Coming Up Roses (Southern Roots, #1)

by Lk Farlow

I'm a sucker for a pregnancy book, so this one captured my attention when I came across it. So, I dove in, not knowing what I'd get.

This was a good book. Well written, no glaring typos or anything. For a debut author, this is a good start. What would I like to see in the next book? I'd like to see a tighter, more concise book. Being that this book is set in the South and the author writes like WE speak, the prose can get longwinded. Farlow has the ability to express her characters well without so much inner monologue, she just needs to tame it a bit.

Sexytimes. Either go there and go big or don't or write a closed door with build up. There was plenty of groping and feeling up and I was surprised when the first sex scene came along and it was really short and kind of ended abruptly. If you're going to write those scenes, lead your reader along, make them feel what is happening. I have no doubt that this author has the skill to write a better sex scene but something like that does take time to develop.

Would I read more by this author? Yes, I would. Her characters were fun and interesting and very funny. I'd also like to see how her skill develops!
