Hello lovelies, So to save us all from having to read a huge review on the 20 or so box set of Sinful Secrets an anthology of different authors that rang from somewhat clean romance to steamy fan yourself and feel your face turn beet red romance. I decided to break this up into how I would rate the books separately. Warning this is not the order that the books are in the box set and there might be spoilers and some inappropriate topics due to the nature of some of the books. Please read at your own discretion.
First up is the one-star books or the books that I DNFed because I struggled so much with them.
1. Rival: Extended Edition by A. J. Macey. Good Lord, did I struggle with this one and I died when I realized I was only on chapter 4 because I can barely handle love triangles but when one girl has four or more guys in love with her it is like seriously, she is not even that attractive nor does she have a great personality. Honestly, I would gladly have read Twilight any day over this book because this was painful to read and the characters were so childish. I could not take the bikers seriously or Kiera as The Cat, the notorious burglar who stole things at the ripe age of nine. There were so many plot holes and in the little amount I had read which was the first four chapters and then the last three chapters because I thought it would get better at the end. Hell no, it got worse and I dread knowing what it was like before it got extended because it could have done with a lot less. It was not my scene so it is one star, but maybe it is the book you always needed and never knew you needed.
2. The Black Stetson by Verlene Landon. Nothing against the author, but it got too confusing too quickly and it felt like something I had already read a hundred times and I could not deal with deciphering it. I am at the point in my life where if I cannot invest in the characters or consider investing in them in the first chapter then I will not finish reading it. I, unfortunately, could not give one iota about any of the characters because they came across as too dramatic too quickly and I was starting to feel like a horrible person for not being able to connect or wishing horrible things to happen to them so that I do not have to listen to them whining anymore (I know I am a horrible person).
3. Naughty Behavior by Leah Holt. Another one that I could not get past the beginning because I was laughing too hard and could not take the characters seriously. They tried to be dark and I guess mysterious, but I couldn't connect to them. And the sad thing is that it is the shortest book in the box set.
