Poison Kisses: Part 3

I have a super-sized headache today, so this review is going to be blingless...

Well, this one turned out to be the best of the three parts for me. We finally stopped with the around and around BS (although the first bit was a bit repetitive). But overall this three book series was my least favorite by this author.



I usually love this author's books. She knows how to write a fantastic story without all the cliché tropes and OW shit. So you can imagine my shock when I opened part one super excited to read it only to be smacked in the face with a sex scene between our hero and some skank (I am just kidding she was probably a very lovely person lol). I know what you are thinking; Eve you are just too picky! I admit I AM sometimes. Especially when it comes to POINTLESS OW stuff, and that was the case here because does that OW plays a part later in the book? NO. Do we ever even see or hear about her again? NO. It added ZERO to the story. In fact, the hero is all up in Amanda's business a mear few hours after having his dick in this OW. So what the f-ck was the point of that scene? Did I need even to read that? I didn't. Strike one...

Now, I could have gotten over that IF during those three years apart the heroine had been getting herself some. If it's good for the goose it is good for the gander I say. Well HELLO, cliché number two. The heroine stayed all shiny and fresh never to welcome another penis (instead she got a cat lol) while of course as you can see from my comments above the hero got around and around and around. Strike two...



I think in this case my expectations got the better of me and the clichés that this author usually does a fantastic job of avoiding colored my feelings over all three parts. I'm sure had the author left out that pointless opening scene my rating would have been higher. Maybe that isn't fair on my part, but pointless OW and cliché topes are getting be a HUGE pet peeve of mine lately.

That said, I am sure my overly picky a$$ will be in the minority. C'est la vie...
