Review: Expected much more, a let down...

I have read all of the books in the Edge of Honour series that this novella belongs to and like lots of other Lori Foster fans I was waiting with bated breath for Chris's story. I have to say that I was really disappointed with What Chris Wants. It was short and lacked an emotional depth to it that made what happened seem quite superficial and it also seemed as if everything was done to create a quick fix for the story that fans had been crying out for. Perhaps we the fans should take note that if someone doesn't write gay romance/erotica then don't ask them for it.Contrary to the other books in the series with the male/female pairings there was no lovemaking in the entire four chapters. All we get is the aftermath, the waking up in bed and I guess that we the readers were supposed to fill in the blanks. I don't like filling in the blanks in stories - that is what the story is supposed to be for, to help the reader to get the emotional connection between the characters. I wanted to know much more about the depth of the relationship between Chris and Matt, not be told that it was so and take the authors word for it. Chris's actions and his demeanour were also out of character with the Chris that we got to know in the books - and that was put down to his emotional quandry, but that too was a cop out on the authors part.I expected so much more from this story and unfortunately What Chris Wants did not deliver.
