Sparrow by Kelly Fox

lighthearted slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

The first half of this book was really boring, the chemistry non-existent with Sparrow being a jackass for no reason. I was about to DNF. But just past the halfway mark was the first smut scene and that was incredibly unique. The main characters sexual relationship has a strong D/s dynamic with shibari. It's not discussed beforehand, their first time doesn't even have a safe word, so it's not safe, but it's a book that already feels fairly unrealistic so I guess I can forgive that.
