Review: Too short for romance
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 05 14, 2013
This novella at just fewer than fifty pages is too short to do any justice to being as described a steamy romance.  It comes across as soft porn.  Eve, the lead character is complaining that it has been almost a year and wonders if she will be celibate forever, to the point of seriously considering going on another date with her last partner despite how bad the sex was on their second date all those months ago.  But she is saved from that mistake by jumping into bed with her former mentor who left her pining two years before to attempt to save his marriage one last time. She has been emotionally wounded by this former mentor and has abandonment and trust issues with him, but needs it so badly that she forces him into a one night stand.  I'll call SPOILER ALERT but we all know romances end happily ever after... she forgives him in a heartbeat and they move in together.  I will leave off discussing Eve's issues and opinion of their future success.I just can't see the romance here.  I prefer the author's Donovan Series.Format: Borrowed ebook
