A Fine Line: An Ends World Novel, Book 3 by MercyAnn Summers
3.5
I shocked myself with this book as I didn’t think I would enjoy it. However, I ended up actually really liking this book.
It is very fast-paced, with insta-lust and insta-love, which is not something I typically like. But put together with the plot of the book, the action and the spice, I found myself simply overlooking what I tend to not enjoy!
Tony… ahh, Tony Tony Tony, where can I get one of you? The “touch her and you die” attitude had me giggling, we love a jealous and possessive MMC. And the sass and wit that Carolina provides? Immaculate! I loved her character and loved what she stands for: she would truly go through every hell just to protect those she loves.
I went into this with no clue as to what had happened in the previous books, and found myself coming out wanting to read them both to know every intricate detail I missed in this. I do love that it can be read as a stand-alone as you don’t miss too much and it does not spoil the experience of this book at all.
The “negatives” of this book are fairly short but I have to mention them for honesty. Some of the inner monologues and verbal dialogues in this book did strike me as quite unrealistic. I did overlook them slightly as obviously this is FICTION, but I did find myself sometimes going “nobody speaks like this in real life…”. Another point is the daughter plot: I liked it but wanted more! It seemed a little thrown in, I guess is the right phrasing? I wanted more bonding between Tony and Flora, I wanted more backstory on how she was captured, I wanted simply just more scenes with her. However, this may be something I missed in previous books so we hall see when I read them!
Overall though, I did enjoy this book and want to say my thanks again to Book Babes PR and Mercyann Summers for allowing me to read the ARC to this novel!
