Faking It
Description
Meet Hannah Thompson: wife, mother, teacher and… secret erotica author?
My Guilt List:
1. If we have a date night then I’m always asleep before it’s halfway through and honestly, if I had to choose, I’d rather have a hot bath and read my book than engage in any other nocturnal activity.
2. If we do actually have you-know-what then it’s not unheard of for my mind to wander… and I’m not talking about sexy things – I’m talking about what food there is in the fridge and when the car is due for its next service.
3. I am struggling to write about anything that could be classed as even a little bit sexually adventurous which is a problem when I’m supposed to be an erotica writer and I am speaking at Sex Con in exactly one month.
With a book to publicise, Hannah has no choice but trade her M&S cardis for S&M parties, and become her writing alter-ego. What could possibly go wrong…
My Review
I grabbed a copy of this book because the summary sounded liked a bunch of fun. While, I as reading this book, I still held hope that the laughs would come. Maybe they do come but sadly I could not stick around to find out. I got about a third of the way into the book and put it down.
I was just not connecting with the characters. In addition, it did seem to move slow. Underneath it all, I did see glimmers of hope and where this story was going. Thus the reason that I did try hard to want to "like" if not "love" this book. After reading some other rom coms recently, I was just hoping that this book would grab be right away. I may give this author another try in the future with another book.
You can request a copy for yourself to try on Netgalley. No archive date set yet but hurry as it will go away soon.
