Dark, for sure & a giggle or two
WOW!!! C.M. Raven hit this one out of the park for me. The blurb describes it as entry-level dark romance… I’d add with a nice side of snarky. Mia’s internal dialogue is over the top entertaining frequently and just as down trodden in others. But, I was belly laughing more than once at her insights in both respects. She definitely didn’t haven the preconceived personality I gave her after reading the book description (which was a great twist for me for sure). Victoria was great fun too. In honesty I found this book amazingly engaging, intense, kinky, sexually charged and wishing it would not end. It is extremely different from Her Greed which was amazing two. They brought forth C.M. Raven’s talent for writing in such varied ways. I am not used to authors in this genre with such versatile perspectives and writing styles. That being said, I read Her Pride twice before writing this review as I was confused as an American reader a few times. The second time I read acknowledging the authors origin. The cadence and speaking style is more in line with foreign speakers….this insight added even deeper enjoyment to my experience the second reading. Also as a reader location of the story is important. This is an incredible read no matter how you perceive it. I am excited to read more by this author… definitely a fan. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
