![]() ![]() It was easy to lose focus many times here and that's exactly what happened. ![]() Pete and Addy's adopted children alone was a lot to take in besides the band members back grounds was a lot to absorb, adding more was unnecessary and took from the story. There was too much going on, too many nick names and different stories to their names and stories. It's one thing to read it but another ball game to feel the words, the emotions of what led them to this great love, the need that there's no one else in the world for them other than each other. There was A LOT of sex and it was really good but emotionally there was plenty lacking. for a split second in the end we received a vulnerable side of her toward Declan. (she was too many things to list really). Jane "Layla" was too hard, a military specialist, enforcer, killer, etc. It just causes confusion and takes away a softness the reader needs to feel through words for the heroine. ![]() I'm all for the fairy tale however, this was far fetched and if all that government stuff is in fact true, well, it's not something the normal reader would know or understand. My issues with I Hate Myself For Loving You? Well, after reading a similar series with mature rock stars recently I can't help but compare the two. For years it was my career but now that I've decided not to do it anymore I would be more than willing to help a new author out, services free due to the circumstance. I would have done it for her for free after reading about her health issues, without question, it's something I enjoy and am passionate about. I could be incorrect in my assessment but it appears this author did the revisions on her own. For years I typed, revised and edited books for authors that were unable to do so on their own for health issues so I understand the process. First, the typos, I can't stress enough that normally a few don't bother me and if you look up some of my other reviews you'll know I state a fact when I say most times they should and could be overlooked but there were just too many here to distract the reader. Well, unfortunately that didn't happen here. The maturity was what grabbed me and Travis rising to her challenge and Declan falling shortly behind him in line was refreshing. She started the healing process with her natural instinct to nurture beginning with Travis and working her way through his band mates after they lost their band mate, Andy, the year prior. I enjoyed the age of these rockers, they weren't young and the first female heroine introduced, Charlotte, was no push over but she was mature, strong and although she had her sweet southern respectful ways, through her intelligence, hardships and family connections, she played them all to her advantage for the good of all mankind. I read and have read a lot of them and book one held such promise with this group. Rock star romance for a while now is my favorite. I looked so forward to book two in Scorned Lovers after I fell in love with Travis and Charlotte's story in book 1. I can't say strongly enough how I wish I was given an ARC prior to its release because I would have loved to have communicated with this author. First off, I was not given an ARC and wasn't asked to give a review, nor am I a friend of this author. ![]()
