A review by cindywilk
Idle Bloom by Jewel E. Ann
2.0
As my quest to read all of Jewel E. Ann's books continues, I knew I was bound to run into one I didn't like...
It finally happened.
Ann is very good at taking that instantaneous connection between two people and making it work.
Except for this story.
I wasn't a huge fan of Oliver or Vivian, and found their "struggles" to be underdeveloped. Vivian's struggle, while I understand her insecurity, didn't seem like that big of a deal. Oliver's struggle had potential to be fully flushed out, but ended up being wrapped up quickly.
Maybe their character arcs couldn't be fully developed BECAUSE ALL THEY DID WAS HAVE SEX!
I mean, gesh!
Clearly I don't mind smut, but I do mind when sex scenes seem pointless and redundant.
We all get it.
These two characters are physically attracted to one another...
