Desperate Measures by Katee Robert (Review By Sara D’Onofrio)

Rating: 4.0/5

This one feels hard for me to review. There were a lot of things that I enjoyed, but also things that literally drove me insane. I liked how strong the female main character was, and how determined she was to live a different life than the one that was forced upon her. I thought the intimate scenes were described in perfect detail and allowed you to really dive into the scene. I loved hearing two points of view because in storylines like this one, it is so beneficial to hear what is really happening in the minds of the other main character. However, when things are not realistic for me, it pulls me out of the story so quickly that I feel like I lose my connection. She was a virgin, and yes she flirted and read romance books, but all of a sudden she’s literally a pro and having threesomes and this perfect sexy minx. To me, I think it would have been more believable if it would have been geared more towards him going slower and “teaching” her, I would have stayed in the story more. It was described over and over how much he cared for her, but basically her first time was forced and based strictly off of desire. I still liked it, and I do feel like this is more personal preference and not something all readers feel!
