Revival. Noelle Adams.Well, this sounded like a promising romance so eagerly dived in as that's what I was in the mood for, having just finished a complex paranormal. But....well...it Was romance, it was all the things it said it the description and it was just...nice. When I was at school our English teacher used to get really cross with us using certain words. Got and Nice were two of her real no-no's. She said nice was a really vague description - well sadly it fits this book well, its just bland. Its a sweet man meets woman, they're reminded of their childhood and start a romance. And its...nice. Baron is nice, Leila is nice, the twins are nice...the only person who isn't is Baron's brother and we don't see much of him. I was waiting for some drama, something to go wrong, a bit where it would be sadly emotional and make me tearful ( I know. Masochist!)but..all I got was more and more nice. Even the break-up was done in a nice way, and everyone was so understanding it seemed emotionless.So if you want an easy to read, happy ever after romance, with a sweet but very ordinary, basic plot then this book is for you. Me? Sorry but I need more - more depths to the characters, more emotion form them all and a plot that's got more substance. I didn't dislike the book, there wasn't anything to dislike but I just didn't like it either :(It's priced at 1.91 for 258 pages so good value if its the sort of read you want, uncomplicated and easy to follow, sweet romance. Lots of people do - that's why M&B; are so popular, sadly I need more.Stars: 2.5 - it was inoffensive and just OK, not bad just not good either for me, but as always this is a personal view and others have different tastes.NB: ARC provided by Netgalley
