Thanks to Netgalley and Ballantine | Dell for the e-ARC. Views are my own 2.5/5 stars.
This is my first foray into HBY's books. I'm not impressed. DNF at 40%.
Tropes: virgin-heroine, experienced-hero, moustached-hero, small-town-romance, Alzheimer
This book was just a collection of stereotypes. It's like the author made a checklist and checked off all things on it, without any regards to whether they made any sense or not.
1. Bisexual hero? Check
2. Virgin heroine? Check
3. Bi hero who has had 200 partners? AND mentions it to the virgin heroine? Check?
4. Hero who is (INSTANTLY TURNED ON) by the virgin heroine? Check?
5. Hero's (slight. ahem) sexual experience attracts heroine (REALLY, she didn't think that he has commitment issues? Like, at all? She was immediately turned on?)
6. Hero has had threesomes and thinks of them at opportune times, especially when he feels some sort of way about the heroine? Check. This one really made me feel the ick.
7. He speaks russian oh-so-fluently with the heroine's dad? Check
It goes on and on. I literally DNF it at like 40%.
