Interesting characters

Revisado: 05-03-25

The narrator drove me nuts with the strange starts and stops. It’s as though someone told her to pause between words where no one would pause naturally. Makes me worried she’s out of breath.

Elegant plot

Revisado: 03-29-25

Very well written, would go well as a screenplay. Would be proud to do as well.

Wanted to like this, but no.

Revisado: 01-22-25

Content and delivery was super dull. The story was also populated with several unappealing characters. Difficult to want to be immersed in this world.

Pretty dismal and dark

Revisado: 10-22-24

Tone and content is far more depressing than most novels of this genre. Also, zero female character development.

Cringe! Couldn’t stomach the male narrator

Revisado: 09-12-24

I’d suggest they try to re-do the narration. I’m afraid it ruins what might otherwise be an ok story.

Not romantic; somehow both repulsive and dull.

Revisado: 05-31-24

In other romance stories there is some conflict or tension preventing the lovers from getting together, but the actions of the lovers have to be forgivable so that we readers will see the characters as good enough foe the partner and to deserve a happy ending. In this story the hero keeps doing and saying things the author seems to think equate to being decent, but which (at least by modern standards) would seem at the least wildly inconsiderate and probably abusive. The tension and actions taken aren’t exciting so much as plain ugly and brutal. I had trouble believing this was written by a woman, for instance, when an attempted gang rape is sloughed off very casually. It’s moments later, and the heroine is just super grateful and loving, not at all traumatized, and the hero isn’t at all concerned how she might be feeling. Threats and actual assaults happen with low provocation, too. After scenes like those, I just couldn’t get interested in the couple’s supposed happily ever after. Just couldn’t buy it.

Distracting inflection

Revisado: 03-21-24

I am never picky about the voice performer. In this case, I just couldn’t get past the distracting way the reader inserts up-and down inflections (if that’s the word for it) at seemingly random points in most sentences. Result is that statements sound like questions and there’s just a strange cadence. Voice acting is otherwise good, but the inflections threw me off.

Cringy, angry sexist “hero”

Revisado: 12-09-23

Guess I’d have to agree with the title — main character wasn’t my kind of hero. Parts of the book sound like the author is trying to be feminist, but really thinks romance is finding a hostile cowboy who seems to like the female lead only due to physical attraction.

Not appealing — kind of dull

Revisado: 11-27-23

I found it pretty disappointing that the heroine seemed so dim. Plot seemed lackluster, too. For instance, the author describes the romantic hero as beautiful, gorgeous, etc., but doesn’t build out the description of what makes the female lead see him that way… for example the particular characteristics she’s focusing on, or the deeds or words that triggered her seeing him as exceptional. The problems didn’t seem unique or interesting, either. The writing just wasn’t my cup of tea, I guess.

Sudden simplistic tie-up

Revisado: 06-04-23

One of the things I enjoy moss about reading mysteries is following the clues, seeing in the end how the mystery is resolved and everything makes sense in a way meaningful to the story. This one wasn’t super interesting, then the killer suddenly outs themself and the case is closed. Disappointing and definitely not as good as others in this series.
