Review: The Objection by Winter Renshaw
SYNOPSIS:
The night before her million-dollar wedding to steel magnate Dorian Hawthorne III, Olivia Peretti meets a handsome stranger in her hotel bar who quells her cold feet and assures her all will be fine. And all is fine … until the following day—when that same stranger shows up at the ceremony with the sole intention of objecting. And his reason? It’s one that Olivia never could have anticipated.
REVIEW:
Gorgeous cover, unique concept, terrible execution. Winter Renshaw is another new to me author, thanks to the Read Me Romance podcast. I love the idea of a wedding being broken up due to cheating. It makes for the perfect amount of drama, especially when the bride-to-be is already plagued with uncertainty. But past the story line, I wasn’t a fan of this book or these characters.
Olivia was all too calm for the scenario, I wanted to see some emotion from her other than deflecting and redirecting to Gabriel. Gabriel felt like a very flat, one-dimensional character, he had no personality. Olivia and Gabriel together was simply a snooze fest. There was no undeniable chemistry and given the way that things played out I felt that the ending was extremely rushed. It was like, I bail on my wedding then jump into bed with the stranger, because that’s what they are.
There was no substantial relationship building and everything felt sloppy, especially the ending. I wish they would have gotten to know each other better. While Olivia did have a moment of anger towards Dorian, where is all the anger towards her piece of sh*t best friend who was sleeping with her fiance?! It was like everything got brushed aside because fate brought her Gabriel, sigh, hard pass on this book and author.
