“The concept seemed very promising though, which was why I was so excited, but instead of feeling inspired by the story, I just felt like a lot of it was sad to me.”
~ Under the Covers

This is the first book I’ve read by Sheila Roberts. I honestly haven’t heard much about her, but I randomly wanted to give this book a shot because I liked the cover and sound of the book. However, I will say that this book wasn’t really what I expected.

This is a Women’s Fiction novel and although I have read quite a few different ones over the years, this one seemed a little lackluster for lack of a better word. I was kind of turned off by Moira’s ex in the beginning. I think he’s meant to be nasty but since the beginning, I just found myself not really into the book as much as I would like to be. The concept seemed very promising though, which was why I was so excited, but instead of feeling inspired by the story, I just felt like a lot of it was sad to me.

Needless to say, I was rooting for Moira. Her courage was nice to read about, but I think I would’ve connected with her more if more of her personality was shown. When I finished this book, all I thought of her was that she was nice. I would have liked a better reaction, so I’m not sure if I will continue with the rest of the series. But if you prefer more calm, emotional reads, then this might be a better fit for you than it was for me.

Blogger/Reviewer at Under the Covers Book Blog

I’m an obsessive makeup junkie and a compulsive reader. I like to call Under the Covers Book Blog my stomping ground, but when I’m not talking about books with my girls, I write New Adult Dystopian and Contemporary Romance under the pen name Ana Jolene (http://www.anajolene.com). I also work as a virtual assistant for authors. You also can find me as a reviewer and columnist for FreshFiction.com.

When it comes to books I’m pretty adventurous. I read everything from Paranormal Romance to Urban Fantasy, New Adult, BDSM, LGBT fiction, Cozy Mysteries and even YA. If it’s got the littlest trace of romance in it, then I’ll probably read it. That being said, my all-time favorite authors are J.R. Ward and Karen Marie Moning.

When I’m not submerged in a good book, you can find me musing about makeup and planners or dreaming about Kpop boys and beaches. Until then, check out my reviews and let’s talk books!
