Review: Deeper Bull Needed
Rating: 2 out of 5
Date: 10 30, 2013
What I liked: The idea and the intro are fabulous. Big, sexy, taciturn special ops Bull meets talented, pretty Marly. He suspects her of being a terrorist. Hey, here's a trademark hot Cat Johnson story in the making, with all the conflict built right in. Bull and Marly are thrust together in danger, in a small dark place. She's tied up, he's sure she's a bad girl. Whoa, that's hot.What I didn't like: But then ... he unties her and apologizes. The conflict is gone, baby, gone. They do the predictable. Then he gets hurt and forgets who she is. No spoilers here, as you can read this in the blurb. She's sad. Then he remembers her after all. The End. Phhhhht...Huh? Where's the heart-clenching conflict, where his sexing and forgetting her is The Worst That Could Happen because of some seminal event in her past? Where is his Staggering Guilt because he once did something similar or had it done to him, and it changed his life in a bad way, so This Time He Must Make Good? Where's the depth? I expected more from a man with that chest.
