A review by teenykins
Love and Payne by Charlie Cochet
3.0
So I'm kinda alone in this one seeing all the great reviews and it kinda makes me think if I listened to another story than the one they read.
First there were soooo many characters I couldn't keep them straight, frankly trying to figure out who was who made me space out in the on-goings.
Secondly so many nicknames forOsborn Osmond I had to remind myself of his name. Especially everyone AND his family calling him Zach made me again space out in the on-goings trying to remind myself that his name is Osborn Osmond and the family surname is Zachary. (True to fact I thought his name was Osborn and checking the blurb proved me wrong!).
So many cheesy and over the top lines!!! Who goes around saying "manly muscles" and "sexy sexiness" that is above the age of 14? How can I take the characters, and in this instance ALL and EVERY character (mother, sisters, brothers etc etc), seriously?
What was the point of starting Austen's POV.
I get that the point was to show that being smaller doesn't mean being weak but mentioning again and again that fact in this premise did 2 things, 1st) It was like one was trying to convince ones self by repeating that fact and 2nd) it cancelled out the again repeated fact of how strong Bear shifters are. Yes Austen had special training but throughout the book I felt that Bear shifters were treated by even the author as mindless muscle than anything else.
Finally Austen going round and round on being with Oz, not being with him, having a little taste, not having one, etc etc. It was exhausting! That together with Oz half-assing the whole thing and accepting everything Austen wanted, plus their limited interactions it didn't make for a very convincing love of the ages. Although seeing as how the book ended

Spoiler
with a sex scene with Brayden? Do as a reader that I'm shipping a pairing want to know about one of the 2 MCs's sexual encounters? NO! Do I wanted to read that even though Austen liked and wanted Osmond he still fucked others? NO! This is a total turn off!!!I get that the point was to show that being smaller doesn't mean being weak but mentioning again and again that fact in this premise did 2 things, 1st) It was like one was trying to convince ones self by repeating that fact and 2nd) it cancelled out the again repeated fact of how strong Bear shifters are.
