Review: Spitfire


My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I wanted to like this short story. I really did. But the truth is, I sort of hated it. The "hero" was a complete asshole of caveman proportions. I get that he was into spanking and such. But his spankings came across like he was actually punishing the "heroine", rather than just spanking her for some sexy bedroom fun. I don't mind the men in my books being dominate. I'll admit, it's kind of hot. And authors that write about these types of men do walk that fine line of dominate sexy male versus caveman douchebag asshole. Our hero, Rem, came across as the 2nd type. As a result of the caveman hero, I didn't even find the sex hot.

I'm disappointed. This was the first Mari Carr book that I didn't love. Boo-hiss-grrr. So mad.

Review: The Darkest Prison (#3.5)

The Darkest Prison (Lords of the Underworld, #3.5)The Darkest Prison by Gena Showalter

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

The story of Nike and Atlas.....

I'm going to guess this little novella was written to introduce the characters because they'll appear in some of the other books....and the author couldn't think of any other way to introduce them.

I'm not a big fan of just kind of slapping a story together and throwing it out there - and The Darkest Prison gives off that vibe.

I mean - go ahead and read it...it's short....it will only take you an hour or so....but really, Gena....you can do better.
