A review by serialbookstarter
Grand Love by J.C. Hawke

3.0

The love story between Nina and Mason was good. The couple are apart for 3/4 of the book. There’s so many side stories that are unnecessary and have very little development and resolution...ieJoey, Jasmine,Lance, the h’s Mom, the h’s dad etc. just too much. It reminded me of LOST the tv series that went all over the place and then failed to stick the ending, so at the end of the story you have a dazed expression asking why the heck did the author even go there. I did a lot of speed reading and skimming in this book which is always a Bad sign. I believe this duet would have profited if the author could have condensed her thoughts and ideas and focused in on the MC’s. Instead it was a bit of a flight of ideas.Most of the time, less is more. I like to read romance that is more focused. Like TL Swann… someone reviewed that this was similar to one of her books The Stopover, but no it wasn’t focused enough on the MC’s to compare. The writing was good, the love story was good, all the rest was just page filler.

P.S. also wasn’t a fan of the way the hero’s sexcapades aka cheating after the break up was supposed to be okay because it wasn’t missionary.Meanwhile the h never cheated….
