Wicked in Your Arms by Sophie Jordan

2.0

---

I'm extremely disappointed with this book. It had a lot of potential, in terms of plot and character, but it didn't live up to it.

First of all, I got tired of the amount of times Sevastian said or thought Grier was ineligible and that she wasn't good enough to be his wife and, consequently, the future queen.

As such, I thought the romance came up short.

How can you feel some sort of enchantment toward the love story if the hero thinks the heroine is nothing but a lowly peasant and a bastard most of the time? I don't think that's romantic.

Plus, I was pissed when Sevastian described what he was feeling for Grier as an 'itch'. What the hell? If you have an itch, go scratch it with some common whore, you bastard!

Also, I didn't feel much emotion while reading Wicked In Your Arms. It was all very 'blah' and that's bad. I prefer to hate a book right away rather than being in this grey limbo.

I think this was my first Sophie Jordan book and the experience wasn't very good, but I'll read some other books to see if I like it.
