INDULGENT BUT NOT POIGNANT,
By Desmond Chan (Bishan North Singapore) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Indulgence (Paperback)
INDULGENCE is one seductive book that enchants and could have the potential to be so much more if not for the lack of nuanced emotions in the stories.The Masquerade Cruise story by Connie Bennett is one that strictly belongs to overdosed fantasies about an actor on a cruise finding unexpected sincerity and love in a masquerade. Thea Devine's story creates blazing sensuality with the hero, Nick of a story about a simple love-triangle and admitting desire before a wedding. Olivia Rupprecht dishes a story of a romance writer falling in love with her editor who firmly believes in her sensual stories to sparkle and incite. Evelyn Roger falters in the department of sensuality with this one, a forgettable tale of a woman learning love at first sight. INDULGENCE is a fleeting read and one that is made up of sensual pleasures and fluffy dreams. The sex and romanticized elements are as indulgent - and as empty in emotion-stirring. It engages but is not as poignant since characterization is vague. A pity - for this book has more than the potential to dish only castles in the air. |
