“I... can't remember the last time I read a Mills & Boon. Have I ever? I'm sure I would've ventured to try once upon a time but who knows what I read. You know me though, can't let a challenge passed... so I read. This was, as expected though, a very easy read.
For the mystery part, in comparison to the mystery/crime novels I love to read, it is very mild. The crime itself & consequence are awful but what I meant was that there was no graphic description of crime scene so no gore or any painful sexual offences etc. The protagonist, Grace Miller, is a journalist and came to the area to recuperate from appendectomy but she came after incidents so her investigation is some time after. And while she got into some scrapes of her own, again it was comparatively mild than what's out there in fiction.
For the romance part, it was so very very mild. It's even more tame than the YA novels that I love to read. There was no 'feels' or 'sparks' as such so no sexual tension just an unusual feel of attraction between the characters. There were kissing but oh so very unassuming. These two probably loved kissing each other but you know, we weren't told of any frisson or whatever it is they're feeling when they're kissing each other. We're just told they kissed.
Plain Jeopardy really was a breeze to read. There's nothing to shock the system. The mystery was rather well done and the pairing of characters also somewhat sweet. It was just that easy to read but nothing to write home about. I realise that I'm probably being generous with my star rating but it fits (JUST) within my comfort level.”
