perfectphlaws 's review for:
Heroes Are My Weakness
by Susan Elizabeth Phillips
To be a little clearer with my rating I would say this is 4 starts compared to other romance authors, but maybe only 3 if I'm comparing to other SEP reads, what can I say SEP set the bar high.
So moving onto the review. I read this book in about two days, I definitely didn't want to put it down. From reading the excerpt I really though the puppets would bother me, but they toned down a ton from the first chapter thankfully! And after that the puppets voices were a nice tool for SEP to show how the heroines feelings were slowly changing.
I definitely didn't see the twist coming in this one! (Not that I am very good a predicting plots to begin with...) But anyway, I was really happy with how things turned out. Although that's almost a guarantee with SEP.
So as far as chemistry between the main characters I definitely felt it. Although I found the actual sex scenes to be a little cool compared to some of her others. I think there was a little less build up and the scenes themselves played out quickly or often were just referenced in passing. So that was a little disappointing.
One part that wasn't disappointing at all was the absense of a side love story. I often find these side stories distract from the main characters and don't always involve characters I care very much about, but SEP bring in a whole new kind of issue to solve was really refreshing. Having Annie interact with Livia was very interesting and unexpected. Although I think Jaycie wasn't as whole a character as she could have been, we can always chalk that up to here secrecy. Perhaps if we'd been in her head she would have seemed more complete.
Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by SEP's new book. I have to say the first chapter had me pretty scared, but glad the puppets didn't take over too much!
