In all honesty, this book didn't come out the way I had thought. While I adore Christmas tales, this wasn't quite festive enough.
I'll try to review them separately when this eBook actually contains two short stories, One involves an event planner and a hot rock star-turned-producer who become stranded in a lodge; the other involves a theatre director and an aspiring actress who also become stranded in some way due to snow.
Snowed in with the Billionaire:
In Snowed in with a Billionaire, things didn't get off to the best of starts. The first time Ace sees Paige, he acts jerkily and without cause. For my tastes, his demeanor fluctuates a little bit, sometimes treating her with love and other times being a little bit harsh. He seemed to be only interested in having sex with Paige. Paige's inner monologue was absurd; if you want the man, go grab him or stand up for yourself!
The other "characters," if we could even consider them that, are so little in comparison that I really couldn't remark on them because I didn't know anything about them or see anything that made them stand out.
Christmas with the Billionaire:
This quick winter read generates a lot of heat. Even if some of their behaviors are hasty, Jill and Oliver are fairly likeable. They get along well with one another. Their arguments of contention were convincing enough, and the conclusion wasn't hurried.
But there isn't really any explanation for the MCs' immediate attraction to one another. We only see the guy suddenly drooling over the girl when she manages to catch his eye. How should I feel about this?
Overall, neither the plot nor the characters grew much in any of the stories. I found it difficult to care about what happened to any of them because of the undeveloped lot and MCs. Apart from the fact that it was set at Christmas, I didn't find this novel to be very merry, and the romance left much to be desired.
Yet, each of the stories were essentially identical, making them predictable. I don't truly think they are very attracted to each other because of the romances' rapid onset.
Although there were plenty of sexual scenes in Snowed In With The Billionaire, they came out too over to me and like filler. They weren't necessary to the plot, and they weren't the best written scenes I've ever read, to be honest.
Maybe I shouldn't be so upset since it was a free ebook that I downloaded from Google Books' "recommended for you" section.
Though I don't think I would recommend this book to anyone, if you guys want to give it a shot, by all means, do so! This book is clearly not made for me. Hope you find this book to be a perfect fit.
