Convicted by Dee Tenorio
4.0
I was given an ARC of Convicted by Dee Tenorio from Entangled for an honest review.
So I first started reading books from Entangled when I discovered Jennifer Armentrout and J. Lynn. Up until now, she has been my favorite romance author. She is now tied for first place with Dee Tenorio.
I just have to say…
I loved this book.
I didn’t just think it was good for a romance novel, it was just plain good.
The book was well paced, well edited, and had some killer dialogue. The characters were so well developed too. Dee clearly has a strong understanding of what it is to be marine. Her description of the personal struggles and challenges that some of the characters faced were downright visceral in the best possible way. The conflict and tension between the main characters was realistic and necessary to move the plot forward. It didn’t just exist to create sparks for the sake of sparks.
And speaking of sparks. Wowza. I really don’t know what else to say. You’ll just have to read it…
It was really interesting to see a female in the role of somewhat arrogant, bad guy who makes all of the sexual advances. So often it is always a chauvinistic male making innuendos and being a bit of an asshole. And yet, we love him don’t we? I really think readers will be as intrigued as I was by the role reversal. I loved Trina’s character. She is one ass-kicker of a lady. If I’ve said it once I’ll say it again. I FREAKING LOVE FLAWED CHARACTERS. They are the best and the most interesting to read.
I’m giving this a solid 4 out of 5 for overall awesomeness and quality of writing. I’m officially going out and buying everything else this woman has written.
