Review: An Entertaining, if Predictable, Love Story with Hot Love Scene Described in 'Romancese'.
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 02 8, 2014
I enjoyed reading this story. I'm particularly interested in `Stranded in a Cabin' romances at this time so I was especially interested in this story line and setting. I really liked the setting descriptions. The love scene was also well written with the anatomical terms described in typical romance genre euphuisms. The magical nature of the special occasion trumped the mechanics of the erotic experience. Experienced romance fans should enjoy the author's skill in doing this. The setting and the love scene are the strong points in this story.My major objection to the story is how long it took for the hero and heroine to be in the same scene. This is a short romance, a novella, and I believe it took about 18% of the story for the two to meet in the cabin. Even then there was a delay before the heroine actually came in to the cabin to confront the hero.Now, I'm a big fan of backstory because nothing can move a reader faster into a story than well placed backstory. Nevertheless, I like to see the backstory begin after the hero and heroine meet.Again, I enjoyed this story. It was well written and I don't recall seeing any typos. Also, I would read another book by this author but I just might want to read the first few pages first.So there it is: 4 stars. Very good and I believe that this author has many 5 star efforts yet to come. Think of what the ancient Greeks advised: 'start in the middle of things'.
