Not a book for me
I primarily bought this book because it was the follow on story from In the Bossās Bed by the same author. While I wasnāt particularly keen on that story, I still wanted to give this one a chance and see the love story of Abby and Trevor – who appeared in the first book. Sadly, I wasnāt hugely overwhelmed with this story anymore than I had been with the first.
The story started off strongly as Abby and Trevor are introduced to us (you donāt need to have read the In the Bossās Bed first) and you get the anticipation of the start of their relationship. This is when they come to their deal of friends with benefits. The first time they get together is very hot and sexy and everything looked good for a fun storyā¦
“…it whiles away a couple of hours.”
ā¦but it suddenly seemed to get a bit stale. The story seemed to be the pair having sex, wondering what they were going to do since they werenāt in a place in their lives to have a relationship, a wee bit about their fledgling careers and another bit of sex thrown in for good measure. I love a sexy story and I love a Blaze romance but when the story seems to be predominantly sex and you find yourself skimming through those parts, thereās something amiss.
The writing was fine and the story did hold my interest – for a while at least – I just couldnāt really feel anything for the romance story and didnāt really believe in it or the love between Abby and Trevor, Iām afraid.
So, not a story for me but not really offensive in any way. I wouldnāt recommend you rush out and buy it but if itās already in your āto be readā pile then it whiles away a couple of hours. 2 stars.
