A review by piper_sh
Spring at Blueberry Bay by Holly Martin

2.0

The first few chapters of this book might as well have been
the beginning of a crime novel.
What rational woman that lives alone lets a complete stranger in her house
and let him stay the night?
I know this is just a silly romance novel but come on.
So the guy left his dog with a burning candle alone at home and the
house burned to the ground and the girls reply is: Oh don´t worry it was an
accident you can´t blame yourself? I say, Yes you can and you should.
What idiot leaves an animal locked in with a burning candle?
By the way, the dog is fine!


I am no fan of Holly Martin.
This book is as silly as the others.
You are really making a grown man kneel down in front of her in order to
convince the girl to work for him?
I am sorry but No.
I get this is romance but there is good romance and then there is this.
If you like a lot of schmaltz this book is for you.

Some of the dialogue is just atrocious:
Girl: I am quite an affectionate person. Cuddling is properly my favorite part of being in a
relationship. Sadly most men are not big on cuddling.
Boy: Cuddling is your favorite part of being in a relationship?
Girl: Most men´s favorite part of being in a relationship is regular sex
Boy: And you don´t like sex?
Girl: Sex is great. I had some pretty amazing sex over the years. But sex isn´t affectionate
is it?
Boy: It isn´t?
Girl: It´s just a physical need. (...) Sex just fulfills a need.
Sorry but that is just sad and also wrong.
