A review by bitchie
Love in Spades by Charlie Cochet
2.0
This book has only been out a few days, but it already has tons of glowing reviews. Unfortunately, I'm about to break that string, because this book was barely even ok for me. In fact, I had to force myself to keep reading, and it weren't for a challenge, I probably would have set it aside to pick back up later.
I expected something closer to the THIRDs series, but without the shifters. I expected plenty of action, with some nice moments between the guys, getting to know each other in that flirt/fight way Cochet does so well. Well, there was plenty of "flighting" going on between Ace and Colton, the initial case, the reason Colton's dad needed his own security in the first place, was virtually forgotten until fully 80% into the story. So that means we had 80% of getting to know you, fighting, flirting, and once they finally gave in, way too many consecutive sex scenes. These guys are in their 30s (or more?), their refraction times aren't that good!
Colton actually drove me crazy at the start. He just came across as, not spoiled exactly, he's a good guy, but he definitely went out of his way to antagonize Ace. For the first half of the book, he alternates between throwing hissy fits, and acting all come hither to get at Ace. I'm not even sure when they formed this connection, or what it was based on, other than sexual attraction. It took a lot of pages, but not a lot of actually time between the guys, before they are all over each other, proclaiming to love each other, and moving in.
But, tons of others seem to love this book, so maybe it was just me, or even just my frame of mind when I read it. Hopefully, I like the next book more, but this is sure no THIRDs.
