Review: One Hot Historical
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 04 24, 2013
I was not expecting such a raunchy read. This is more a historical than a Regency and is somewhat of a spy vs spy novella. It was short. The craft was good. This could have been an amazing novel, but it was too short, the author barely skimmed the surface of the plot. Instead she focused on the lovemaking between the two leads. Seriously the plot was basically filler in between long sex scenes. Which, ironically were actually the weakest part of the book. For all that she seems to really like writing them, she Isn't very good at it. I prefer my sex to be mature. Parts don't need to have four or five different names just to give variety and I certainly don't need measurements of them. Suggestive statements are so much better, they give me more to imagine myself ie "he filled her completely" is much more to my liking than "he was as long as her hand" it kinda makes me think she actually measured him to see. Which given the circumstances is ridiculous. So poorly done sex scenes aside, this wasn't a bad book.
