It Was You (Abby and West, #1) door Anna Cruise
This was a cute book. It wasn't too racy which I appreciated. The romance seemed to progress at a somewhat normal pace which was nice for a change. Yes, there was the 'insta-chemistry' factor but it wasn't nearly as ridiculous as it is in other new adult books. The drama was realistic too, which again, is a nice change for new adult books!
A refreshingly different paranormal/fantasy ya story centering around celtic folklore. A wonderful heroine who starts out being a typical teen but by the end of the book has reached a maturity and gains much strength that the reader can't help but feel admiration for her. Like a magnetic pull this book tore me away from another book I was reading and kept me glued to each page. I was a lttle surprised to discover there is to be a sequel but am defintiely looking forward to it.
This would have been a perfect five star read for me but in the end I was just sort of left... unsatisfied. As it is, it's more of a 4.5.
I feel horrible about it because it really had everything.
A great hero and heroine, with awesome chemistry.
A great story line that I breezed through.
Something a little different than your usual NA romance.
Low on drama! Yay.
Kellen is really just misunderstood. Love these nice guy heroes. He didn't piss me off once, which tells you a lot since there actually were a couple of things he did that were debatable. But I felt everything he did was in character and not the author trying to create a swoon worthy manwhore. Which he wasn't really.
And Gina was such a great character too! I mean she's a strong female character pulling through after all that's happened and she really came off as smart and confident (for the most part). I just didn't like that she kept intruding with her POV.
This was supposed to be an all male POV book, dammit.
I love all male POV books.
Actually, the reason I wanted to read this so bad is because when Anna Cruise put up her ARC form thing, she asked a question about whether or not people liked reading male POV books. And I was like HELL YES. (I bought the book, btw, this was not an ARC. Just clarifying that.)
But I digress.
I loved the chemistry between Gina and Kellen, they hit it right off. It was insta-love but for some reason I didn't mind. I wouldn't have minded if she let it develop over a little more time, either, but eh.
So, did the author pull off male POV? I haven't read her other books and have no idea if she's done it before, but Maverick felt genuine.
My problem with the book? There weren't really supporting characters. Some passers-by, yes, but for the most part it's Gina and Kellen.
However, there was Jay. I would have loved Jay! You know that feeling when you mourn a character even if you never got to meet him? Yup, that was Jay for me. I was really bummed about his death (not a spoiler!)
One thing I really didn't like was the near-rape scene towards the end. Then they proceed to have sex. Ugh.
There are a couple of graphic sex scenes in the book.
Overall, I loved Maverick! The characters felt real, it was really low on drama, some of the things turned out way different than I thought they would be and I loved that as well.
Definitely recommend this book.… (meer)
