When I first picked up Raw Emotions, I wasn’t sure what I was getting into. I am not usually a reader of books focused on romance, but a few reviews here on Amazon said that there was aspects of the novelette that a man would enjoy. As I read through the story, I have to say that I was moved by Patricia Martin’s prose and ability to convey convincing emotion through her words.The dialogue is expertly crafted. It flows, changing with the tone and pacing of the story in various places. In parts, the style of wording and prose feels a bit spartan, but that is a good thing – it makes the story feel realistic, and takes you on a journey through the wonderful sensory descriptions and feelings that the author offers us.The main characters, Trudy and Rick, are each interesting. I’m not entirely sure that I understood the vibe stuff going on with Trudy, to be honest. It did put a fun twist on things occasionally, but I would have preferred to see it toned down a bit. As for Rick, being a man, I identified with him far more. His tribulations throughout the story reached me, and the way he develops alongside Trudy sets this novelette apart from others like it.I would definitely suggest this story to anyone who enjoys romantic fiction, and especially to women who like their reading a bit dirty!
