This story should have been left as the Edward/ Bella fanfiction it originally was. I enjoyed it as a fanfic - it was decent quality and pretty good for a fanfic story but not as a published work. But get your coins where you can right? 

The writing feels juvenile almost YA in nature but with mature elements and sex (that’s not well written). The first chapter drew me in and had me so intrigued but after that it went down hill. 41% in and I’m forcing myself to read it and life is too short. Also I absolutely a hire reading books where women are referred to as “females” and the main character is ‘not like the other women’ or in this case ‘not like other humans (females)’ 🙄.

This might be a soft DNF - I don’t feel any connection to the characters and the 4th wall breaks are throwing me off due to the randomness of when it’s used. I’ve tried to pick this book back up several times and at this point it’s feeling like homework. 

I used to love Nora Roberts’ romances and I was excited to start this but it’s not capturing my attention. I know Clare is a single mother and business owner but her life with kids is stressing me out. Her romance with Beckett is nice and he’s a good guy but this isn’t the life I want to read about. 

Just not into it - it feels a bit immature. The dialogue between the two love interests is interesting but something is missing. I don’t care enough to find out 

Poor writing  

It’s Nate and the romance. I can’t root for this romance no matter how much I love Vivica’s character.. Nate is problematic. I’m the sex scenes are steamy yay! But Vivica deserved someone better than Nate. He’s rude, misgnisitc, and if he harps on her “virginal” tendancies one more time.  I enjoyed the historical components, Vivica being a black female doctor!! But if the story was mail it about her without the romance with Nate then I’d definitely continue. 

I read Indigo as my first Beverly Jenkins book and expected the male character to be like the male love interest from the start. 

Good premise but the constant miscommunication and lack of communication between one another and their families was over the top. The characters are supposedly 30 years old but it reads like a YA romance. It wasn’t what I was expecting and I struggled to continue 37% through. Honestly, I skimmed the rest to see what happens and still wasn’t overly impressed. Cute cover though! And wish we seen more of her baking in her own shop

I think I may have read a few pages and could not get into it. The writing wasn’t good, I’ve read unpublished fan fiction that was better 

Maybe it was the timing of this book or it wasn’t fitting my “mood” at the time but I found it hard to connect with any of the characters or the situation. Stopped at 56%. I’ll read another book by Julie Murphy a different time though.
