A review by pogodragon
Living Dangerously by Katie Fforde
2.0
I read this book - it's a quick and easy read. Cosy, middle English, by the numbers romance. But I have a bit problem with the lead character. She pays lip service to being a feminist - mainly by deciding to squelch her feminism every time it would be at all inconvenient.
The 'hero' is silent, brooding, moody ... but great at sex. The 'heroine' isn't interested in sex unless/until she's already very attached to someone and knows them well enough to trust them. Unless, of course, it's Mr Handsome and Brooding.
It's all so very by the numbers with cardboard cut outs for characters. I am well aware that this is the first book by this author and she has written many more so I will read one or two more because I really wanted to like this book an - despite my review here - it was frustrating because it was so close to good but ended up being, to me, utterly frustrating.
