I definately see that. The romance aspect seemed to be adolescent crippled with the fact that her other books are romance. I felt like the romance part could have been better. Perhaps the book would have been better if it were longer, so the adventure part of the story could have shown through better.Miriam Molina wrote: ↑14 Aug 2018, 12:51 I think that's Belle Ami's style. Based on the books she has on the site, that's how I read her: a romance thriller writer. I, too, would have wanted more action outside the bedroom.

I'm about 75% done with it, and I have to say, it's a romance story, not an action story. It seems like a good romance, so if that's your thing, this is definitely worth reading, but if you want to pick it up for the mystery of the painting, well, that seems more rushed than the sex.

Even as someone who considers themselves a big fan of romance novels, I found the sex scenes to be way too much. Once they became a couple, everything was about their romantic relationship. I’m sure that could have been great for some people, but it didn’t work for me. The romance genre is definitely about sex to a certain degree, but it still has to be character and plot driven to make the sex more than just straight erotica. And this book sort of fell a little short on the character end.David Horta Alonso wrote: ↑15 Aug 2018, 00:43 There's excessive indulgence in the sex scenes. Lovers of romance novel would find this thrilling. I think the sex scenes were too much and unethical.

I agree with you. I don't mind sex scenes in the books I read. But it did seem like they spent just as much time, if not more, in the bedroom. It may even border on gratuitous. I think the author did a great job conveying the passion Angela and Alex have towards each other. But it was a little excessive. Less could be more in this case.AshEileen2013 wrote: ↑14 Aug 2018, 11:59 I absolutely don't mind reading sexual interactions, but did anyone else find these encounters rushed. I felt like I was reading a teenagers work in most of the scenes and for how short and snippy they were, there was way too much of it. I felt like the novel was more about the sex once we hit the middle than about the actual adventure in the book.
