Hi there!
Welcome back to Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers.
Today, we play host to a stop along the 425 Madison tour featuring BOOK TWO of the Erotic Romance series. Yes, that's right...you read THAT word correctly, and yet somehow I missed it completely when I was reading about the books and signed up post haste. I mean, the descriptions...not that risque. The covers...scream Contemporary Romance to this particular set of eyes. The story...well, let's just get this post moving as we talk about that because while it IS the second in the series, it's the first I've read (thus far) and one can't judge the entire collection without having read it first. So, one, two, and away be go as we turn the virtual page on today's ebook of choice...

As I hinted it, SO not what I thought it was going to be and while yes, overall, after I've had time to sit back and digest everything, the story itself isn't bad. The premise of a female writer writing what she doesn't know until shades of gray are removed to a world saturated with color, a wounded soldier (in more ways than one) finding love again (of both himself and another), friendships put to the test, and eventually, the chance for everyone in some fashion to show that despite the odds others stacked against them, they made their lives their own. See...I told you, good stuff! Here's my catch or rather catches...
First, too much of a "good thing" can be too much....which is probably what landed that "erotic" add on to the genre it resides in because yeah, once they get started...they don't plan on stopping. Second, the language...I'm not a prude, and yes, crass words have crossed my lips (*gasp* - SHOCK_ ~awe~...I know), but I don't really care to read a character's inner (or outer, for that matter) monologue that is constantly foul mouthed. Last, and probably least...honestly, I didn't believe the connection between the lead characters, or at least how rapidly it happened. I mean, talk about "love" (or rather lust) at first sight...and that might be giving them more time to think before the book actually did. I'm not saying they didn't make sense, but the "how" just didn't feel genuine.
In the long run, it wasn't my favorite and it does make me worry how the rest of the series will develop, but fingers crossed, maybe this one was just a fluke for me. Perhaps the "friend's brother" trope just isn't my thing....we shall see. In the mean time, check it out for yourself and see what you think. I'd be most curious to know!
