Review: A Little Disappointing

-- SPOILER ALERT!!! ---I'm a huge fan of the "Sweet Seduction" series. I was really looking forward to reading Kelly's story. As always, the hotness between the H/h was off the charts. That being said, I was a little disappointed with book 6.The presence of all the supporting characters was missing which is too bad since having them all there enriches the story even more. I love it when they get together. While there was romance and some action, I found it lacking with respect to an intriguing story. While there was some action towards the end, it didn't feel very suspenseful. Yes, there's the whole hostage situation near the end, but when compared to the previous novels in the series, I found it lacking. It was just sex, sex, sex. Hey, I love reading hot, sizzling sexcapades, and Nicola Claire really rocks when she writes them, but this was overkill. More than half the book is about them being together and having sex in their bed, and places where they could be caught; and then the last part is them weaving thru building ducts trying to escape thugs who've taken over the District Court Building. Throughout this they're both learning more about each other, etc. etc. etc. As much as I learned about Kelly and Drew, they still came across to me as almost empty; like something was missing. Yes, I know they talked about their lives and feelings, but I can't help but feel that compared to the other couples, they were a little boring. (I hope I'm making sense.) All the previous heroines all seemed to have a huge secret, or someone they were deathly afraid of, or running away from. I think that's what's missing here. Kelly's story wasn't surprising or shocking. Before anyone jumps down my throat on this, I just want to say that I'm not making light of her past (or anyone else for that matter who went thru the same thing). I'm just saying that compared to the other women, her father walking out on her and her mother wasn't as suspenseful. That's it, nothing more. I also found it hard to believe that once Kelly gave up the four men she always had sex with, them and the many others, that in a matter of a couple of days she fell in love with Drew. For sure I could feel the love Drew had for Kelly, as it had been growing since he first saw her. But for someone who was trying to clean up her life and discover who she is, it felt unrealistic, all of it moving too fast. At the end of the day, although I didn't love book 6 like I did the previous books (except book 4), I didn't hate it. No matter, I'm sure there will be many others who'll end up loving it. I still recommend this series, and I look forward to book 7, which can't come soon enough. I just hope there's more suspense, and intrigue, and as always, hot, sizzling passion between Eric and his girl.
