Compromising Her Position by Samanthe Beck
3.0
Actual rating is 3.5 out of 5 stars.
Full Disclosure: I received a copy of this book from Netgalley, as part of the Tasty Book Tours blog tour, in exchange for an honest review.
My Thoughts: I’ve read 2 other books by Samanthe Beck and when I saw the blog tour with the book available from Netgalley, I signed up without hesitation. I was actually interested in the book’s description too. It was pretty much perfect timing to read this as we’re heading into the Christmas/holiday season.
Compromising Her Position was a pretty quick read for me. It is a romance and it does have some graphic sex scenes, so I would say ages 18 and up. I wouldn’t classify it as erotica though; there’s too much plot for that (wow, that did not sound quite so snarky in my head), which is a good thing in my opinion.
The main characters definitely had their imperfections. Rafe was pretty dreamy, but I felt like his character was missing something. I’m not sure what, but it didn’t detract from the story. Chelsea was mostly awesome. I say mostly because there were moments that had me rolling my eyes in frustration with her. I really don’t like it when people decide to be stubbornly stupid (I don’t think that’s a real phrase).
The chemistry was what I’ve come to expect from Samanthe Beck’s writing, which nothing short of great. I started to get anticipation highs whenever I thought Chelsea and Rafe were going to interact again. For the record, I’m not just referring to the chemistry in the sex scenes. I was mainly thinking about their banter.
While Compromising Her Position wasn’t my favorite Samanthe Beck book (that would be Private Practice), it was still very good. If you’re a fan of adult contemporary romances, then I would recommend Compromising Her Position and it’ll give you a dash of Christmas for the current holiday season too.
