Bodice Ripper nonsense
I bought this because of the reviews. I have not read any of Ms. Hoover’s books, so I didn’t know what to expect. However, 100 pages in and I’m not going to finish. This is a bodice ripper “romance” novel. Not even a well written one, frankly. It’s baffling that books like this still sell in 2020! Nothing empowering. Women swoon over handsome doctors and sleep with them even when they “aren’t that kind of girl” because the doc is handsome and rich so...”let me go pretty myself up so he can have his way” blah, blah. What rubbish! I seriously don’t understand the reviews, but then again I never read any of that “50 Shades”garbage so I guess there is a market, it just isn’t me.
Anyway, don’t expect great literature with this one. In fact, set expectations really low and maybe you can get through it. Me? Life is too short to waste any of it on crappy books.
