Believing no woman could hold his interest, Spoon feels the weight of bachelorhood settle heavily on his shoulders until he stumbles across an author book signing.
Riley is a part time romance writer who never expects to find a man to live up to the heroes in her books. Instead, she pushes through life on her own terms, happily single.
Just when they start to develop feelings for one another, fragmented family relationships come to a head and danger lurks right around the corner, threatening to end not only their budding relationship, but their lives as well.
Will they conquer the challenges and come together in love or will events out of their control tear them apart forever?
Silver Spoon is the fifth book in the Wind Warrior series and it's about my favorite character in the series so far. Which of course means I have very high expectations for this book. I think I may have set the bar too high. Hmm...
As romance goes this one is fairly good. Lots of emotions between the two main characters, Riley and Spoon. In the previous books enjoyed Spoon's personality and found his wit and comments very humorous and was hoping for more of that. Sadly, the Spoon in this book did not meet my expectations. He had came off more angsty . Nevertheless less, their story as it unfolds is sweet and as they discover each other secrets they find they have quite a bit in common. Romance blooms between Spoon and Riley while they struggle through challenges life throws their way. There's appearances from the characters from the previous books and everything ends in a nice neat little package.
Here's my problem with this book and the entire series. I have now read four out of the five books and they all feel like I am reading the same book. Each book has a big dog that was either adopted as a rescue or was found and rescued. Almost all the characters have parent issues. All but one of the lead women was a virgin. Almost all the men to blow off steam after a assignment were man-whores but meeting that special woman has completely changed them in a blink of an eye. When there is action/assignment that the Warriors have to attend to, their thoughts are always on that special person, how they may die, can't be with them and other angsts. There's more but I think I've made my point. While the stories are all nice, have HEA and no cliffhangers, there is a very set pattern and formula that each book has to contain. This might work for other readers but I like variety. I don't want to feel like I'm reading the same book over and over. I want each book to feel uniquely different. Unfortunately, for me, each book was too déjà vu for me to enjoy.
Over-all, this is a nice romance. It has a nice flow, sexual heat and a HEA. Anyone likes to read books with that combination will enjoy Silver Spoon.
I received this book from the JeepDiva for the express purposes of an honest review. The opinions and rating of this review are solely mine and in no way was I compensated.
Very Smart well written characters. Fantastic story. Superb description of their mini horse sized dog. I loathe how every woman in Ms. Meadows books has mysteriously remained a virgin. EYEROLL. Not cool.
I love this cover! Spoon is a member of the Wind warriors and loves his job. His father wants him to run his company but he has no interest. He is very frugal and likes his playboy lifestyle. Then one day he runs into Riley. Literally. Riley is rather average in looks. She is a writer and works at the gym he frequents. This story had a lot of potential. As a contemporary romance it was really very good. Both characters were very likeable but I felt a lot of it was repetitive. What really threw me off was its also labeled action adventure. With Spoon’s secretive job there were all sorts of possibilities of action and I waited. It was pretty much brushed over. I would have loved to see a bit of danger and intrigue that would easily present itself with Spoons occupation. But still as a romance it was very romantic and Spoon is every girls dream man. Well he would be mine. Recommendations: If you like a good romance, buff men, sexy secret agent type men, pretty redhead heroines, dogs, and finding ones true love this one is for you!
