2.0 out of 5 stars Lukewarm and disappointing, 14 Sep 2006

(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: About Last Night... (Blaze Romance) (Paperback)
A near death experience has left Miranda Carter wanting to finally see what is between her and her best friend Colin Jacobs. But Colin thinks that Miranda loved his deceased brother and cannot accept that he isn't her second choice.

When Miranda's planned seduction goes wrong and Colin is left with no memory of the night - Miranda decides that it is a perfect opportunity for a little lie. Colin doesn't remember the night of passion that Miranda describes and decides a repeat performance is definitely in order. But Colin really wants to know what happened that missing night.

Despite this rather unique and unusual premise - there were rather a lot of problems with this book that stopped it from getting more than 2 stars.

Firstly, unfortunately all the characters are quite bland and it's hard to muster any support or sympathy for them. Miranda constantly swings between being a strong woman to being weak and whiney and she really carries on her lying too long for me to like her. Colin is also an uninspiring hero and he gets over his objections to a relationship with Miranda so quickly that you can barely believe it was the source of most of the conflict. Even the secondary characters can't be called interesting.

The sex scenes are brief and very lukewarm - this would usually suffice but it's a lot less than I would expect in a Blaze romance which is supposed to be a 'scorching hot sexy read'. Definitely disappointing.

There are also numerous random plot points throughout the book that added nothing to the story. The sexual harassment case, the dog abuser, Miranda's accident - it was as though there was a larger story but we only got to see a fraction of it.

Having said all that - there are still some good points to the book. It is a quick read that you could easily finish in an afternoon so it doesn't take up a lot of your time and concentration. The plot is definitely unique although I think that the author might have been more successful if she had treated the story with humour instead of trying to make it so dramatic. The writing is not bad and the story does hold your interest right through to the end which is definitely a plus point of any book.

Overall - this story isn't terrible and possibly more deserving of 2 and a half stars than of only 2. Having said that I would still suggest that you pass on this book, unless you are a fan of Samantha Hunter, and maybe pick up another Blaze book for a hotter more satisfying read.
