Illicit

I really wanted to like this more...

I was intrigued by the description but this was a little disappointing for me. It has a strong start! Stargazing on the beach discussing history and mythology made Carson seem really dreamy. Unfortunately, all the love scenes left me feeling lukewarm. The plot overall was just a little too convenient and Lynn and Carson's push and pull started to be more annoying than enjoyable. As characters, I liked them okay and they had some depth but I was somewhat disconnected from them. As much as I love mythology, the references started to veer towards the cheesy end of the spectrum towards the end of the book. That said, there were some genuinely sweet moments and a couple of interesting plot twists that I won't spoil.
