Review: Not my kind of story.  It's written for sex.  Not enough character and plot.  Did not finish.

LOVING HART by Ella Fox.The beginning was interesting, young children being abused and raising each other.  But the story about their grown up love lives - no.The sex scenes are detailed and some very long.  For some readers that's good.  But I couldn't get into them.  I skimmed them.  I like books with sex, so that's not the problem.At 62% I couldn't make myself read anymore, so I skipped to the last chapter and was done.CAUTION SPOILERS:One part of the plot was unpleasantly unbelievable.  Spencer and Delilah have an amazing month together with sex, she loses her virginity to him.  They want to be together forever but decide to wait two years until she graduates college, so her brothers won't be angry.  During those two years Spencer has sex with other women - to tide him over - although he is madly in love with Delilah.  What strange fidelity.  What if they were married and one was in the military and stationed overseas for two years?  Does that mean Spencer should have sex with others?  He said he didn't enjoy it.  But his actions did not reflect "his love."  I don't mind a hero with flaws if he redeems himself or acknowledges problems.  But this wasn't painted as a flaw.  I don't know what it was.  I think it was doing something for the convenience of the author - without supporting motivations.  Of course Delilah sees Spencer with one of these women which causes a problem.Then we have "the big misunderstanding" which made me furious.  This is one of those: if one person would say one honest sentence there would be no misunderstanding.  He thinks she is seeing someone (which she is not).  So he goes to her and says I can't take this anymore and walks away.  She thinks he is breaking up with her, and she says nothing.  Because she says nothing he continues to believe the wrong thing. Unh.  Now wait a minute, he was seeing many someones, but he can't take it when he imagines she might be doing that?DATA:Narrative mode: 1st person switching between Spencer and Delilah.
