Part of the Famous Families line, A Weaver Wedding, is littered with names. Most likely they are characters of past and future novels all dealing with the Clay family. By the time you’re introduced to them all your head is spinning. It’s easier to keep the names down and the interaction between the leads up.
If you’re good with names and one time introductions this won’t be a problem, but I can’t follow that many characters. Well, that’s a lie, I could, but I don’t care to in a short novel. If I’m going to get lots of names dropped it better be in a long novel or series.
It was predictable, bubblegummy, and not overly compelling. It needed meat, sustenance, something to truly be endearing.
Besides the name dropping, I did not like how the hero and heroine got together in the beginning. Did she have to be drunk?
I understand it’s contemporary but I just don’t understand why drunkenness is needed to urge a modern woman into bed with a handsome man or why a suitably charming, upright, dependable hero would agree to sleeping with a drunk heroine when he’s so virtuous in character.
I figure if they were smart enough for condoms, she should be smart enough to avoid getting to the point of slurring drunkenness even if her brother stood her up on her birthday. He should have been more upright and not taken advantage. I don’t care that he’s wanted to act on his attraction to her for the past five or so years. I care that he looks out for her.
Which brings us to the ironic part of this review as the hero is the heroine’s bodyguard.

I rather liked this one – although I did find all the name-dropping distracting. It was a shame that she had to be drunk at the beginning.
I enjoyed your points, so I’ve linked to your review here.
Thanks – it’s great to see differing opinions!
