So as you can see from my rating, I had a lot of problems with this book.
I'll start with the writing style. It was fast and easy to read, but that's only because it was practically non existent. There were no details, depth and a most of the time logic in the story and the characters. Some things were just happening because there had to have action and that was it.
My second problem was with the story. Untill one moment it could have passed as somehow realistic (not very realistic, but bearable), but from one point on I was feeling like the autor was just through random bullshit at the readers to read and I was lucky that the book was just 260 pages, because if it was more, it would've been an instant dnf.
My third problems were the characters. They were shallow, I couldn't feel them at all nor could I sympathise them. The only good thing about them was that they had a good and open communication and even that was questionable, because come on! You don't share some of the things they shared out of the blue. You just don't do it that way. And don't even let me start with the dialogues... Most of the time they were speaking I felt like what they were saying came right out of Dorra The Explorer and just couldn't take them seriously.
The erotic scenes were bad. Like really bad and I think part of why they felt ridiculous was exactly because of the dialogues. I just couldn't feel the spark, couldn't see the passion. Their relationship felt rushed and forced and I just didn't exactly care about them.
The most ridiculous thing, however, was the climax. Where did that come from?!? 20+ pages with a trial that could have been avoided to be written or it could have been a lot shorter. I felt like the author just didn't know what should be the climax and went with what she thought of first.
So, yes, I really didn't like the book and would not continue with other books by this author.
