A while ago I read “The Good Samaritan” by R.C. Boldt and I loved the story and the writing style so when I came across the Plot of “Too Good at Goodbyes” I knew I had to read the book.
For me the plot style was a little unusual, because when it comes to “star” novels I usually prefer the male lead to be the famous one. So this was the only thing I was uncertain of when I went into the book. But to my amazement I loved it. Probably because the author did such a fine job to make the female lead such a strong and clear headed person. She had no illusions and I loved the banter between the characters. The whole setting of the book made it feel real and I as a reader felt involved. Simone and Kane where amazing characters and if you love star/bodyguard romances you will adore this one. Actually I am not sure what I could add in my comment here as the blurb already gives a perfect impression of the plot and anything I might write here additionally would end up being a spoiler. So if you love this author and/or love Rock Star novels you should add this one to your TBR pile and enjoy it |
