A review by dc7
Stranded by Cara Dee
4.0
I bought this book as a package deal with the first novel in the series, Auctioned. Apparently the full series is meant to consist of 5 books but at this point I am undecided whether I will keep reading the sequels. (And there is no word from the author when the next one will come out, if it ever will.)
Auctioned was a fantastic book with a gripping plot and high stakes. Stranded starts basically right after the end of Auctioned and it is unable to recreate the suspense and flavour of its predecessor. The first third of the book drags a lot and I felt little chemistry between the two main characters. It does get better as the book progresses but the story never gets up to the level of Auctioned.
There are a couple of good, steamy scenes in the second half of the book and the story promises to continue in an interesting way - but I’ll wait for the reviews of the third book when it comes out before I buy and read it.
