Aaron's Patience by Tiffany Patterson
2.0
Aaron & Patience: They Could Have Been Great, If Not For His Attitude. Just too Much Going On Here.
Patience and Aaron met when they were very young. Their fathers were business partners and they have always been drawn to each other. Fast forward a few years later, as adults, they run into each other again and develop a romance. However, secrets are kept. Aaron was betrothed to another, and Patience was pregnant with his twins. Misunderstandings occur and Patience ends up raising Aaron's children for six years alone. By happenstance, they find each other again and Aaron is blown away by Patience's deceit concerning his children. He goes to sue for full custody... unless Patience agrees to marry him. she reluctantly agrees.
This story had so much potential. I loved the fact that this was an interracial couple, and the author didn't hit us over the head with that fact nor did she make a big deal about it. It is what it is. For that, its commendable and why I gave it a two-star rating instead of a one. Nevertheless, there was a lot wrong with this story and the plot execution. In short, there was just too much going on at one time. Too much as in too many tropes in one book for me.
This book contained all the elements of what makes an awesome novel, but the problem is that they were all compiled together in one book, making it a sloppy mess.
This one book contained the following tropes:
"Grumpy/Sunshine Hero"
"Strong FMC"
"BDSM"
"Secret Baby"
"Second Chance"
"Stalker"
"Marriage of Convenience"
"Paranormal/Supernatural" Element
Aaron was for all intents and purposes an asshole. He was just mean. for no reason, this man had the biggest chip on his shoulders and wouldn't even soften for his children. While I love a possessive hero, it was as if he owned Patience and his kids. Not because he wanted them but because he felt they were "owed" to him. He never softened towards his wife. In fact, the opening scene with him and Patience was a little over the top. that should have been my first warning but I pressed on. I should have followed my instinct.
This may appeal to lovers of interracial romance. It does a good job of not being offensive like some other books I've read but it just didn't do it for me.
Happy reading!
