Crossing all my fingers for Samuel Rain to get a book

Wow, I see what all of the buzz was for. This was excellent!! Before I started it, I assumed it was a mystery thriller but I now see that it‘s more of a family drama with a love triangle. There is also a mystery, and I love the way the author chose to do flashbacks to “before” to show how we got to where things were in the first chapter. Really well done, I couldn‘t put it down. Would be a great movie, I think.

I enjoyed this and the grounding in details of the wool industry quite a bit ultimately, but waiting for the payoff had me anxious, especially given the relationship between them also gets so amped up and explosive.
And a #BookSpinBingo blackout, and it's not even the last day of the month! It just kinda. Happened.

My first visit to the #CatCafe in #Sarasota! I cannot tell you how excited I was to visit with many cute kitties! How I wish we could adopt them all!

This book had a lot of explicit sex. I don‘t remember that much in book 1. It felt like there was too much sex and not enough plot. The ending battle felt too simplistic and was over too soon. I enjoyed Blood Orange so much. This was a disappointment.

I am really sad about this one. I wanted to love it, but from the start I struggled. In the beginning, I struggled with feeling lost a lot with all the characters and magic info dump. The writing didn't work for me. I do not like the MMC nor do I feel any spark between them. Instead of banter, it just seems like petty arguing.
