Unrequited

I absolutely adored Maeve! For me to say that the female main character in a book is more of a standout than her male counterpart isn't as usual as I wish it were, but Maeve was head and shoulders above anyone else in the book. She was that great combination of sass and sweet and didn't need any guy to swoop in and rescue her from whomever or whatever. The fact that she was a talented drummer further endeared her to me because I so wanted to learn how to play the drums when I was a kid (inspired by both Karen Carpenter who was the first female I'd ever seen behind a kit, but my parents nixed that idea because of the noise they felt drumming would cause). Another plus was that she was curvy and not the typical slim body type with blonde hair and blue eyes that you'd often find in these books. I know I sound like I'm crushing on Maeve, and maybe I am because hello, the romance world needs more "real" heroines out there. As for Santiago, well, let's just say that the guy had to work really hard to win Maeve AND me over, which he eventually did. Unrequited snags 4.5 stars. Now, I need book two! ♥
