Heartbreaker (Buchanan-Renard #1)
2.5 StarsI love Julie Garwood, but I have only ever read her HR books. This book just didn't do it for me. It wasn't bad but it was just okay. The 2 main problems I had with this book was Problem 1. There was detail overload. There was just so many details about everything. It really slowed the story down and made the plot drag. I got bored from the start. I kept asking my husband why do I need to know the color and make of a counter top? Why do I need to have a whole chapter for a secondary
Meh... It passed the time, but lacked the charm of her historical romances. Maybe she gets more in the groove in later volumes?Audio was average.
I am very late to be reading one of Julie Garwood's romantic suspense, especially since I consider her one of my favorite authors, and I love her historicals. Honestly, I had my pout on because she doesn't write historicals anymore, and I just never got around to reading the contemporaries, although I planned to do so at some juncture. I am glad I finally got that nudge from the Julie Garwood group on Goodreads, because what most of what I love about her historical book is here in Heartbreaker.
Well, it was interesting, but it didn't made me rave.The romantic part of the story between Nick and Laurant was lukewarm and didn't made me feel the fizz. It developed toward the end with one sex scene and soon after the usual "I'm bad for her, so I'll leave" trope. I didn't feel the love... sorry..The most interesting part was the suspense part. And I'm glad, because this is mainly a suspense/crime novel.Some tedious parts that could have been avioded, but that I didn't hate.So, summing all up
Oh boy *sigh*Julie Garwood is the first writer that introduced me to romance books through "The Bride" and since then she was my top favorite author EVER, not one of the favorites but THE favorite ^^ I've been biased to her Historical novels and refused to read her contemporary work since it was thriller-like, but oh boy what have I been missing.(BTW this is going to be my first review to one of her books, even though I read all her historical works and some even have memorized by heart, but I
Montgomery Clift in Alfred Hitchcocks 1953 I Confess.★★★★☆ (This is a review of the audiobook.) Ive heard Tanya Eby read before and thought she delivered nice performances; however, I wasnt thrilled over her narration in this one. Especially her supposed subtle French accent for Laurant Madden, the heroine who grew up in a French convent. It did NOT sound remotely French to me. Ms. Ebys diction is good, as is her pacing. Her differentiation of characters wasnt terrible, but Ive heard her do
