Beautiful Mistake by Vi Keeland
4.0
Beautiful Mistake is an overall enjoyable read.
Caine and Rachel have interesting histories as individuals. I think I would have had a stronger emotional connection to them if the story delved just a little bit deeper into their past. There are important relationships that I wanted to explore more.
Rachel and Caine have good chemistry between them, and the story features some surprises that unfold in unexpected ways. The forbidden romance aspect is barely touched upon, which is a missed opportunity.
Small tirade ahead: Sex (in varying detail) is a given in romance novels. I do wish, however, that authors would stop making females give the whole it’s SO big and I’m SO scared that it can’t possibly fit spiel. Vi Keeland is not the first author guilty of this, but I think I’ve reached maximum tolerance. My eyes just about rolled right out of my head.
I listened to the audiobook. I’m an anomaly who isn’t a huge fan of Sebastian York, but it’s been at least a year since I’ve listened to one of his books and I actually enjoyed his narration here. Maybe I just needed a cleanse? His Irish accent in one chapter is horrible, but other than that I have no complaints. Andi Arndt does a fine job as always.
Recommended for fans of:
Student-teacher (sort of) romance
Former rockers
Music
Priests
