Review: Half A Sandwhich
Rating: 3 out of 5

Liked the premise. I don't often see m/m interracial romances so I was half sold. Then all the good reviews convinced me to try it. This book could have been so much better! Thankfully, it mostly avoided cliches, but for a novel with little plot, it also left out all but the most cursory psychological development. The good stuff! These guys were physically hot for each other. That was made clear. But where's the emotional resonance? Where's the passion? Where is the mutual yearning for the other? Even if it's writ small and subtle, isn't that what romance readers crave? At some point, I just had to accept at face value that once the author had the MCs say The L Word to each other, it was so. But I didn't feel it so much.Could be I'm being too hard on this book. It was written well enough. It's an easy read. Must be edited okay because I don't remember any howlers. I liked the MCs. So three stars. But it just felt like eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with half the jelly missing. And it ended too abruptly though, never fear, there is a HEA.
