Reviews for Enticed by His Forgotten Lover

[sweet_serenity · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I have mixed feelings about this book. For the first book, I enjoyed the intriguing angelic world and liked Violet as a character, but I didn't really liked the way the romance played out.

In this book the adventure/action side of things was great, and I like the idea of the scriptures. Meeting the pair of soulmates, and the rollercoaster that sent them on was also interesting. And of course, the chemistry between Licoln and Violet was amazing.

But.. I have two peeves about Enticed. Firstly, Phoenix. I felt that his sudden hatred of Violet and his want to kill her, was a bit crazy. It doesn't make any sense for me- maybe for an unstable psycho exile, but Phoenix seems pretty balanced. A guy shouldn't want to kill a girl- shouldn't even contemplate killing a girl (he had mixed feelings) just because she rejected him after he betrayed her. Perhaps if Jessica had explored the idea of his wanting revenge because Violet's mum killed his mum in depth, it may have been slightly more believable.

Further, it was excrutiatingly predictable. The traitor, Violet's angelic parent, the mastermind behind all of it... I was pleading in my mind whilst I read that it was all just Violet making wrong assumptions, but alas...

But anyhow, it was a good read. And although the third book won't be at the top of my reading list, I'll definately give it a chance. :)
