Check Out An Inconvenient Obsession Crafted By Natasha Tate Ready In Kindle
to midland read about reunited sweethearts, Another reviewer, Kelly in, hit the nail on the head with her comparison to sitelinkAgain the Magic, This was almost like a modern day version,
I didn't feel the need for so much angst and anger, The reasons for the adolescent breakup was weak,
ariahidden"true" class"spoiler" for"dafebaf">I mean, what teenage girl selflessly lets go of her true love so that he can go on to greater things in life
Also, I'm not a fan of authors that have pages and pages into chapters and chapters of the same scene, the same day or the same night.
Come on, move it along, I prefer a longer timeline of events, This reminded me so much of "Again the magic" by Lisa Kleypas, I read aboutof this till now so let's see the similarities between both the bookswarning spoilers below:
the kind housekeeper who saw both the H and h grow, and when the hero returns and wants her to stop working in the h's estate and move with him, the aged housekeeper insists that she won't leave the h because the h needs her.
a very beautiful h who has a relationship with the house's help boy and they both grow up together having feelings.
they never consummate the relationship while they were young
the h breaks things off with the H because her father sorta blackmails that he'll offer the H an internship in exchange.
the young H in love was adamant that time that he'll only leave if she forces him to and therefore the h comes up with cruel things to say to the H about his position, wealth, belittling their love, etc to push him away.
the h has an accident which causes scars in her legs
the H becomes a moneyed famous person and returns to the h in the guise of a business deal.
the H seduces the h with the intention to cleanse his system free of the h's memories and the pain,
For their first time, the h insists that they don't have sex in the bedroom because the H might see her scars and be repulsed.
Therefore she convinces the H to take her against the wallin Lisa Kleypas's book it was against a tree, Rest same
In their first time, the H finds out the h remained a virgin all this while and he is shocked.
When the h says that the first time sex is all they'll have, he shouts that this fifteen minutes doesn't equal the years they spend apart, that it's only over when he says so, that he'll have her whenever and however he wants, etc etc.
This dialogue after the first time sex reminded me the most of the H and h's dialogue in Lisa Kleypas book, You can compare and see,
This all is off the top of my head, I'm not continuing the book right now because of the same reason I didn't like Lisa Kleypas's book the hero didn't seem to remain a virgin for the heroine while they were young and in love.
I understand that he slept with women in their separation after she hurt him, but it's not acceptable to me that he didn't seem to control his libido enough to wait for the heroine to share their first time together, especially given that they are childhood loves.
These are my observations till thepoint, I picked up this book because I met the author and thought she was sweet, Now, I don't usually pick up categoricals, but I read the back cover and I liked it, I figured it would be a good book to read on the plane ride home, so I bought it,
I won't rehash what the book is about here, because the back cover sums it up quite nicely, What I can tell you is this: this is the first time I have ever thought of writing the author and saying, "Hey, you don't know me, but I loved your book.
"
See, I'm not a person who writes fan mail or hate mail, for that matter, In fact, I've never done it, not even in my biggest "fan girl" moments, Yet I'm considering it even now,
I loved this book, It was remarkably well written, In fact, I started reading it at the airport and finished reading it that same night, because I literally could not put it down.
The sex scenes were well written, surprisingly frequent, and hot, The pace was fast, and the characters were delightfully flawed, I loved Ethan, the dark and broody hero, I loved Cate, a heroine who was both literally and figuratively scarred, and still in love with the hero so many years later.
This is a little jewel of a book, Atpages, it's not long, but it was so tightly written that even one more word would have been too many, I really liked this book, ed by Desere
Book provided by the author for review
originally posted at Romancing the Book
In her debut novel Natasha Tate introduces us to Ethan and Cate.
As the blurb suggests these two are destined to rekindle a passion so fierce it seems it never burned out, The author took me on a magical journey of old flames reunited, secrets revealed and unforgettable passion ignited!
What I liked about the book was the way in which the author introduced me to the characters, giving me ample personality traits and looks to allow my imagination to create my own picture as to what they look like and understand how their heads work.
In some books I have really had a hard time trying to match the characters up with the information given and most times I fall back on plan B, which is to look at the front and try to see if the images on the front cover matches up.
I especially liked that the author does not leave anything to the imagination when it comes to the end of a dramatic scene.
Sometimes when reading a book and a scene comes along where there is an argument and it suddenly ends with one person saying something dramatic and thats it.
Then the next chapter would start as if nothing happened and I start to wonder if I missed a page, But this author does a beautiful job of guiding you through it all without it being boring and overwritten,
Natasha Tate is a true gem when it comes to her writing, her books are fun, fresh, brilliantly written, has unforgettable plots and amazingly memorable characters.
Ethan and Cate will certainly be with me for a long time,
Favorite Quote: “dont you know what my life is like without you in it” The Carrington family's island is up for auctionNow, that's an invitation Ethan Hardesty just can't refuse.
This groundskeeper's son turned global entrepreneur has it all, All, that is, except a piece of the Carrington estatethe island that holds all his most pleasurable and painful memories, Ethan doesn't count on the beautiful Cate Carrington handling the transactionand providing him with the perfect opportunity to take her into the bargain.
But toying with the woman who was once the girl he loved and lost soon turns from a game into an allout obsession.
Absolute trash. Didn't realise what is was until I was a few chapters in and then my "can't walk away from a book" philosophy kicked in.
Wish it hadn't . Liked the hero more than the heroine, Wow! This is the first HP I have read from this writer Natasha Tate, I am pleasantly surprised. This was very, very good,
I love the passion and the chemistry between them, And there were some really emotional scenes in this book, They were so very well written that it touched me,
I like a revenge theme, I like a besotted, dominant hero who cant stay away from the heroine, I like a virgin heroine, I like a H who cant keep his hands and other body parts off the heroines body, This HP novel has it all,
This is,stars, Or,stars.
The reason I chose for arating, is because I think that their miracle at the end of the book spoiled the end a bit.
The writer should have stopped there, And also because the reason that she broke up with him many years ago was just ridiculous, And the third reason for giving itinstead ofis that the first night they met each other after so many years, was described in too many pages.
It dragged a bit. I like the story to move on to the next day,
Nevertheless, I will be looking for more HPs of this writer, .
