Im going to have to pass on this one since im no much into romance novels, you mentioned that the novel lacks plot and personality wich are the aspects that i care the most on the books i read. Thank you for your thorough review anyway.

Thank you for your review, I dont like this kind of romance stories, i can see why you gave this book 2 out of 4 stars, by the way you described it i can see it doesnt appeal to me in any way specially being a 300 page book.

Thank you for sharing your lovely review, as always.
I usually find that my biggest issue when reading is if the characters are not personality developed, I can't relate.

The premise sounds intriguing. Too bad the book is lacking in plot and personality. The book isn't my cup of tea, but it sounds like a book with a potential. Thank you for the review!

Well-considered opinion. Really helps with making decisions. I read nearly all kinds so long as a book has heart and heft. This sounds a bit too anemic for my taste.

Such a well-written and thorough review! Lack of character development can completely ruin a book. Thank you for such an honest review.

Thank you for your frank review. As a reviewer I understand how challenging it can sometimes be. As a reader I appreciate the honesty because who wants to spend money on a book that is seriously lacking. It sounds like this book could have stopped after chapter eight. I know that this is not the book for me. I have a big problem with no character development and weak heroines. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the honest thorough review. This really sounds like a love at first sight type of story which I am usually not a fan of. Great review!

Your review tells me exactly what kind of book I can expect when I sample this one, and that's exactly what I needed it to do. Thanks! I'm left with just one question: why the decaf coffee at the meet-cute?

Thanks for the honest review. It sounds like a dry romance. But I will find that out later.

Thanks for the review. When I first read the sample, I thought I might like it; but then I thought no. Your review just went along with my first impression. I like romance novels too, it's a shame; I do know how hard it is to get everything right. I don't know if this is a first book for the author; I'm sure having growing pains myself, so I can understand the struggle.

Your review of this was so honest! I do like romance, but I need character development and I need the plot to propel me through the book. I'm not sure if this is the one for me either.

Latest Review: "Dragon Born" by Ela Lourenco

Post by Rachaelamb1 »

It sounds like a book where I'd like to read the beginning, but since there's no real conflict happening, I would never be able to finish the book!

On another note, I like that the author keeps the romance clean. That is the only kind of romance I will read, but since there are so few clean romances I usually don't read this genre at all.
