books where things didn't make sense and were never explained.I think the blurb for this book is pretty much spot on so I'm not going to go over the plot here. I don't think this book is for everyone but as romance novels go, I enjoyed it. I felt it was worth my time and money enough that now that I've read all the Scandalous Series books, I'm going to check out the author's other works.
