Has anyone read this yet? A ton of reviews saying it's not her usual style... I've only just read my first by her (the Gamble) and just bought a bunch of her Rock Chick's... sitting on the fence on this one. |
I'm a KA fan girl, so YMMV.
Personally, I loved the style of her previous books. They are utterly cracktastic, with messy writing, strange grammar and sentence fragments, inarticulate alphahole heroes, and they are epic in length, often 500+ pages. I usually hate those kinds of books with a passion, especially when they have grammar issues, but somehow she manages to make it work.
Own The Wind is significantly shorter and the grammar is cleaned up a bit, although it's still her signature writing style. The essence of her writing is still there, with the bonus that the heroine in this book is Tabby, daughter of Tack, the hero of Motorcycle Man, which is many of her fans' favorite book. I really liked it, but it wasn't quite as cracktastic for me precisely because it's been "cleaned up" for mass consumption and is missing some of the elements that made her other books so full of crazy sauce. (However, Shy, the hero in this book, is a pretty typical KA hero, so it hasn't been cleaned up THAT much.
)
For $0.99, it's probably a good way to try her out if you've never read any of her stuff, and if you have read any of her others and were okay with her writing style and her heroes, then I'd say you should jump on this deal.
