My
Thoughts:
The
Cover: This
one was sent to me with the original cover, which I really liked; a
darker cover of a muscle-bound, tattooed males chest. But the new
cover is different. A couple together; she is focused on him while
he is looking away. It is a nice enough cover, but I think I liked
the first one better.
The Plot: The Lover's Secret sounded like an awesome book when I first received the information from Miss Reed. Intrigue, mystery, and romance; I was really looking forward to reading it. The first several chapters left me very confused, but once I figured things out, it was an easy read and there were moments of genius in the plot. I did feel as if I had come into the series in the sequel or in the middle of the story, as our main character, had a whole previous story to tell that I couldn't quite peace together.
The
Characters: I
was disappointed in the characters. I like a tough heroine, or at
least one that seems to think for herself, but I thought Brooke was
just way too trusting and easily led, especially after going through
what was obviously a very traumatic experience. While I felt empathy
and sympathy for our main character, I often thought “oh my gosh,
what a twit” because it seemed she couldn't pick up on signs right
in front of her face. As well, she seemed given to flights of fancy,
going off on a tangent about everything. I downright hated and
distrusted Jett right from the first peak in the bar, feeling a lot
of disgust. Even through the very length sex scenes, which go on
through several back-to-back chapters, I could not appreciate Jett's
character even a tiny bit.
Is
it Worth Reading?:
No, I found the plot hard to follow at times and just did not get
into the story. That being said, The Lover's Secret will appeal to
fans of contemporary; it was just not my cup of tea. I give it 3/5
crossbows.
