ArecRain (8 KP) rated Gabriel's Woman (The Lover, #2) in Books

I seldom ever leave a novel unfinished once I have begun reading it. There are exceptions, however, and this so called "erotic" novel was one of them.
The only comments that I can give after reading the few chapters are even fewer. Her style is like that of Hemingway's, choppy and a stream of consciousness so that I found myself constantly rereading the same sentences and paragraphs just to understand what the author was trying to say. To me, the writing seemed far to staccato to even enjoy. I don't think I will be reading any more of Ms. Schone's erotic novels.

I should have learned by now that I just dont like anything this woman writes. A hot cover does not make up for a uninteresting plot and unexciting erotic scenes.
I gives Brooks props for having a plot in the first place. Very few erotic authors even attempt it anymore. However, it wasnt a plot that interested me. Max going after the piece of tail that got away? Eh. Elisa hiding because of some tabloids and ending up getting the man she wanted in high school. Meh
The erotic scenes would have been good, if they hadnt all been the same! It was like Brooks copy and pasted the scenes periodically throughout the book. There was no variety.
And I guess I just skipped the part where they fall in love, because when it ended, I was left sitting there asking When did that happen? I cant say its the worst I have read, but it could have been a lot better.

ArecRain (8 KP) rated The Inheritance Murders in Books
Jan 18, 2018
I received a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.
A difficult read to get into. While I enjoy a good plot/mystery with erotica, I felt I had trouble staying focused on this novel. It was easy for me to put it down and step away and not be hounded by the usual what happens next? As whole, it was an enjoyable read even if it was a bit hard to follow. The characters were interesting to say the least and the erotic scenes were decent. Following a pretty graphic erotic novel, the scenes in this story seemed tame. I think I was just hoping for something more raunchy?
