mirrorchaser 's review for:
The Stranger I Married
by Sylvia Day
This was quite smutty, though I guess that is what I signed up for when I picked up a [a:Sylvia Day|19823|Sylvia Day|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1556083169p2/19823.jpg].
The entire novel was basically just the characters either having sex or talking to other characters like:
Honestly, I was a little confused at the beginning and I don't like or expect that out of romances, historical or otherwise. World building takes some time in a fantasy, but for this kind of novel there is a gentler way to introduce characters than to just toss your reader right into the middle of things. It read like a second novel in a series, as though I was already supposed to know the characters.
I spent the entire first chapter going
The first romantic moment between our main characters was also super rapey and not in a hot way at all.. follow that up with weird scene where Isabel's brother tells her she's hot, and a weird kidnapping at the end..

Day also worked in another couple to give us some reprieve from Isabel and Grayson/Gerard/Gray/Faulkner and while I really enjoyed those characters I think I would have liked them to have their own book as opposed to just serving as a kind of unnecessary subplot in this one.
I really liked the Crossfire novels so I was excited to read some more of Day's work but I wasn't thrilled with this one.
