Back before
fifty I was a casual romance reader. I mainly read horror and crime, however
having 4 really young kids and being a stay at home mum on one income those
books were wickedly expensive even second hand when you read one a day. Mills
& Boon/ Entangled and the like however were so cheap it was ridiculous.
Infact I used to buy a box of them for $2 and they would last me a month. Now I
am an obsessed romance reader and my poor Dean Koontz collection is in a box
somewhere as I slowly add to my signed romance collection.
I am no
longer ashamed to tell people what I am reading (well mostly) and I have
discovered a whole world of romance beyond Mills & Boon / Entangled. But
that doesn’t mean that I still don’t gravitate towards them every now and then.
They often give me just what I need. I know generally they are somewhat
predictable and over the top sweet but they still have all the aspects I love
in a good romance novel and sometimes I just need that sweet predictability to
soothe me.
Now that
isn’t to say each book doesn’t have it’s own feel and style and Joya Ryan is
definitely one of those authors I always grab as soon as I see her name on the
cover. I love her writing style and her characters always feel so genuine and
relatable. They always make me feel like I can completely relate to them and I
walk away in a great mood with a need to just chill out and read all day.
This book
was sweet and somewhat predictable but the story was told in a fun way that had
me wanting to know how it was going to play out. I could have gone with a
little more revenge against the cheating ex and his girlfriend but then I guess
the best revenge is to be happy, I just am a lot more vengeful than that so
dismemberment or IDK syphilis would have been nice to see.
I really
enjoyed the characters and there was plenty of chemistry and sex thrown in with
the romance and I really love that it was all wrapped up in a neat little bow
at the end. An epilogue way off in the distance would have been awesome but I
can’t complain too much since it ended with so much sweetness I can close my eyes
and make my own epilogue with puppies and rainbows. And today that was exactly
what I needed.
