slovenianbookworm 's review for:
A Brand New Ending
by Jennifer Probst
There has to be something because I didn't feel connected to the story or its characters. It's happening the same as the last time I have read an ARC - I've been reading it for ages. Or at least that's how long it feels to me.
Is it me? Am I not reading it at the appropriate time? I've never needed more than ten days to read a book. NEVER. And now it happened twice in a row. TWICE.
Do I need some time to get my reading mojo back or something? Or maybe I have just been reading books that are not my cup of tea?
Because let me tell you something. I've read Jennifer Probst's books before. I loved Marriage to a Billionaire series.
But this one...
I just don't know what's wrong. I read couple pages and then lose interest. And this has been happening for days now. Days. All other books look more appealing but I just can't bring myself to start more than one e-book at the time.
Or maybe it's the characters.
There was no romance. Nothing that could make me swoon. He was always working in his room and came out only to make love to her and to eat. Okay, twice they were together outside of b & b but otherwise nothing.
There were couple flashbacks - many of them unnecessary.
I think the author put too much effort into making side characters likable - which they were - Hei Hei, Harper, and others. But she forgot to make the main ones lovable. I felt almost no romance between them. No flirting. No making out outside b & b. It felt like all book revolved about what happened in the b&b. I got the glimpse of what I wanted in the ending but I already knew that I can't give more than 3 stars then.
