My Rambles:
It's not that it was a bad book it was just...I don't know...not great either. It was just...good. She wasn't as bad with the descriptive sex in this one even though that last one, I had to skip ahead for about a minute to a minute and a half or so. The overly done sex scenes and just the use of a cringe word for me (the same thing they call a rooster), took it down to a 4 for me. Beyond that, it was still just, okay for me. Which took it down another star or 1.25 stars...which brought it to 2.75. So, it would have maybe been 3 stars if it weren't for the first-mentioned things. The story itself doesn't deserve to be so low even with other flaws that didn't include the overdone sex scenes (no, I'm not so much a prude than me just really not needing all of the erotica type descriptions to get the point that they're having sex/ I mean, I'm 45 years old as of this post with two sons. I get it, folks get it on!).
I used to love Sandra Brown's writing but the last few books I've tried by her just threw me off because of what I already mentioned for what seems to be the millionth time. lol...I gave her another try in hopes that I would find books that weren't so bad. This one was tame compared to whichever it was that I read last time about 3-5 years or so ago. I've been wanting to read Mean Streak for the longest but kept putting it off
Okay, so, how long can I talk about this...you all get it...I didn't like certain aspects of the book. So, I will say, if you love mysteries, love Sandra Brown, don't mind the descriptions of "sexy times" as some say. Then, this book may be more for you. I would still recommend it but with a caution sign.
Happy Reading,
Bridget
