Ruined by the SEAL (Hot Caribbean Nights, #1)

by Zoe York

[pamela]

Well, that's another trashy romance read done and dusted for the year. It's a Christmas tradition of mine to allow myself a guilty pleasure.

I was actually genuinely impressed by the quality of the sex scenes. They were steamy without being crude, and romantic without too much sighing or eye-gazing. The characters were pretty flat, but let's be honest, deep characterisation is not exactly why we read these sorts of books.

But...but, but, BUT.. Zoe York has no idea how legal accessioning or the heritage industry works. None at all! I know that shouldn't have bothered me so much, but Cara, the protagonist literally had the job I did for most of my 20's. I'm a professional historian and I can tell you now, what Cara knows about historical conservation and preservation would have had her fired long before the events of this book.

Seriously though, I read the whole thing in an hour, and the experience was ridiculous enough for me to enjoy myself. So there we are.

See you all again next year!
