#REVIEW For 100 Nights by Lara Adrian

For 100 Nights by Lara Adrian
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

As I said in the last review, this book did not contain a strong plot. But for many romance readers, the relationship between two people is enough plot to keep turning the pages. Emotions took center stage in this series.



This installment wasn’t long; therefore, this review won’t be either. Caution: if you do not care for love scenes, you need to bypass this one too. Frankly, I was tired of them, so I skipped them and didn’t miss any key points.

In this book, some loose ends were wrapped up. Finally, we learned the identity of Avery’s mystery caller and what his intentions were. We also learned if this person had a hand in Avery’s mother’s hospitalization.

OH, and thankfully we FINALLY learned Avery’s terrible, horrible, despicable, life debasing secret. I was overjoyed because I was sick and tired of all the hint dropping. These books were written from Avery’s POV, so, we were left in major suspicion on the details of physical Nick’s scars. Nick’s background was revealed in the most unexpected way. He didn’t share the details of his past with Avery through pillow talk, but his past was shared with Avery by someone we never expected.
That ‘someone’ was perceived to be a villain, perhaps a troublemaker in Nick and Avery’s world. But this someone helped Avery. And as we learned more about this person, we decided she is definitely not a bad guy.



The ending (rolls eyes) was weak. Avery’s reason for running away from Nick made NO SENSE and was the absolute DUMBEST. Could someone please explain to me why Avery was always whining about the fact that Nick didn’t think her art was good enough to be in his gallery, BUT she walked out on him after she found out that he was attracted to her portrait, bought it and he had to track her down. OH, BTW, AVERY PAINTED THE PORTRAIT!!!!!



Poor Nick couldn't make Avery happy no matter what he did! We think he should let her go forever.


RATING (minus the stupid ending) THREE ½ STARS
One cup of coffee was enough to get us going the next day.

#REVIEW Shark's Edge ~ by Victoria Blue & Angel Payne

Shark's Edge by Angel Payne
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

First, we'd like to thank Waterhouse Press for providing a copy of this book via Net Galley.

This was the first time we'd read a book by these authors. Over the years we'd seen the names Payne & Blue on some top blogs, so of course we wanted to request this title. However, regardless of these authors' great reputations, this book just didn't work for us.



One of the issues we had was with the pacing of the story. This was probably one of the slowest books we'd ever read. At 26 percent into the story, we just couldn't take it anymore, so we skipped over to the 55 percent mark. But even with all the missed pages, we discovered that we didn't miss anything. Actually, the only thing that did happen was a LOT of inner monologue. The main characters constantly hated/liked/lusted after each other.

Enough already! Get on with it. :(



Also the heroine, a caterer, was ultra boring. Shark was an nonredeemable anus.



The acknowledgements in the back matter of the book mentioned the involvement of several big name authors who were involved in the crafting of this story. But sadly, the popular list of names just wasn't enough to keep us interested in the other installments.

OUR RATING:
2 Stars

One Cup Of Regular Coffee


We weren't up all night reading this one.
