Jaded By Love - Book Review
Hello friends and lovers!
We’re back with another book review! I have to say, quarantine has been the year to read for me, as well as many others I’m sure.
Since beginning to write, books have become second nature once again. I used to read when I was younger, especially mystery type stories. Kinda funny how our genre taste changes. Ever since high school though, I have enjoyed romance novels and YA!
Enough about that though… A.J. Alexander has so many books, and unfortunately I did not know until I followed her recently and she promoted Jaded By Love. Seeing quotes of the book really sold me and I preordered right away!
It wasn’t until I received my ebook that I noticed it was book 8! Say what! They are all stand alone romances, but the characters are all related in some way, which makes it a fun Easter egg type of story. I love those kind!
This slow burn romance was great, because I kept wanting to see Conner and Audrey together, but once they finally got together, it was a sudden crash of lovely events one after the other, with sweet romance, heartache, and the whole whirlwind love! However, there were times during the story I wanted to shake Audrey, because of how wonderful Conner was with her, but she was wishy-washy. I really did want to slap her, but it made her a great character. It makes the story!
I would highly recommend this novella, it’s really touching. Below are a few points of what I liked and didn’t like. Opinions are solely my own.
What I Enjoyed:
The meet cute is so adorable!
I’m not a parent, and I don’t personally want children. However, this single parent romance really tugged at my heart strings. The love these two have for their daughters, is beyond sweet.
It reminded me of Parent Trap a bit, which made is even more fun! The author makes reference to it as well, which is cute.
It’s a very satisfying short read!
What I Didn’t Like:
There really isn’t anything, except I wanted to shake Audrey a few times and tell her to follow her heart! But that isn’t really a negative, it’s just part of her character and tension in the story.
Rating: 💋💋💋💋💋/ 5
Steamy Rating: 💋💋💋💋💋/ 5
The whirlwind romance was really sweet, sensual, and very fast paced, but I gotta say… what made it really steamy was the finger play in it 😏😉
