A review by loishojmark
Fit to be Tied by Mary Calmes
3.0
2.5 stars.
I don't understand the high ratings these books have gotten. The story reads as one long - emotionality distanced - reciting retelling. It's just a sappy romance, and even though the characters supposedly should be tuff and gruff, have a angsty baggage, and deep personalities, I simply don't believe it. I simply don't feel it. I read book #2 because I don't understand why people like these books and thought I might have been in the wrong kind of mood to read them. But I've read 2 out of 3 now and I still don't like them. Again I must conclude I do not like Calmes writing.
I will however read/skim through the last book. Just to tie off the bow nice and nearly.
