Tangled Hearts

This book was an utterly complete disappointment for me. What started out promising soon sunk faster then the Titanic!!



I don't even know where to begin with this review. The first 20% of this book was good. I loved Cal and Melody wasn't as annoying as some of the other heroines by this author. The one liners they were trading where hilarious. Then...nothing happened for basically the whole of the book. We don't even get sexy times until 85% into the damn book! Maybe had there been some over the top sexual tension it wouldn't have been so bad, but nope, just BORING BORING BORING. The Christmas scene was especially LONG and, you guessed it, BORING.

I enjoyed Cal for the most part, he was on board the insta-love train basically from the beginning, why I have no clue since Melody was basically TO STUPID TO LIVE, and a bitch, and super annoying. At the beginning of the book we get exhaustive inner dialogue from Melody about what a cheating two faced, compulsive liar her ex is. Yet she doesn't think he could be the one that is harassing her with hang up phone calls (which she tells no one about), or leaving her threatening letters (which again she tells no one about) Even after to confronts her and wants her back, and threatens her over the phone. She eats cookies that her ex's parents send her without checking they have peanuts in them, and of course they do, and of course she is deathly allergic to them!! This chick deserved to die, and quite frankly I wonder how she survived to reach the age of 30. *lol* Don't even get me started that at 85% she throws out the "let's be fuck buddies!" That far into the book I should be feeling the relationship, again nope. I was just feeling bored.



That brings us to the ending. OMG, who the baddies turn out to be, and the reason WHY they wanted Melody dead is so frigging idiotic, that I am pretty sure my head exploded! SO SO disappointed in this one.



Side Note: On a positive note, the ONE sex scene was very HOT (I apologize if there was more then one. I don't think there was, but I did skim a lot after 85%) I am also intrigued by Austin. I'm not sure it is enough for me to give this author another go, but we'll see.
