Review: The Attraction Series by A. J. Walters

 Kumiko Lei     3 Stars, A Constant Attraction, A.J. Walters, An Acute Attraction, Review, The Attraction Series     No comments   



Ok, so this was different, in a good way.

First of all, here is a heroine that I can relate to in the present tense. I don't have to reach back 15 plus years in my memory to find some common ground. I really appreciated that.

I liked Isabel and Marc but I was expecting more out of Emelie. Don't know what I was expecting but, something with her just wasn't hitting right.

The story kept me interested but at some points I felt like something was missing. The major issue for me though, I think, was a language/dialect type issue. I had a hard time following some of the phrasing through most of the book. I guess it was more or less my unfamiliarity with it.

And then...

a sorta cliffhanger at the end.

Ah... yes. The continuation.

This was still hard for me to follow with the phrasing, but I marched on and am glad I did.

I will say that I was a little more into this when I realized the things that Emelie and her husband were up to.

And this one was from multiple points of view, so I got into the minds of other characters too.

This installment was more intense than the first and had more sexy times too. Isabel has made quite a change in a weeks time.

Don't get me wrong, because I do like Marc and Isabel, but being inside Emelie's head had its perks. Even though she has her issues I was kinda hoping for a little bit of sexy time for her too.

Honestly, as a whole, this series did keep my attention, but I was on the fence with it too.

I am glad I gave these a chance. And for a fairly new author they are not bad. I'm sure, with time her books will only get better and better and better. I have no doubt if I see her name again, I will be picking up her books.

About The Author:

A J Walters is a new contemorary romance author who has just made her first appearance on to the indie circuit. Having interests in history, romance and elements of erotica, she has brought all of these together in her debut publication; An Acute Attraction.

Wanting to break the trend of size 12 virgins in books, A J Walters has introduced a new real woman in Isabel Chambers. She’s a size 18-20, working single mother who now feels is it her time to start living her life again. At the ripe young age of 39, A J Walters also wanted to show that you can experience everything that a twenty-something would.

“I saw that a 39 year old isn’t quite at reitrement age for fun, sex and finding love again. There are so many women out there that can be represented in books as well as the slim, innocent and beautiful types. Don’t get me wrong I love reading books with them in, but there is so many of them around now I felt is was time for something different. I’d like to think I brought my sense of humour across in it as well. I am ditsy, I suffer from ‘foot in mouth’ syndrome, but I can also be serious and sentmental. From the feedback I’ve had, apparently it makes for a great writing voice.”

A J Walters currently live in Staffordshire, England with her two children.
