Hello, my fellow readers! I have been busy these past few weeks reading books by authors who I will meet in just one week!! I am attending the 'Readers and Ritas' event put on by Fresh Fiction. I have only read a few so I'm hoping to read as many authors as I can before the event so I am able to put a face to the name.
I have finished Gena Showalter's, "The Pleasure Slave". This is the first book I have read of hers. To be honest it was not one of my favorite's. I liked Gena's writing style, however the book just didn't grab my attention. The heroine, Julia, had a bad date experience when she was young and ever since she has been self conscious about her looks. She is an average sized woman but doesn't feel she deserves someone who is movie-star gorgeous. Luckily her sister has always backed her up and been her support system. When the hero, Tristan, comes into the story Julia is overwhelmed by his good looks. Instead of setting her sights on him, she sets her sights on her neighbor who Tristan calls 'Puny Peter'. I liked how Tristan was vulnerable to opening himself up to Julia. He has a past where he doesn't believe in love, however he notices Julia is different than other women. Even though this book was not my favorite it has not put me off of reading Gena. Once I finish a few more authors for 'Readers and Ritas' I will come back to her!
Next up is Louisa Edwards, "Can't Stand the Heat".
Stay tuned...
