A review by rynniereads
The Gentleman's Book of Vices by Jess Everlee
3.0
A few weeks before his wedding Charlie makes it his mission to meet and get the autograph of his favorite erotic writer. A friend gives him the address of Miles who writes the books under a pseudonym and the two are instantly drawn together. Neither should want the other and both are bound to their other obligations but they can’t stay away from one another and must figure out how they can possibly have a future together.
I wanted to like this more than I did. It was a shorter book so I was expecting the book to be a bit tighter but found my self skimming pages if long paragraphs that weren’t moving the story forward. I was very confused by the decision to have the book be fade to black when there were some very steamy other moments because it made the moment of intimacy very anticlimactic, no pun intended. I did really like both Charlie and Miles as well as Charlie’s wonderful group of friend and I’m hoping future books are about the friends. believe that this was a debut novel so I will be interested to see if the next book in the series works better for me.
