Marrying Off Morgan McBride by Amy Barry
2.0
Ok lets talk.
No one likes rating books low more than I do so let me give a little insight as to why I have this low.
I absolutely adored Kit McBride last year! I had it in my top faves of 2022 stack and Morgans story has been at the top of my must reads in 2023.
I knew because I follow the author that this would be more "spicy". I wondered what that meant since Kit was a sexier but sweet closed door intimacy level. This however was just way more than I anticipated. For me it wasn't just the open door scene...which was a stark contrast from the first book but the tone of the book was just overall very lusty in general.
I was sad because we essentially get two characters, with great back stories and a lot of potential. However in the short time that our characters interact we get a quick exchange of words, lots of breast ooggling, and little substance to get to know one another. Theres a quick more hot and heavy kissing scene early on based off attraction and then the rest of the book the characters long for each other based off that physical intimacy but don't know the person behind it. This kissing scene is mentioned SO many times..only emphasizing that these characters long for what they can physically get from one another.
I really don't care that the author went open door, however....as a slow burn reader there was absolutely no build. No emotional connection between the characters and I felt like even by the TWO days of interaction...I was curious how a marriage would last between these two strangers.
I'm ok with a little physical. BUT when the physical becomes the ONLY driving force in a couples relationship progression...it really made the book lose its heart and the potential for it to be really great. The only thing Morgan seemed to be interested was unbuttoning that dress.
There were a few sweet moments here and there, but overall the experience for me was night and day from the first...and i'm curious if this is the direction this authors future books will be headed in.
Not for me.
