So I'm reading Tiffany Snow's Risky Business series. I've finished Power Play and over half way into Play Dirty. For me compared to her books by Montlake these are just okay.
It's not even the same plot elements that is the problem. I realize she is working with a different editor and rules. It feels constricted. There is no crazy sauce and the anti hero element that just makes her books have that extra special feel is missing. I don't blame the author. I feel she gave what she could with what she had to work with. I find nothing special about the male leads. A cop and a business man. Ryker is your typical romance cop hero and Parker is not that interesting. The heroine is the only character I like. She seems stronger and smarter than Kathleen or Ivy so far.
There really is no epic build up like her other books. Still the author has a way keeping me reading to see how it ends and the cameos are fun. She's an amazing writer specially when she does lay on the crazy sauce. Do not start with this series, to date her Tangled Ivy series is the best.
One thing I miss is I'm having to read the series as the narrator for the audiobooks is horrible! She can't do voices other then YA type and her voice isn't deep enough to do a male voice. Very bad choice.
The other book I finished isn't worth talking about.
In Rides Trouble by Julie Ann Walker (2.5) I think that will be the last book in the series for me. The first book was a five star but this was just...really badly done.
