Good Bones by Aurora Rey

joanna1905's review

2.0

Perhaps somewhat ironically, this story did have good bones. The premise was solid and I'm SUCH a sucker for the soft butch handywoman love interest but that just didn't have enough pull to win me over with this one. The chemistry was decent and the sex scenes were good but it just felt way too long, like it took ages for anything to happen and then more happened in the last 20% then the rest of the book. The story was also somewhat predictable with the way the older and younger woman plotline was handled. By no means a bad read but just didn't quite do it for me.

Thank you to Netgally and Bold Strokes Books, Inc for an e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

I really wanted to like this, but I just don't think it worked for me. First of all, the blurb doesn't mention that this an age gap romance and normally I wouldn't mind that, but the book leaned too much into it and made it all about that, to the point where Kathleen was uncomfortable. It definitely didn't work for this. Also, Kathleen is supposed to be older but came off super immature. I think the pace of the book was off as well, and I didn't feel the connection between the characters that I would have liked. I think the story does have good bones, but it just missed the mark. 

Thank you to NetGalley, Aurora Rey, and Bold Strokes Books for the eARC of this book.

I wish I'd known this was age gap before going into it. I don't mind age gap when it's a background thing, but their age difference was brought up over and over.
