When Maddie is forced to sell her classic Cadillac it brings Nick Berlin amongst with a whole host of problems into her life. This modern romance is a combination of road adventure, crime caper and classic cars. What I liked about it that the characters were not black and white but were formed by their pasts and all the baggage that comes with it. Maddie, full of self-doubt due to the abandonment by her father, and Nick scarred by the behaviour of his own. The pace was at times a bit slow, but I liked the fact that this had a more interesting backstory than some other romances that I’ve read. A few surprises on the way and some sizzling romance.
In my case this book pretty much preached to the converted.
I hate when I search for a genre on Amazon a whole lot of dubious titles comes
up. If a lot of key words are added to the tittle I won’t give the book a
second look.
This was a very short book; well more of an essay into what
is happening in the book world just now. It took me just 30min. to read it and
I would say it was more of a personal crusade than an in depth look at the
current trends in publishing. That said it told me a few things I didn’t know
and I think anyone could learn something from this essay. Will it change my
ways? Probably not as I already hated spam books and recognise the signs. I
will also keep doing what I always do and that is to leave an honest review.
Will I do anything about spammers? Probably not, where there is a buck to be
made there will be spammers and charlatans, it is like always; buyers beware!
