Mad Love by Colet Abedi 2/5

Mad Love by Colet Abedi

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Sensuality: 8

I just read this one a couple days ago, and do not remember it. Not a great sign right? I agree.

The plot is the classic wealthy guy sweeps not so wealthy girl off her feet and she kind of complains about how uncomfortable his lifestyle and 'friends' are.

Now I don't mind reading a cliche plot every once in a while, but it has to be an entertaining cliche plot though. I skimmed through some of this one. I was wondering what the conflict was. Maybe authors don't need conflict in stories any more? I don't know.

Most of the supporting characters could have stayed out of the book. They didn't help the story.

The heroine read as a weak little princess somehow. And I feel kind of bad describing her like that for some reason.

I got this one for free on amazon. If you did too, it will help you pass the time. But I am not sure I would have purchase it.

2/5  *I gave it this rating because her best friends were really funny. 

Happy reading!

Kulti by Mariana Zapata 2/5

Kulti by Mariana Zapata

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Sensuality: 7

Why did this book take sooooo long to get to the point?! It felt as if it just rambled on, and on and ooooooon. I must say it was not a boring read. Kulti had its funny moments for sure, and reading about such a contact sport like soccer was great. But it felt as if it was an unnecessarily drawn out story.

It didn't help that the hero was a big uptight meanie. His attitude did not seem to change at any point of the book. In my head they are going to get divorced in 5 to 10 years.

I did A LOT of skimming to finish this one. It did not grab me, but I must give the author credit for creating an intelligent character in Sam. Zapata is a pretty good writer with a pretty boring book.

2/5

Happy reading!

Rush (City Lights#3) by Emma Scott 3/5

Rush (City Lights#3) by Emma Scott

Genre: Young Adult Contemporary Romance

Sensuality: 8

This one was sweet to read. It read a bit like a fairy tale though, not 100% happy about that fact. But its not a completely boring plot.

My only complaint is that the characters voices sounded like 40 year old 19th century aristocracy somehow. They were 23 and 24 years, but sounded much more mature than their age. That made the book not ring true to me.

Mind you, I did enjoy not reading silly slang terms and phrases. The author painted a vivid picture about the violinist. I swear I heard the music she played in my head!

That was beautiful to read.

3/5


Happy reading!
