Review: short and anticlimactic

My Confession is that this story is short and anticlimactic. This romance by Delaine Roberts is the third book in The Running Series. I must admit I never read book 1 or 2 but even with ample back story supplied in “My Confession,” I still felt disconnected from the story. There were several instances of repeat conversations, as if the characters were forgetful of decisions they made in previous chapters. The story felt microwaved (rushed). However, although I am unsatisfied with this particular book, I can see that the writer is a great story teller and has a knack for creating interesting characters.Harrison Brooks, is a bleeding heart philanthropist who is panning for the attention of the woman he love but ran out on, Monica. The story begins with him helping a young woman with a fresh start in her new life. He continues his charitable was by helping another young woman with medical attention and a place to stay, in his 2 bedroom loft apartment. Although the writer portrays Harrison’s intentions as honorable, the story is just not believable.  As a reader, I can not comprehend how an extremely wealthy man has nothing more to do with his time then have questionably intimate (nonsexual) relationships with young women, and no one in his immediate circle felt it was out of order. On top of all that, Harrison’s past,  holds a truth he’s never shared. Placing further strain in his mind, of having a forever with Monica.The story moves on with the physical introduction of Monica, the feisty and petite herione. She feels the same way about her former lover Harrison, as he does for her. But after seeing him again, Monica puts as much effort as she can with showing him how much she despise the way he ended their relationship. Monica has to make the decision to move pass her hurts or move on to someone new. She also must divulge a secret that may end the promise of a new life together before it begins.for more reviews visit welovekink(dot)comreviewed by Lourdes
