Really another sex scene

I am not a prude, and I don't mind a little spice now and then but this is a 26 hour book and every other chapter is a graphic sex scene. You could easily reduce 10 hours if you cut them in half. It feels like the author wanted to bulk up the book and instead of developing the plot and telling a good story she chatGPTed a bunch of sex scenes and threw them in. After a while it's just repetitive and boring, here we go again... I enjoyed the other books in this series and wanted to finish but clearly the author had fatigue when she wrote this one.

I can appreciate mindless drivel as much as the next person, but this was beyond tolerable. Full of stereotypes, clichés and badly written sex scenes it was a struggle to listen to. The characters lack depth, the story is predictable and all conflicts are resolved with a punch to the face. I thought I would throw-up if she used the term "lady parts" one more time. I bought the book on sale, and its sequel thinking it would be a fun, fluffy romp. It was a waste of money.

One of the best audio books I have listened to in a long time. Narration superb, story endearing, Tom Lake has it all.

I felt the women characters were cliché. The story did nothing for female empowerment. The working mother is portrayed as cold and aloof suggesting it’s not possible to have a vibrant career and be a nurturing mother. The office situation resulted in the woman having to leave and the man getting off free. There are more examples I could give but it would spoil the story.

I enjoy a good light hearted romp through fluff as much as anyone else, but this one pushed the boundaries. The aunts were amusing (but overly stereotyped) and Meddy and Nathan were likable. Unfortunately the story line was too ridiculous for me.

I will never eat octopus again. Very tender heart warming story. It’s somewhat predictable but more like the fist sip of a great cup of coffee. You know what to expect and you are happy to take the next sip.

Good for falling asleep too. Not much else. I could not get through it, which is unusual for me.

No spoiler alerts here. The language in the book was poetic, and the characters were interesting. The plot line had potential, but the ending left a lot of loose ends dangling. One entire sub-story had no conclusion at all. What happened, is there a sequel on the way? Very unsatisfying!

Kristin Hannah is one of my favorite authors and I have read and listened to a number of her books. Where Five Winds was an epic and engaging book of some magnitude, this book was a bit of fluff. It was pleasant, a typical boy meets girl story. The story is very predictable and just not all that interesting.

Reading candy, all fluff no substance, but enjoyable. Kind of a true blood knock off. Cute for Halloween.
