A review by jsjarvis71
Christmas Inn Maine by Chelsea M. Cameron
3.0
I wanted to rate this book higher, but there were a few things that prevented me from doing so. First with the good points of the book. I loved the story itself, how much at the Christmas holiday it was, how much family love was shown. The story built well and I enjoyed the characters and the overall storyline. So those are all things that make the story worth reading.
The negatives I saw had more to do with some of the language used in the story and the narration of the audiobook. If you are thinking of getting this on audiobook, just don't. The narration is really bad and it takes the listener away from the story...because...of...how...staccato...the...author...reads...things. OMG, it is bad. I plan on getting a copy of the book and reading it instead of listening to it to see if it gives me a better feeling of it. I believe it will.
The author also uses some language in the sex scenes that I typically don't see with a lesbian author. There is nothing wrong with the language, it was just unusual. Instead of "breasts", the author uses "boobs", which is more what I have read from a male author in MF romances. She also uses the phrase "my junk" a few times. I'm not sure I've ever heard a woman call their sexual organs "junk" before. Just a bit jarring when you are used to reading WLW romances that are much more sensual and descriptive.
I will give the print book another chance just to see if it sits better with me than the audio did.
