The Awkward Truth by Lee Winter
2.0
I feel I should explain my 2* rating despite rarely writing reviews. I thought I would try a pure romance book for once as an experiment. I’m all for romance in novels, but generally it has been the seasoning or gravy to the main course of story.
So I picked this book up to see what romance as a genre is like. And, I don’t like it. About all I can say is the words were in the right order and it was a fast read. I found the characters stereotypical and trite. There was barely an icing sugar dusting on a cake amount of story. Even the sexy stuff was pretty boring. I’ve read better in sci-fi books that have a bit of romance on the side.
But equally I have to appreciate I have determined that romance is so not my genre, that perhaps I am missing whether this particular book is a good or bad example. Other reviewers seem to like it.
All I’ve done is make myself feel hungry.
