Ten Recent Romance Novels That Could Have Been 5 Stars… but I wanted More From.
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.
Today’s category: Books I Wish Had More/Less [Insert Your Concept Here] In Them (for example: more/less romance, more/less world building, less info dumping, more/fewer pages, more character development, fewer characters, fewer descriptions, more suspense, etc.)
I decided to share my most recent romance novels that could have been 5 star ratings, but were 4½ stars because I wanted more __ from. Honestly, the blank space could be suspense, magic, sexy times, or character details. It's been a long year, and I am finding myself to be rather picky this year. So let's get started with this list!
Book Review | Foretold – Chantal Fernando (Fated Love Series, Book Two)
Foretold, the second book in Chantal Fernando's Fated Love series, picks up with Astrid and Rave as their relationship faces a significant challenge. With emotional depth and captivating storytelling, the novel delves into betrayal, resilience, and the power dynamics between the characters. Fernando's seamless blend of romance and fantasy kept me engaged throughout.
Book Review | Storm – Abbi Glines (Georgia Smoke Series, Book Four)
Falling in love with a man you can’t fully trust isn’t just unwise, it's a constant battle. Storm Kingston had busted into my life, shattering my well-maintained walls. He claimed I was his, promising to fulfill all my dreams. But I had already caught him in a lie that I couldn’t confront him about. To do so would mean the death of an innocent person. One would think that knowing his deceit and manipulation would be enough for me to shield my heart, but it wasn’t.
I was afraid the man also owned my soul.
The lies I don’t know… they’re the ones that will shatter me, the ones that could be my undoing.
