Review: Chased by Love by Melissa Foster
Posted: 06 Sep 2016, 18:05
Actually really good.
Synopsis:
“Actress Trish Ryder takes her job seriously and has no time for those who don’t. When she’s awarded a major role in a new movie featuring America’s hottest rock star, Boone Stryker, she’s beyond excited. The six-two, tattooed hunk of burning desire is known for his dedication to his craft—but when he ditches their first meeting, she begins to wonder if he’s just another rocker with a great PR team.
Sex, booze, women, and music pretty much sum up Boone Stryker’s private world. He’s coasted through life playing by his own rules with plenty of people willing to cover his tracks, and he’s not likely to change—until he meets a woman who refuses to give him the time of day, much less anything more.
Sparks fly from the first moment Trish and Boone meet—Tensions run hot and desire runs hotter when they’re trapped together on a remote location with no place to hide. Will sparks ignite, or will a hurricane douse the flames?”
Rating: Somewhere between 4/5 and 4.5/5
Thoughts:
I really didn’t have high expectations for this book, maybe because I’ve been reading too many books of genres that I don’t typically like as of late (just have a browse through some of my recent not-so-glowing reviews). But it was actually a really good read, and I’m starting to rethink my bias against contemporary romance.
Basically, I don’t have anything bad to say about it except the fact that a couple of scenes were rushed and out-of-place (e.g. the whole “Jared” thing, and the very end), and a couple of little awkward or weird moments in the plot… almost the same as those I’ve already mentioned. Otherwise, I can’t criticise much.
I’ve gone on and on about unenchanting writing before, and especially recently, I’ve been very unimpressed with a number of books because of an off-putting style. However, the writing in Chased by Love is extremely well-put-together, descriptive and engrossing, doesn’t leave the reader out and standing in the cold or on the sidelines.
