Review: I Expected More!!!
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 06 23, 2014
This was the first book I've read by Emily Snow and don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad but I had a total different expectation after reading the blurb. I wanted angst, raw emotions, struggle ...just more feelings throughout the book - but all this, I didn't really get.The writing was good but I wasn't really glued to my kindle.The blurb, the prologue, and even some of the flashbacks were promising but all this fell short because Evelyn and Rhys 'relationship' didn't take over the majority of the book. I've read a lot what was going on with her college friends, a bit of her family drama, and about her best friend. How she wrecked things was mentioned, too, but it rather left me feel cold than evoke a reaction out of me. I couldn't really connect or get attached with Evelyn's pain and heartache - same goes with Rhys'. We learn his family isn't as perfect either (as learned in the blurb) but all the talking was superficial; it lacked on depths for me.Their steamy encounters were indeed STEAMY but that's it.I wished and wanted more from the book; sure, that's just my opinion and many rated it 5 stars but I expected more, especially after reading such a blurb.This doesn't mean I won't keep an eye out for Ms Snow's other books, or that you won't like her book; just that this one wasn't very satisfying for me.
