The Fine Print

 4/24/24

I had a little break after the reading challenge that I didn't complete. I was seven books off of the full twenty-four. I was close but with my lifestyle, it was hard. I'm happy with what I got done though. The last book I put into the challenge was The Fine Print. Only because I started reading it, but I didn't finish it. I'm slowly working on it. But I do have a small complaint about the trope that these romance novels fall into. The trope where you have the rich millionaire who trusts no one and is very cold that meets a woman who is naive and too good to be true. They have this whole round about of being attracted to each other but they don't give in to those feelings because they are complete opposites. The same old same old. Anyways, I don't have much to say about the book so far. I'm almost halfway and I pretty much summed it up with my complaint of the trope. I can probably think how this book is going to end because this is just a overdone trope. I'm to the point that people really need to mix up the rich man and struggling woman trope. I need something different.

I'm not quite healed yet, but I had a two days of an hour drive to a conference. So I took advantage of the opportunity. Nothing much really happens in the book other then the typical romance stuff. The two main characters try to be casual, but fall in love with each other. Even though they don't want to admit it. Then the guy gets scared and breaks it off with the girl with harsh words. The only thing I appreciate is that even though he said the right words, the girl didn't jump right back into his arms right away. She made him work for it. But eventually they get back together and get married. Then live a happily ever after. The typical romance trope. Again, I really wish I would find a book that would really mix it up a bit instead of following the usual storyline. It is getting really old. And, since this book follows every romance book I've read, it get two stars. I'm not saying that it isn't good, I'm just bored with how romance books follow the same formula.
