Rocky Ride: Thompson & Sons 1, Vivian ArendReview from Jeannie Zelos book reviewsI’ve read several of Vivian’s paranormal books, but not any of hercontemporary romance. KnowingI’ve enjoyed her writing styleI liked the sound of this so requested it. Sadly, thoughit was well writtenit justdidn’t really grip me. The sex side was hot, but the actual romance just didn’t work for me. I didn’t feel any magic connection between the characters, and didn’t really get into the setting and the other people within it. It’s the same world as the Six Pack Ranch series, so maybe readers who’ve enjoyed that and feel they know the characters involved will get more from this book. Somehow though for me,I just didn’t really feel that Mitch was a real Bad Boy, sure he’s got tattoos and rides a bike, likes a bit of speed but that seemed to be all. The problems at the scrapyardI felt were overkill, and the police were unduly harsh. For that kind of response there needed to be more suspicious dealings on his part than the simple errors that were found.Similarly Anna, sounded like she was hiding him and there romancefor the sake of her career, and yetI didn’t feel she was that ambitious. She enjoyed her job, didn’t want to let the uniform down, but it wasn’t the be all and end all of life for her. Maybe its just me? I’m sure this book will have devotees, its hot and erotic at points, and well written of course, simply the plot that failed to make a great book for me.Stars: three, its an ok read, a good book, just not a great one for me. remember though– horses for courses....ARC supplied via Netgalley
