Book Reviews of The Perfect Lover (Cynster series)
Book Review: A perfect bore
Summary: 2 Stars
I have one word to describe this cynster addition: boring. I can accept the repetitive characters and the same old plot but what I can't accept is just how dull and boring the first 300 pages were. Some boring parts are to be excepted, as Laurens likes her share of action and mystery and in between the events there has to be time to lead up to the next one but this book was pushing it.
It took 300 pages just to set up all the action and the secondary characters, as another reviewer mentioned, was more interesting than the main ones. I liked the different setting and honestly I'm not sure why Portia would get sexual experience when many men expect their wives to be to be unexperienced as she wasn't a widow but I have no idea what Laurens was thinking this time around.
She usually spaces the action out but this time she just crammed it all in at the end and while the events seemed different, the dialogue and set up were the same, repetitive to the word. It seems to me like she got carried away with the secondary characters and in creating the scene that she forgot to do what she usually does to her books until it was too late: add suspense. The result? A dreadfully boring book.
