Kiss Me Deadly by Michele Hauf

2.0

For what it's worth, I don't normally read this genre. I hate saying that because honestly, I feel like a good story should hold up regardless of what you read but I have to admit that with romance novels, I know that there are some conventions that I'm not exactly aware of. So with that in mind, if I've tripped over something that would be obvious to those people who do read these things normally, ignore what I have to say. With that out of the way, this book surprised me in a few ways. First of all, part of this book was hilarious and there were times that I had to actually check to see if I was really reading a romance novel. No spoilers for those who want to read it but some of the build up to the love scene was funnier than books I've read that were trying to be funny. That said, this was also part of the problem I had with this book. The tone meanders a lot and the characters go from deadly serious topics to lustful talking to introspective without much warning and it kinda feels a little rushed and stuck together. The build up to the first sex scene is probably my favorite part but after that it feels like the book just wanders off and decided to have snooze while the plot gets lost into things that felt arbitrary and out of place. Over all, not a terrible read but not entirely recommended either.
