Katbrooks commented on minsuni's review of Done and Dusted (Rebel Blue Ranch, #1)
Well, this was disappointing. I already had low expectations so color me surprised when I started reading this and it turned out worse than I thought.
The story itself was ok, very basic and generic but I really donāt mind that. My problem is that everything happened so fast. They see each other again after a few years and as soon as Luke sees her, heās already thinking about her in his bed and in just a few days, heās already obssessed with her⦠be so for real. There was no chemistry between them, no tension, no yearning, no nothing and their feelings developed too fast.
The writing in this was awful. A lot of short sentences in a row, words repeated twice in the same sentence that definitely couldāve been replaced with a synonym, and so much telling instead of showing!! Thereās literally a part of the book where Emmy starts to learn to ride again, and instead of showing us what that process is like, she just says: āRiding lessons were going okā. How about you actually shows us how the lessons are going?? Also so many time skips in the same chapter, one second weāre in one place in the morning, and the next chapter is already at night in another place. Everything happened so fast with barely any development in each scene and it just felt rushed.
The main plot of the story besides the romance, aka Emmy going back to her home town because of her injury and her being afraid to ride again, was kinda forgotten and rushed and Iām still so confused. The riding lessons to get her back to trust being on a horse again didnāt even last that long, she got offered to participate in a competition out of nowhere and it didnāt take her long to accept even though she was, supposedly, still scared of riding, and then she tells almost no one about this injury, which I feel like itās a big deal and something she should have told her family. She lied to her family and never actually told them the real reason why she went back to them. Make it make sense.
