Review: Falls flat in more ways than one

This was okay, but certainly not a favorite.  The story could have been much better if the characters were given more dimension and the story had been drawn out more.  As it was, Leda fell completely flat for me and was obnoxiously catty towards Kyle for no apparent reason on several occasions, which I think was a failed attempt to make her more interesting.  Didn't work.  And Kyle wasn't given enough attention to make me really care much about him, which sucked because it could have been a really heartbreaking story if there was more time in the story about his ordeal.  Everything was just kind of forced and I didn't feel any of the emotions because it was all just told to the reader instead of explained in any detail.  And let's face it, we all read these romance novels for the same reasons; a story that draws us in, captivating characters, and some STEAMY love scenes.  In Winter Affair, the story wasn't played out well, the characters were boring, and frankly even the love scenes were seriously lacking.  Read something by Julie James and then pick this up, and you'll completely understand my point!!
