“BAD PENNY had all the makings of a great romance but I think it fell short in the execution.”
~ Under the Covers
I’ve been wanting to read this author for a long time and I had picked up this book on Kindle Unlimited also a while back after seeing it on Booktube. The thing about impulse buys is that maybe you’re not starting with the authors’ best and I feel like that’s what’s happened to me here. I probably should’ve done a little better research and read reviews or recommendations instead of jumping into one that sounded like the premise of something I would enjoy.
Overall, BAD PENNY had all the makings of a great romance but I think it fell short in the execution. A lot of what kept me distracted was the writing/editing. Maybe I’m a little pickier than most? There’s also the characters as individuals and what keeps them apart as a long term couple. I wasn’t sold on that either. There were times when I felt like the hero would be better off with a different heroine. In the end, I did like them together and I thought it was an okay book to read quick on a weekend afternoon. It certainly isn’t too memorable and hasn’t left me itching to read everything this author has written. I’ll definitely pick up a recommendation next time!

I get easily distracted by pictures of sexy guys and have tons of book boyfriends.I keep all my alpha males chained to my basement and guard them fiercely.*Back off bitches*I like to see Jason Momoa as a lot of those boyfriends, because ….. mmmmmmm JASON.MOMOA!
I’m a part time graphic designer (yes, everything you see on UTC has been done by me), run my husband's business from home and on a good day I’m a self appointed superwoman (she who can do it all).I love blogging with my girls and I couldn’t do it any other way!My first love is everything paranormal, but in the past few years I’ve re-learned to love contemporary romance.Every once in a while I like to mix things up with a historical romance, a steampunk or an LGBT book.Because I need variety to avoid book slumps.I don’t always need an HEA although I prefer one, and I love authors that can rip my heart out and make me ugly cry.
