ashliesydel 's review for:
Romancing the Billionaire
by Fern Fraser
This is book 5 of 6 in the Galentine's Getaway. I am reading these books in the order that is set forth in both Goodreads and Amazon. It seems that each book can be read as a stand alone or in any order. Either way I'm beyond annoyed.
As mentioned in my review of book 2, this book contains word for word the exact same pages of the dinner scene with the bet that the 4 virgins of the group take on the task of losing their v-cards. I understand that these are all intertwined and that the need for the scene to be in each book is imperative. However, there is little to no change. It is like the author(s) simply cut and pasted. Each one could have written the scene providing more insight and prospective from their character and it appears only 2 of 5 have taken that task so far. *sigh*
Premise, 6 romance authors meet up at Lake Tahoe for a Galentine's Getaway/ writer's retreat. Each one finds experiences insta-love and gets an HEA.
This story was short, yet I struggled to finish it because of how annoyed I was. The storyline just doesn't do it for me. I feel like Emmy's prejudice is ridiculous. She is super aggressive as far as pursuing Griff; she refuses to let him talk yet has the nerve to make herself a victim.
I feel like despite the few spicy scenes there was a lot of fade to black. The connection was glossed over and we were just told that it existed versus getting to experience it.
Lastly, the epilogue pissed me off. Another author did the same thing where they list the other 5 girls, their spouses, occupations, and HEA. But this one even listed a damn baby that doesn't belong to the main characters. IF the sole purpose of this series is to be intertwined and encourage the readers to read all six books, why would you lay out the endings of all the other girls' stories??!!!
As stated above, I am reading this in the suggested order but thanks to this epilogue, I don't even see the point in reading the final book. Which is super unfair to that author.
With that said, I feel like the author did a good job setting up HER other stories. I am interested in learning about Griff's brother and sister-in-law. Hopefully the author's lack of commitment to this couple is an isolated thing as she did a fabulous job when it came to the spicy scenes which was the only saving grace.
