Aria Cole

Indie ist in die Copper Mountain gekommen, um einen Neuanfang zu wagen. Sie ist auch vor einer arrangierten Ehe geflohen.

King liebt die Einsamkeit seiner Range und möchte keine Beziehung haben. Bis er Indie trifft.

Es ist eine kurze erotische Liebesgeschichte. Bei dem Cover dachte ich, dass die dementsprechenden Szenen explizit sind, insbesondere nach dieser Beschreibung von King in diesem Buch. Die Szenen sind aber eher wischi-waschi. Es wird nur angedeutet und man fragt sich manchmal: "Lagen die nicht gerade andersherum?"

Der Storyverlauf fühlt sich an, als hätte man eine erotische Kleinstadtgeschichte vor sich, bei der aber die eigentliche Handlung weggelassen wurde.

Leider gab es hier einige Grammatikfehler, vermutlich der Übersetzung geschuldet.

Das Buch, besser ausgearbeitet und mit tatsächlich expliziten Szenen, hätte mich dazu veranlasst, die ganze Reihe zu lesen. Aber so nicht.

I bought this book shortly before I attended RARE17 in Berlin to get it signed by the author.
I hadn´t read a book by Aria Cole before so this was my first.

The writing was good. I liked the characters as well. I loved the flirting when they met. The story itself- yeah- well nothing really new. I liked the two epilogues, though. SPOILER START: I´m totally into books with pregnancies and babies. I loved for them having some kids, although I wished to have read more about it. SPOILER END The Sex was maybe a bit too much for me. I´m usually very open minded but I want more story than sex. The Sexscenes were fine but they did it a bit too often. With books that short, I´d have preferred to have read more about the characters. The way the book ended was fine. I had no questions left.

But... I don´t know. I read a couple books with not so many pages and I think those aren´t for me. The stories are usually rushed. Everything happens so fast. There is not really a developement of characters or the storyline. I just can´t fall in love with such books :/ That´s what happened here too. I really hoped that this book would be different and that it would make me fall in love with short stories. It didnt :( But that´s because of me and my taste in books. It´s not the authors or books fault. The rating and reviews show that there are enough ppl who like them and it´s fine :) Anyway- As I said- the writing was good and because of that I definitely plan on reading other books by Aria Cole. Just because I didn´t become a fan of this book, doesn´t mean I couldn´t fall in love with her other books. So I´ll keep my fingers crossed that this will happen with her other works.

I started this book because I needed sth fast to read and as it doesn´t have many pages, I got what I wanted. So if you´re looking for sth short and fast and sth not that complicated to read- this one might be the one for you.
