I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.The blurb appealed to me when I was looking for books to request on Netgalley and I must say that I was expecting something else.The writing style of the author is quite flawless so I can’t – and won’t – rate The Virginity Mission badly. That being said, I didn’t enjoy this story all that much. Half of the time I was bored, missing something to make this whole book more addictive.There are too many descriptions and while I love descriptions, this time around I think they mostly broke the rhythm of the story. The whole expedition thing could have been more thrilling and even interesting to see more of the interactions between the people in Mac’s group. Instead there are more descriptions.Also, we still don’t know a thing about Fiona. There were a few hints about her character and I thought that there would be more about her, but not at all, which means that I don’t understand her purpose all that much.The chemistry between Mac and Jason was good enough, but nothing that will stay with me now that I’m finished reading. It’s too bad because when you’re reading that kind of book, what you’re primarily looking for is a strong and sizzling kind of chemistry between the lead characters. At least, that’s what I’m looking for.I hate writing such a review because the author is really talented, but I think the plot and characterization are a miss for me. It happens and believe me, it’s difficult for me too.This novel is not long, the writing is great and maybe Mac and Jason’s story will win you over more than it did it for me.Let me know what you think about it.
