Slammer by Tabatha VargoMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
Oh boy, what can I say about this book...
First off why two stars?
Because I loved the concept and the first 50% of it held so much promise. It started to go downhill for me at the point of the first sex scenes. It just felt completely out of place and not to mention ridiculous that they were going at it behind a curtain (loudly I might add) and no one heard them or interrupted... insert eye roll here!
What annoyed me though with this book was that for the past 10 years no one questioned the hero (Christopher Jacobs aka X) of the story innocence when there were obvious signs of it but the heroine (Lyla Evans) could figure it out less than five minutes after looking at his file. Then there was the supposed twist, it made no sense in terms of what was written before and also didn't mesh with why the warden and mafia reacted the way that they did (you'll understand what I mean when you read it).
Lastly the epilogue, oh Lordy the epilogue. I felt like I was reading the end of a Lifetime movie.
I get what the writer was trying to accomplish and I for one don't require a happy ending for a book to be good but I walked away from this one feeling apathetic about the entire thing.
