Re: Koland and Beautiful Disaster, yes, I agree, it seems to be one of those series that's a love/hate thing. I had it as a 1 star, but I see Blossom loved it. This is why I am so hesitant to recommend books, some we all seem to like, others not. I know for myself I'm very careful with my spending and I hate to have people waste their money on something I've recommended and they hate it. But that's the way it goes sometimes!  |
Ah don't worry about that. The buyer always should read the synopsis of the book and a sample before buying. We all have different taste in books but word of mouth is the best way to take a second look at something. You see BD hit me because I have a thing for a scarred hero. I don't like my heroes perfect. Travis broke my heart because I know what he came from being abused most of his life then finding Abby. I also thought his traits reminded me of some Shifter heroes I've read in the past. I thought it was brilliant to see those traits on a human for a change. I agree it's a love or hate series.
We all can't love the same books and I think we know it's a risk anytime we buy a book. Example I am reading The Windflower by Laura London. Everyone says this is the greatest romance in their reviews. I've been told many times you got to read this! A few month ago someone here offered to loan it to me. I declined because it's a very expensive book. Well I found a very ratty copy on eBay for $8 and I am so glad I didn't pay more than that. I got two more chapters to go and well I think it's just an okay story nothing special. I don't find the romance believable between the h/h. Stockholm Syndrome isn't even believable at this point. He was just too in the background for them to develop anything between them. The only reason I keep reading is because of Cat. He breaks my heart and to find his story was never written!
Cat is the most unusual male character I've come across in a romance story. I fell in love with him. Devon can jump in the ocean. Merry is too good for him. I found the love scenes very awkwardly written. Only because of Cat will it get 3 stars from me.
