A Bit of Rough by Jackie Barbosa
Publisher: Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op
Release Date: July 1st 2021
Rating: ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
This book was a fun read, it just wasn't a five-star read for me.
The good:
- Interesting characters with dynamic interests and a past that makes their love/lust at first sight believable.
Solid basis in historical events, the weaving in of period-specific political movements gave the setting a lot of interesting dimension.
Diversity that well reflects the actual make-up of the time period.
The romance is sweet and hot with the expected HEA.
The not-as-good:
Resolution is slightly too neat, several characters make an about-face that gets the book wrapped up, but don’t necessarily keep in character/theme.
While I love the love at first sight trope so much, the whole book felt rushed.
I would still recommend this book, and look forward to more in the series, this one just didnt knock it out of the park for me.
