Another twin book? Auuuugh. #TenderIsTheStorm
Enjoyed the prologue. The journey picks up a few years later, with our genteel heroine. Will I like her? Let& #39;s find out! #TenderIsTheStorm
And...another book where one sister is marrying a guy her sister loves. Don& #39;t these people TALK to each other? #TenderIsTheStorm
She tells dad her sister loves the guy she& #39;s supposed to marry and this is how he reacts. RUN AWAY!! #TenderIsTheStorm
#TenderIsTheStorm She runs away to Arizona and takes her cat. Who hates the heat. The cat is all like:
Heroine thinks the hero looks ruggedly male. Shit. She gone. #TenderIsTheStorm
Lol. In this book St. Louis is considered & #39;back east,& #39; which seems so weird to this Illinois native. #TenderIsTheStorm
Sam Newcomb, the villain, is said to be handsome but I keep picturing him like this. #TenderIsTheStorm
And he appears to be a sexual predator. #TenderIsTheStorm
But it& #39;s okay now because hero and heroine just banged under the stars. MAIDENHEAD UNLOCKED. #TenderIsTheStorm
Now hero and heroine are married, though neither one wanted it. I& #39;ll spare you the details. #TenderIsTheStorm
Heroine is now back in NYC but misses the hero because they& #39;re in love or some shit. Also, she& #39;s attracted to his twin. #TenderIsTheStorm
Meanwhile hero is in France, beats up the dude who broke heroine& #39;s heart and is now going to NYC for vengeance? SEXYTIMES? Pizza? Who knows?
But is it hero or his twin? Who can help us solve this mystery??? #TenderIsTheStorm
AND NOW HERE IS THE PLOT TWIST THERE ARE NO TWINS THERE IS ONLY SLADE. #TenderIsTheStorm
She had TWINS and no one mentioned it until the second to last page of the book??? #TenderIsTheStorm
"I& #39;ll tell you all about the kids you didn& #39;t know you had but let& #39;s bang first. The End." #TenderIsTheStorm
Now I& #39;ve finished all three books in my WTF Lindsey Trifecta Weekend. My thoughts...
AND I HAVE MANY OF THEM. #TenderIsTheStorm
AND I HAVE MANY OF THEM. #TenderIsTheStorm
I was lucky enough to read them in order of their shittiness...Fires of Winter was the worst, Silver Angel was marginally less shitty, and +
#TenderIsTheStorm was the least shitty book. Which, granted, isn& #39;t saying much. I would have enjoyed it more if it hadn& #39;t gone OTT.
Let me tell you about my first Lindsey. CAPTIVE BRIDE. A totally WTF sheik (UUUUGH) romance that went cracktastic bonkers at the end.
The kind of first read that sets you off an author for a good long time until you decide to accept the WTF and try again. So I did.
With ONCE A PRINCESS. I chose poorly again, and abandoned Lindsey. But then I read some less WTF books and accepted her for what she is.
But #TenderIsTheStorm went the CAPTIVE BRIDE route - it could have ended with a mildly WTF ending and not go too OTT with SECRET BABBYS.
Especially in the last two fucking PAGES, FFS! SO ANNOYING! Without that I would have called #TenderIsTheStorm a moderately good read.
But crack is wack, my Romance Twitter friends. And so my final gif thought on this weekend& #39;s reading is...
Tomorrow my brain and I shall recover with a nice Mary Balogh. No live tweeting (I know you& #39;re devastated). Hopefully next week STORMFIRE!!
