SWEET SURRENDER by Nikki Winter
November 17, 2011 in Book Reviews, bwwm, C Reviews, self-published, short story
Description: When Brianna Grayson tries to pull a love ‘em and leave ‘em on her brother-in-law, Dane Halima, she finds out the sexy way that this sheriff won’t take no for an answer.
The Good: I love that the heroine is big-boned. And Ms. Winter infuses humor in with her smoking hot sex scenes.
The Bad: I don’t mind short and sweet, but I abhor short and underdeveloped. Unfortunately this was the latter. Ms. Winter gives Brianna a great character profile, but leaves her emotional life and relationship with Dane unexplored. This lack of character and story development makes Brianna come off as overly-prickly, and though we’re told that Dane loves her attitude, we’re not shown why. For $2.99, this story was just too short — it could easily have been expanded into a novella.
The Naughty: Erotic, explicit sex scenes and language.
Editing issues: One typo.
Publisher: Beautiful Trouble Publishing
Length: short-short (like really short)
Final Grade: C
