Contrived conflicts annoyed me.
I wanted more of a story. The sex scenes were good. But not good enough to make me want to buy the book. The secondary story about Lindsey’s sister had my interest. I would have liked more of that. The main story didn’t do anything for me. Most of the time is spent in Lindsey’s head as she ogles, desires, and pines for Rich. The conflicts that annoyed me were:
CAUTION SPOILERS:
She has been desiring and pining for him for months. When he finally asks her out, she turns him down. Her reason? “Sleeping with someone extraordinary was no substitute for feeling like someone extraordinary, and she couldn’t handle being cast aside like that, not at this point in her life.” That didn’t make sense to me.
Another: After the first sex scene which was great for both of them. Rich acted cold and impersonal as he dressed. That was not explained. So then Lindsey acted cold and impersonal, and then they each thought the other didn’t want them. Too contrived.
Rich’s job is to accept fights with the highest ranked competitors. He just got an offer to fight one of the highest and he accepts it. That means he’ll be away from Lindsey for a couple months. Now Lindsey is depressed that he didn’t love her enough to turn it down and stay in the area with her. What? That’s stupid. I wouldn’t mind her sadness and depression over this, but her thinking that he didn’t love her enough annoyed me. That made her inconsiderate, selfish, and unsupportive - less likeable.
END SPOILERS.
The narrator Tiffany Cole was very good.
Genre: contemporary romance, MMA
