Inna's Reviews > Calamity

** spoiler alert ** 3.5 stars. A good start to the series, I’m looking forward to reading more by this author one day. I liked her writing style, the storyline, and the pacing. I do wish that the connection between the MCs was based on more than just sex and mutual respect. This book has a lot of dialogue, good dialogue - but it’s mostly featuring the other characters, or during action scenes. I think if the author took the time to write more emotional dialogue between the MCs, their relationship would have felt less shallow. I also didn’t like the heroine’s betraying body syndrome in the beginning when she neared the hero, even though she did her best to not fall victim to it. Overall, the heroine was really strong and I loved that she never waited for rescue, she was always doing her best to rescue herself.

This would have gotten a four star rating if there had been an epilogue, but I’m sure this is a series where the character stories continue in the next book. Those are never as satisfying as a good epilogue for me though. I still rounded up bc I’m feeling nice.
