Beginner's Luck by Kate Clayborn
3.0
The amount of everything that Clayborn manages to pack into her books is amazing.
I enjoyed this book well enough, though I think what keeps me coming back to Clayborn's offerings is her writing style. It flows so well and reads so quickly. The characters are engaging and you always see them doing their thing, having their personalities, being humans. That sounds weird, but there you have it. They're well developed, independent people who fall in love because of each other, not because that's all that's available, if that makes sense.
I think what is keeping me from giving more than 3 stars is the sex. Her books seem to have one big sex scene on the page, then refers to various other times the main characters have sex, and maybe another short intimate scene or two. I don't think that lots of sex on the page is important, but the way this is done actually seems to take away some of the advancement of the relationship, leaving out the trust and enjoyment involved in their explorations of each other.
