A review by laurjo
Another Dawn by Deb Stover
2.0
Luke Nolan is convicted of a murder he didn't commit, faces execution in an electric chair, then escapes prison by being thrown back in time. This is the start of a brilliant adventure in time, right? We're going to learn how time travel is possible? There will be some badass cowboys and Luke will assume the identity of a priest to blend in? Awesome! Then Sophie enters the picture...
... and she cries and whimpers because she lost her memory, but mainly she's horny. She knows that Luke holds the answers to all of her problems, but instead of demanding answers and holding her ground, she cries and whimpers and thinks about how heavy her breasts are getting at the sight of his "manliness" under his jeans. How can she be so attracted to a priest? Why does he always have an erection around her? Why does she remember airplanes and McDonalds and wearing ladies pants but the townspeople don't know what she's going on about? Obviously Luke knows. He's lying to her and evading questions, but she trusts him with her life because he's so sexy and she wants to bang him.
Now repeat that paragraph for 378 pages and that's the gist of this book.
I could have gone my entire life without reading this nauseating, badly written sex scene.
No longer gentle, he nursed her breasts like an infant, pressing them together to sample each in turn. "Sweet," he murmured, tugging and suckling, driving her to the brink of madness. Fever consumed her. He was all-powerful. Merciless. His tongue possessed her, his hands held her hostage. She shattered into a billion dazzling fragments as completion swept through her. Something wet sprinkled across her breasts, and she realized it was the champagne again, but now she welcomed the cold droplets because she knew what would follow. Her body wept for him as he left her breast and kissed his way downward.
He nursed her breasts like an infant? No! No! No! That's not sexy!
If you're looking for a good time travel book, this is not it. If you're looking for smut masquerading as a romance that happens to be set in the past without any explanation as to how they got there, enjoy.
