piquantpie 's review for:

Crimson River by Devney Perry
2.0

Yeeeaahh idk

Is Ms. Perry skilled at painting a vivid scenic setting? Yup. We've got a nice prose in there as well, and I didn't read this book to have it change my life or anything. But I did delve into it to experience more of The Edens' world.

Looking at other reviews now, I see there seems to be some polarization regarding this instalment.

My not-so-hot or popular take is this: Yeah, this seemed to have some similarities to Indigo Ridge, but I've not read anything else in the series to see stark differences either. I also seem to be in the minority that thought Indigo Ridge was better. The steamy scenes in this were also repetitive and boring. It felt like this was done before she really knew everything that the characters needed to say. It's not the worst thing I've read by a long shot, but reading it right after Indigo Ridge was probably a mistake.

Elsewhere, If you took a shot every time Vance says, "Fuck but I," you'd be wasted.
Anyway, I think I need a palate cleanser for my palate cleanser (which is what this book was supposed to be.)
