Saving Shadow


 **
Strong PG
{UM}/{TMP} {L}
Not Recommend

I was excited to read this one since I was tipped off by an instagram post that it was free on Kindle and it was about spies :)
I don't think I have read this author before but was expecting something very similar to the other authors I enjoy.  It surprised me that, very quickly, I could tell her writing was a bit amateurish.  Little things were bothering me about her style and flow.  I was willing to overlook that if the story was good though.
Then she threw in a few swear words {Language}...the count was at 3 when I was about half way through the book.  They were of the mild sort and so, even though I was disappointed, I was willing to keep going.
Not too long after that though, it seemed like all the two main characters were interested in doing was kissing.  I kind of wanted to roll my eyes and gag at some points. {TMP}  Not only was that such a focus but she also spent too much time and effort describing those kisses and so I decided I didn't really want to finish the book.
Too bad, I was enjoying the plot but I just couldn't stomach everything else.
I would not recommend this book, nor am I really interesting in trying any others from Laura Beers :(

  1. I've struggled through a couple of her books and pretty much decided not to read more. Then she was part of a Christmas series I wanted to read and I decided to give her another try. Now I can't remember a thing about the book, but that says more about my memory than it does the book!
