jacqueline1989 's review for:
His at Night
by Sherry Thomas
*I listen to audiobooks while doing other tasks, so note taking is impossible, ergo Down & Dirty Quickie Reviews are impossible. Instead, here are some words.*
The Plot & The Peeps:
Heroine traps idiot hero into marriage to escape her abusive uncle, but whoops; he's only pretending to be a moron because Spy Stuff. And over all? Not a bad book.
Both peeps rock facades to disguise who they really are as a means of survival. Both got dark shit in their pasts. Both want out of the roles life plopped them into.
The Romance & The Pound Town:
Here's where our book loses some stars, 'cause damn I had trouble buying this romance. 90% of our couple's interactions are while each are playing a role. I couldn't understand how these two could genuinely fall in love when they were rarely themselves in front of the other person.
Throw in a slew of secondary characters, plus some head-hopping into a secondary romance that felt like it was an out-of-place detraction from the main romance, and I was left meh.
The narrator:
Kate Reading is 50% of the reason why this novel gets a solid 3 stars. Had I been reading this book instead of listening to it, I might not have connected as much to its characters. That's how much her voice acting breathed life into this OTP!
