I know that I haven’t posted anything recently but that is all because I have been trying to make it through this semester in school. I am almost done 2 more exams and then I have one more semster before graduation! Woo Hoo!! Even with all that going on I have still found the time to read a few books. I found this series written by an author that I have read before. Her other books were great so I had no reason to bought that these wouldn’t be good too. But WOW! This book was not a romance novel it was a sex book. In every chapter there was sex and once you to got to the end there was still more sex. I k
now that I like romance novels but there still needs to be a story there. Not just two people meet and then there is sex going on. I skipped reading half the book because I was just trying to find the story in the book. If I could I’d like to get my money back. Anyone can write a steamy sex scene but it takes an author to write a romance novel. There has to be a memorable meeting and a building attraction to one another, there should be a fight for affections. That’s what makes a good romance.
I like mine to have a murder mystery vibe to them too. Rachel Gibson wrote a great short series which was about 4 authors that were friends and each book goes into one of their lives. The best part is that each book is written in the style of that particular author, a True Crime, Murder Mystery, Romance and Science Fiction. These are great books! At least in my opinion. That is the beauty of reading though, what I like others might not.
However if there is no story to follow then you might as well just call the book porn. It’s books like that, that give Romance Novels a bad name. That is what most people already think about Romance Novels, so books like that are just perpetuating the cycle. Come on authors do you really think that is a good book? Having read other stories that are soo much better than this book to me it just seems like laziness on the authors part. I need a book with more substance than just sex. Books like this are the bad side to Romance Novels.
