My Review:
Angel in Armani was a decent read, if
predictable at times. I found the story enjoyable enough, and read it within a
day.
There were a few fun bits of banter between Lucas and Sara, as
well as some steamy action, both of which made me happy.
It's hard to pinpoint why, but I wasn't sold on any of the
characters – not Lucas, not Sara, and not the secondary characters. There was
just something missing and I wanted their characters fleshed out a bit more.
For example, although I didn't read the first book I didn't see the connection
between Alex and Maggie, the previous hero and heroine. In fact, reading their
interactions in Angel in Armani, I couldn't believe they had
already found their HEA.
Around the 93% mark the drama blows up, and I spent that
chapter rolling my eyes at the way the two – mainly Sara – acted. Of course,
since it is almost the end of the book, things have to be patched up between
them quickly. Too quickly, in my opinion; the HEA ending felt a bit rushed
after the overly-dramatic-issues that were brought up merely a chapter or two
before the end.
My thoughts on Angel in Armani alternated
between merely 'meh' and 'I like it', hence the 3 ½ stars. It's a good read,
but, for me, it wasn't amazing, and to be honest I'll probably forget about the story by next week. Still, I just may try Mal's book when
it comes out, I'm curious about this story..
3 1/2 STARS!

Hmmm, interesting reaction. I listened to the first book on Audible and really struggled to keep going with it. I liked Alex well enough, but Maggie came over as self-absorbed and immature. It had a lot of unnecessary drama and it wasn't really going anywhere for the longest time. Sounds like more of the same. I wondered when I finished if a new hero and heroine would make the difference. Apparently not.
Bummer! Mal does have possibilities. Maybe I'll skip ahead when his story comes out.
Merry Christmas!
*SIGH* Yeah, I just . . . There wasn't anything that I particularly disliked about this one, but at the same time it wasn't memorable. It just . . . was. Which is the worst kind of book to try and review!
Merry Christmas!
Hrms well with your reaction and Sophia having more of the same sounds like one I'd be okay skipping on. Always a shame when they just don't quite make it to great. Hopefully Mal's book will fall into place more for yall!
