A review by pastelwriter
Sailing With Her Wolf by Ariel Marie
Did not finish book. Stopped at 47%.
I couldn’t do it, y’all…
This started okay enough, not horrible but not great, and then it devolved into a bunch of nothing. Don’t get me wrong. I love me some smut for the sake of smut, but this kept trying to add tension by reminding us of the fact that the two main characters were stranded at sea…and I couldn’t do it. It was boring.
On top of that, it felt wrong to read a romance by a Black author without any Black characters 😩
EVEN WORSE, the author kept using the phrase “forbidden hole” and making ME want to crawl into a hole never to be seen again. I never want to see that phrase again 💀
Anyway. I’m trying to stop myself from continuing books just to see if they get better. I need to get back to my merciless groove of DNFing books without a care in the world if they’re not working for me.
