ellenareads 's review for:

You Can Run by Rebecca Zanetti
2.5

Romantic Suspense is a genre I used to read a lot more, so I was excited to see how I got on with this book. While it started okay, the writing got progressively worse as the book went on. The romance was very hot and cold, going from 0 to a 100 and then back to 0. The author tried a bit to hard to make the FMC unique and gave her so many different traits that at one point it started to become annoying. I did appreciate the way FMC was handling adversity at the male-centric job, as well as some female representation that was pretty good and varied. The plot was decent, but I think the ending lacked a punch for me. I think the whole plotline around her father has some plot holes.
The fact that he took of his contacts only in the instance of when he was raping her mother, but kept it a secret from the whole town since he had an upbringing that led him to hate his heterochromia.
It had me going like "huh?", so I was very critical of how that impacted the storyline by the end.

Overall, it was an average read for me. But, if you need something light to pass the time and you won't think on too deeply, check it out.

Thank you to Netgalley and Kensington Books for providing me with this ARC. All opinions are my own.
