What is likeable about this read is the fact that the narrative had an alluring twist that added to the drama and action, making it more than just your average love story. Kudos to the author for a job well done.

Reading this kind reminded me of 365 days movie. Seems unrealistic but that's what fiction is for, right? Not sure whether I want to read this but I'm still adding this to my list for my consideration.

I'm not a big fan of unrealistic love stories, in fact, I think they contribute to the unusually high expectations people have for real-life relationships. There's no perfect man out there, so I wouldn't enjoy a book that portrayed any as such. The fact that the romantic scenes became overdone is another discourager to me. Thanks for the heads-up in the review.

While I don’t mind erotic scenes and romance, I’m not sure if this book is for me. Just because a book is fiction doesn’t mean that suspension of disbelief is boundless, especially when it comes to main characters and their love interests. I also don’t like what this review has to say about how sexual harassment in friendship is handled. The book might work for others, but I’ll pass. Thank you for the helpful and honest review.

I'm not a fan of the fact that Kieran Black was perfect; having no character flaw whatsoever doesn't sound realistic to me. Still, I find I'm more interested in whatever's going on between Kieran and Seryna than with her sleepy town.

Latest Review: Our Autumn Years by Arthur Hartz

Post by AnnOgochukwu »

The romance genre is always interesting so long it's believeable and not over done. This book reminds me of the numerous love stories I've read - damsels in distress, hot charming dark knights, sex, disagreements and happily ever afters.
Nice review, you really dissected this book.

The book seems interesting having a good plot. However, it has bad themes such as sensual harassment, lust, rape, romance and so forth. I think I'll pass this book by. Thanks for your insightful review.

I like that the book deals with engaging themes like friendship, family, and love. However, I don't find it interesting enough with the typical damsel in distress theme and explicit details. Thank you for the honest review, though.

The book reminds me of the a film that also has a similar plot. It seems cliched, but I think that many readers would relish this book. Congratulations to the author!

Normalising rape or any sexual abuse is surely unacceptable. To the extent that this review is thorugh, you should fail the book. However, this does not come across as a balanced review.

Honest review is all that can be said. The storyline is really not that great. I myself read the book by skipping through lot pages. None the less I enjoyed what I read.
