Review: Little Bird
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 10 13, 2013
Originally published at Rookie Romance.Little Bird had an intriguing start, and had the promise of suspense, sex and love. It delivers on these promises- especially the sex!Savannah is a pretty feisty woman. On the surface she may come across as a little reserved, but once her defences are lowered, she's a lot more open.Lee is blunt, domineering and a little crude, but he makes no apologies for how he is. It's refreshing to know what he's thinking and that he's not shrouded in mystery, but he could be a bit overbearing at times. Something Savannah points out numerous times!The sex scenes felt like they were the main attraction of the book. They were well-written and super steamy. I enjoyed the progression in Lee and Savannah's sexual relationship, from sexy times at home to the scene at the club. Although I enjoyed these scenes, it had a tendency to overshadow the rest of the plot.The story with Cara and the senator could have been more developed. It wasn't very well-explained at the end, and a bit too neatly wrapped up and ignored.My biggest problem in the book, and the reason I haven't given it a higher rating, is that the romance between Lee and Savannah was way too insta-love for me. I understand that it was an intense situation so emotions would probably develop quicker anyway, but everything just moved so quickly between them and it felt too unrealistic. Despite this, I liked how intensely they felt about each other.Overall, I liked the book, despite having a few issues. It's well written and suspenseful- and of course, super sexy! For a debut book especially, brava Liza Gaines.*I received a review copy from the tour operator, for my honest review. Thank you!
