Our Way

"I didn't think I'd like it as much as I did. It was good, kept my heart racing, never knew what was going to happen. "

"Warnings:<br/><br/>— A lot of telling and NOT showing. TL Swan needs to go back to writing school, apparently.<br/><br/>— Heroine was somehow celebate for the 6 months while they were apart, meanwhile hero was swimming in stripper *****.<br/><br/>Yeah, not very romantic.<br/><br/>REVIEW:<br/><br/>Intriguing premise and some cute moments. But that's where it all stopped.<br/><br/>T L Swan also skipped over a bunch of steamy scenes.<br/><br/>Look, authors, telling me how much they've had sex is not the same as showing their sex scenes and their sexual chemistry.<br/><br/>I'm not even picky, because I don't necessarily mind the miscommunication trope, but when you pair it with very little sexual content, for a couple who allegedly are "hot" for each other, then it becomes a disappointment and a chore.<br/><br/>2 stars for writing a queer hero in an MF romance book, I guess that's unique and new.<br/><br/>Although the heroine's insecurities were valid... to some extent, all she had to do was ask direct questions to the hero to confirm her doubts. I was getting annoyed listening to her complaining about how worried she was that the hero was gonna leave her for a man.<br/><br/>So embarrassing, and not very sexy in a romance book.<br/><br/>Also, I could have done without her friends' drama. The whole thing with her best friends being obsessed with some guy who filmed his prospects was...uninteresting at best, annoying and time-wasting at worst.<br/><br/>This hero was... not well written.<br/><br/>I understand for the miscommunication trope, T L Swan had to do some things, but making your hero utterly unsmart and uncommunicative, and literally spending 6 months away from the supposed "love of his life" without once checking up on her was...well, it made this hero not very sexy, and I myself started to have doubts that he even loved her.<br/><br/>Especially since there was no grovel on the hero's part."

"Couldn’t put this down. I was not expecting this type of relationship/romance story but loved how real it was and love how different it was to other romance stories. Highly recommend"

"Great"
