Fade Into You - Review

A few days ago I finished, Fade into You, by Kate Dawes.  I gave it 3 stars and you can check out my review on goodreads in context.

My biggest complaint is from the very beginning I felt as if i'd read it before, considering it was a pretty good mix of the Fifty Shades books and Crossfire, I'll assume that's why.

Putting that aside it was very short, (yes I know it was a novella) but if you're going to make a trilogy of novellas why not just make a single book?  The writing was very slapdash and felt more like the author edited a first draft of plot snippets rather than a fully fleshed out and expanded upon outlines.

Max and Olivia had a VERY quick start, one minute she's worried about loosing her job and thirty seconds later she draped over his office couch, really?  But then it gets better, they've both got a bad past okay fine, but she still enters their "relationship".  Olivia can't figure out what's up with her roommate, uh.. huh... And the first time she sleeps with Max he immediately takes her home and doesn't call for a week but she forgives him and goes gallivanting all over the country with him.  Way too much like reading a soap opera.

Entertaining, quick-read if you're looking for something fluffy, but if you want something with deeper more thought-through characters you're better off with another series.
