The Girl On The Bus is a short story delving into the theme of BDSM, which from my non-author perspective seems like a hard theme to fit into a small word limit. However, Raven McAllan has written a book which had everything I was looking for.As much as I like hot books like this, I’m always wanting to find a plot mixed in too because some authors tend to miss this out so I feel like I’m reading porn and not a book. However, this wasn’t the case with The Girl On The Bus and I really liked the actual story.I also kind of felt myself falling a little bit in love with Tay! The way Raven wrote Julia’s description of him really made me love his character.So I enjoyed the plot and the hot scenes, and I liked the characters. The way Raven McAllan so easily drew me in to the book is why I will read more from her.However, I did feel like The Girl On The Bus could have been helped by being read over again before it was published, as at the beginning especially, there were a few grammar mishaps which might have helped it flow a little better if they’d been corrected.Putting the grammar aside, I thought the book was really enjoyable and as much as I’m not a great fan of short stories, I thought the length of The Girl On The Bus worked well. Overall, this is a quick read which will keep you enthralled throughout and probably leave you wanting more.*I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
