More Than Crave You by Shayla Black
2.0
I started listening to the audio but had to switch over to the book. The narration was ok, but the story became tedious. I was sick of both Evan and Nia.
For one thing, if I had not known Nia was supposed to be black, (from the cover), I would not have known at all except for the occasional references to skin tone. Then, wait, her sexual history continued to be brought up. Again and Again. I started out with high hopes. Nia was strong, intelligent, witty. She deteriorated into something I can't explain. Also, why did she have to be a burlesque dancer? Couldn't she have been ANY other kind of dancer, ballet? Jazz?, etc.? Why did she have to be biracial? If she was a product of two AA parents would she not have been good enough for Evan? Why did she have to have more sexual experience than Evan? Does that come up in other romance novels?
There waa something wrong with Evan. Maybe because this was the first book I read in this series, and didn't have much background, I had to wonder what happened to him that he was so removed from his emotions. Why did he marry his wife? Didn't seem like he felt anything for her. It seemed !One she was convenient, like a Keurig.
I didn't feel much of anything for Evan or Nia. I just wanted them to get together so the book would end.
I didn't even realized I owned this book, and the first 3. After reading this one, I'm hesitant to invest the time in the first 3.
