A review by robinclaire
The Riviera House by Natasha Lester

2.0

This book is two separate stories that come together to make one story. I was just getting invested in story one when I was yanked into story two. Unfortunately, I did not like story two as much as story one. I stuck with it although I found it intolerable (a guy lets his brother use his sperm to have a kid, and then regrets it. Really?) and then again I am pulled back into story one. It took me one day to read this book as I kept hoping that it would get better; I was waiting for anything to happen. The first book was a lot of build up, heart pounding, but not earth shattering. The twist in story one was seen a mile away - it could have been done more creatively. The second story was predictable, cheesy, and just blah. Story one ends on a sad note, story two is like a bad romance novel, and the book is done. I was hoping for more from this book, and think if the author had stuck with the one storyline that I would have enjoyed it more and would have given it a higher rating. I was disappointed.
