This was a freebie that popped up on my Goodreads feed the other day so I snagged it. It was free. The blurb sounded good, I wanted some steam and overall I figured I didn’t have anything to lose except some time. I didn’t hate it but I for sure didn’t love it. First and foremost I will state if you are going to include animals in your book you need to treat them right. That means, they need to go outside even if you are broken hearted and never, ever do you just not come home. If you aren’t going to care for your animals in the book why include them at all? Ok, that kind of really bugged me. Back to the review. I don’t like to leave bad reviews of books but do like to state my opinion. I just didn’t like Beth. I didn’t understand where she was coming from. It wasn’t until the very end that we learned what really happened in her past to make her who she was now but it just didn’t add up for me. So, not liking the main character makes it a little bit hard to like the book. I felt so bad for Jake. I don’t even know why he put up with what he did or how he did. The steamy scenes were pretty good and for a freebie I guess that makes it worth it!
Read. Book Reviews by Jennifer
Read. Read. Read. I have been a reader since I learned how. It’s what I do. Everything else is kind of secondary, but shhh, that is just between us! I can’t actually remember any time in my life where I didn’t read. I am an addict and do not hide it or am I looking for a cure. I love reading so much I just got Read. tattooed on my arm so I can see it when I read.
I love reading books that have romance in them. They can have whatever else they want to but I love to have at least a touch of romance. Of course, I love a full blown romance too! I am not a big fan of real life stories or stories that rip my heart out. Too much emotion hurts my heart and I read for an escape. I also try to stay away from overly dark reads. There is a fine line that I walk and if I consider something that seems out of my comfort zone I have to read a lot of reviews and talk to other readers first.
When I am not reading I am very active on Goodreads. Reading reviews, writing reviews and chatting about books is second best to the actual reading. I don’t know how I lived without Goodreads. If I could go back in time and catalog everything I have ever read I would know true happiness. One day I would at least like to get all the books I own added to Goodreads. I have always been obsessed with keeping track. I always had lists with me so I knew what I read, what I wanted to read and what I owned. Now having one place to do this and with friends is amazing!
I try to review everything I read. I don’t usually provide a synopsis on my review; I focus more on what I honestly thought about the book. This opinion could at times be very long winded or sometimes just a sentence or two. I love reading and love to share my thoughts with others. Hopefully it will help them decide they also want to read the book. I will never be one of those amazing reviewers. You know the ones that I mean, you can’t miss them. But I do read daily and usually have something to say about the book that I read.
