From Rags

From Rags - Suzanne  Wright 2.5 starsAfter arguing with myself for a couple of minutes now, I decided to go for a review.I didn't know a thing about the book before I started reading, so I didn't have any expectations whatsoever... BUT I had problems getting into the story right at the beginning.The setup was too unrealstic for me - Yes, yes, this is fiction, I know (I can almost hear the protests rushing my way) but I need to be able to imagine that this could actually happen and I simply couldn't. That alone put me off a little right from the start.When a book holds a warning that it "contains a bitchy female that curses like a sailor [...] and explicit hot sex in some very public places.", well then that's what it should contain but I didn't find much of that.Yes, Jaxx is a bitch (albeit a likeable one) but I've heard/read people cussing a lot worse (and maybe that should make me reconsider my book choices), so it didn't warrant a warning for me.Next comes the sex and I don't quite know what to say because I found it a bit boring and thus skipped many of the sex scenes. The story certainly had potential and I really liked Jaxx, she was different from the usual heroine and amazingly outspoken/blunt. Connor however annoyed the hell out of me as he was too exaggerated for my taste. I don't want to knock this (because most of us realize how much work authors put into their books), however there's not much more good I can find at this point - it simply wasn't my cup of tea and I had troubles warming up to it. So give it a try and see for yourself if it's something that you might enjoy :).
