Sin With Me, (Bad Habit 3), J.T. Geissinger
Review from Jeannie Zelos book reviews
Genre: Romance, General Fiction
Another easy to read book in this rock star romance series.
I feel I'm really getting to know the characters now and what I enjoy is seeing those from past books in the current ones, so we keep up to date with their lives, and it really helps that cohesive band book theme.
I love connected books like this, often I'm not ready to say goodbye to favourite characters but I don't want a complete book about them. their story has been told, but its also good to keep up with how its progressing.
JTG has a way of writing that lets the story flow and tell itself. I hate when authors kind of spoon feed me plots, point out whats obvious again and again, as if I haven't the intelligence to work it out from the trails already set.
The plot(s) here are pretty straightforward and its kind of easy-ish to see how things are going to unfold, or at least the end result, and the fun is working out how JTG is going to get the characters where they need to be.
I loved Brody and Grace, and trying to work out their secrets but I'd got a rough idea of what was coming by about halfway. They've both got angsty past issues to deal with, and hold secrets deep inside, so deep they don't even really acknowledge them to themselves.
I'm pleased he was a bit younger than her, that makes a change and I love seeing romances this way round, older men and younger ladies are standard, older ladies younger men not so much!
I enjoyed the band connection, though its a rock band romance only in that the guys belong to a famous band, not that anything connected closely with band stuff is here, no touring, no writing songs, creating music etc.
I also liked the way that keeping the previous characters in and bringing us up to date on them led to some excellent side plots that kept things interesting.
So many books revolve around just one main plot and then everything else is just filler, but here its all relevant to the story of the Band as a whole.
Now I've got further into the books and understand the characters better I'd like to go back and reread the first one, and I think it'd probably be a five star now for me instead of the four star I gave it at the time.
Stars: five, a fabulous read, fun romance, interesting mystery(ies) and its good to catch up with other band members.
