Plot or Premise

A case of mistaken identity on a blind date leads to a one-night stand.

What I Liked

I don’t normally read romance or romcom, but I grabbed this off Kindle Unlimited because it was free, it sounded like it could be funny, and the initial question of the story — can you turn a one-night stand into a dating partner? — had some great potential. How do you go from sex without strings to a potential relationship?

What I Didn’t Like

The writing is lacklustre, the sexual escapades beyond unrealistic (neither very experienced but both are supposedly MIND-BLOWING in bed — it actually contains the line that he has ruined her for other men), and the characters more stupid than immature. Plus completely inconsistent — hesitant, unsure of themselves, constantly letting their personal squirrels mess with their heads until they’re drunk out of their minds, having sex, etc., and then they suddenly become confident porn stars. And there were only two scenes that were even humourous, with neither rising to funny.

The Bottom Line

More failed romance novel than RomCom
