daje1968 's review for:

Without You by Marley Valentine
2.0

This book wasn’t terrible, it was just…sigh…how can I articulate this? I don’t necessarily like a hyper villain in my romances and a lot of authors fall into that category. But this author fell on the other end of the spectrum. I was kind of confused as to what Deacon’s beef really was. His mom was a little annoying, but didn’t seem awful. The conflict was just too subtle.

Also, gay for you is not my favorite trope. I’m a cis het woman, so what do I know, but it feels a bit unbelievable. Bi of course makes sense, but I am not attracted to men but I’m totally comfortable with your dick..? It may happen sometimes but I have trouble buying it.

Finally, WTF with burying those letters? It’s honestly a little disrespectful. That really bothered me.

The cover is super hot and maybe deacon could have looked like one of them, but we really didn’t get much in the way of descriptions, so I had trouble picturing either of them.
