My Review - The Dating Game - (25/5/17)
The Dating Game -
By Avril Tremayne
This is the second book in the series.
Both books can be read as standalone books.
I absolutely loved the first book, however this one for me just wasn't as good.
I so desperately wanted to like it as much.
I feel the characters was lost on the continuous dialogue between Sarah and David.
I understand the need for back and forth conversation I just feel the actual story was somewhat lost.
We meet Sarah and David in book 1.
I loved the first few chapters where Sarah and David discuss Sarah's disastrous love life. It sets the story up and tied in nicely with the previous book.
So when David decides he wants to paint Sarah, in exchange for helping Sarah in finding a long term partner (one that lasts longer than 3weeks) and what she needs to change or do to meet her man. I loved the idea. I was very excited!
David and Sarah clearly have sexual chemistry and with Sarah's best friend Lane having a crush on David. Neither are willing to take the sizzling tension to the next level.
The chemistry between David and Sarah was clearly obvious to the reader. The way David reacts to Sarah's every move/ touch is made perfectly clear by he's quick arousal, very early on in the book.
I am finding this difficult to write my review because I didn't dislike this book, i did enjoy it.
It was just missing something.
I just found the endless back and forth conversation a little tiresome.
It lacked the spark the first book had.
I missed the excitement and build up.
Maybe it was too similar to the first book that I was expecting more. I understand they are 2 different stories but the concept is virtually the same.
I think if I read this book a few months later and not straight on top of the first then I think my opinion may well be different.
I want to add that reading both books together for me probably wasn't the right thing to do. As I did find myself comparing.
I would also like to add that there is alot of sexual themes so approach with caution.
Overall a good read. I do hope there will be a story for Erica as she intrigues me the most.
I do recommend reading this book. It does have great characters, lots of sexual chemistry and some very funny moments.
Avril always creates the perfect sizzling and enticing build ups.
I do hope there is more to come from Avril as she is a very talented writer.
Perfect read for lovers of Chick Lit, Romance and Love.
