kim03's review against another edition

2.0

I didn't like:

• "The kelpie" side story (the snippets at the beginning of each chapter). It was pointless, and didn't need to be included in the book. Also, I hated it. This guy caught and chained a magical creature, and after using it for his own gain, it turned into a woman and they made love (and fell in love I guess? Though I wasn't convinced). Disgusting. Sorry not sorry.
• The sex scenes. Weird descriptions in that it wasn't romanticised but felt rather true to life which took me out of the story. It was overall very unattractive. Also, why was that man so godforsaken hairy???
• Parts of the plot felt a bit too pointed (as in, they were used to make a point but weren't really necessary).
• Content warning for disability. I'm not the right person to judge wether this was properly handled, but just know that ppl say some insensitive things.

What I liked:

• Parts of the disability representation 
• The beginning was quite charming and funny (until the actual love story started. My bad).

I was bored despite all of the kidnappings but kudos to Hoyt for making me love Trevillion after spending 7 books making me hate him.

Re-read. The following review is from my first read: Absolute perfection. I loved this so so much! So many great characters and the story was amazing. I loved seeing Phoebe learn what she wanted out of life and how to assert herself. James’s longing for her was so cute.

Hoyt does amazing work with bananas plots and delicious tropes. This bodyguard romance set in the 1740s is no exception! Perfect if you like grumpy/sunshine and agree that sometimes violence really is the answer.
