ARC Review: Book Boyfriend by Dawn L. Chiletz
I’ve completely had it with men. I’m done.
And in case you were wondering, book boyfriends aren’t real. I should know because I write them.
My name is Greer Hanson. I think I’ve lost my mojo. After having my heart broken, I can’t seem to write about romance or love. When my best friend and publisher recommends an inspiration vacation, I decide to give it a whirl. What’s the worst that could happen?
Enter the perfect stranger. Patrick Fisher knocks me off my feet with his rugged good looks and charm. After one night with him, the words begin to flow. Since I know I’ll never see him again, I use him as my muse. But what do I do when my fantasy comes to life and that man steps right out of the pages of my book?
Book Boyfriends can’t be real. At least, that’s what I keep telling myself. Am I willing to risk having my heart broken all over again?
Maybe this time reality will be better than fiction.
Greer Hanson is a bestselling author on vacation to find her muse back after a nasty divorce left her a broken woman. On her last day there she meets Patrick Fisher who accidentally knocked her down while on a run. He wants to make up for it and keeps trying to get her to go out with him. Things happened and then she gives him her "number" and then she disappears. Forward a couple months and she wrote a book so great that her agent and best friend Luna knows they'll get a movie offer for it.
One of the main problems with this book for me was that it was told in first person POV and if you know me you know I am not a fan of it. So, since we are stuck on Greer's head you get the unabridged version of what is going on. Since she is an author she over thinks everything and over-describes everything else.
After she goes back to California everything gets a bit better in the descriptive nature of the story and we have more characters involved than just her (although it's still 1st person POV from her view). I liked where the story went after she finds Fisher again but again we are stuck in Greer's head so here comes the insecurities and the drama and the trust issues and all that.
I seriously got fed up with her so much but I needed to finish the book if for nothing else than to prove to myself it wasn't so bad. I admit I cried when she open that box but I think the book would have done better if we'd at least gotten another POV aside from hers (even if it was 1st person too).
