Interesting Read,
This review is from: Revenge and Redemption (Paperback)
"That guy has been staring at you forever!"
What a great eye catching way to start a novel. Who is the man? Who is he staring at? Why? What will happen? Ms. Brumley quickly grabbed my attention with this simple sentence and kept it throughout a story that was both sweet and sexy. The story revolves around Penny Royale and Luke Hardcastle, both of whom have been hiding crush on one another for the past ten years and who belong to rivaling families. What attracted me about Penny's character and what makes her so lovable is both her innocence and the fact that she is a woman with curves insecure about her looks. In a world like today where top models grace every magazine cover and ad, I felt thoroughly identified with Penny and her fears. Even more so when like in real life there are women and men out there ready to destroy her little self- esteem. Something else that I particularly loved about Penny were her daydreams; they are both erotic and funny. Luke on the other hand is the knight in shinning armor which every girl wants: he accepts you for who you are, he is rich, handsome, caring, secretly and absolutely in love with you for the past ten years...sigh. I wish I had a Luke around. Reality is however, that this adoration the characters feel towards each other becomes a little repetitive. The issue is solved though when they start a more or less real relationship and the focus becomes convincing Penny that she's not living a lie. Although, their first kiss seemed a little too sudden and abrupt, it was intense nonetheless. Revenge and Redemption definitely had quite a few steamy and passionate scenes, without being vulgar or too explicit. Finally, I noticed an editing flaw on page 22, when all of a sudden the line ends with "End Excerpt" in capital letters. Fortunately, a minor mistake couldn't stop me from reading ahead and wanting to discover the fate of these two characters and their hidden passion. I was completely involved with them and couldn't wait to see how it all worked out. Originally posted at Whipped Cream Reviews |
