Terrible Romance
1 star
Corporate Executive, Roger Martell, needs a treatment for his sky high blood pressure since no modern medicine seems to be working. A chance encounter in an elevator with tempting Amber Smithson may be just the thing he’s been looking for.
Since Dr Amber was fired for practising alternative medicine, she’s made it her mission to help those in need. And Roger is definitely in need. But once he gets her into bed will she be able to leave?
This is the follow on book from Taking Care of Business – Roger was the hero’s best friend from that book. Having said that both book stands completely alone so you don’t need to have read that one before reading this one.
Unfortunately, while I really enjoyed Taking Care of Business, this book was completely the opposite. Amber wasn’t just unsympathetic but also completely unlikeable. Added to that she was preachy, stereotypical and annoying – not the ideal heroine. Roger was fine although a little blah all round. While there were plenty of sex scenes, without any connection or chemistry they all fell a little flat. In the end I couldn’t help but feel that Roger deserved someone a whole lot nicer than Amber.
On top of this I felt the story was weak and at times bordered on ridiculous. It was a real struggle not only to finish this book but also to even remember what the book was about once I’d put it down.
For a Blaze this was a real disappointment. I like to be swept away by the romance, lifestyles, characters and sex and this book didn’t deliver on any. 1 star.
