Riding the Storm - Westmorelands 5 - Brenda Jackson (in Mr. November by Lori Foster)
Rating 2.5 / 5,0
Head 8/10
Genre - Contemporary
Note: this review applies ONLY to the Brenda Jackson story in this book. It does NOT apply to the Lori Foster story, which I have reviewed separately here.
This story might have been an enjoyable read, but the writing was very weak. The author's writing is choppy and immature. Her sentence structure is awkward and poorly constructed. I was constantly pulled out of the story by the poor writing. My eye muscles are sore from rolling them!
A young woman has had a crush on a man 6 years her senior since she was 16. She was off limits due to her age and the fact that her father was the man's boss. Now her father is dead, she's 26 and they meet, by chance, while out of town. They end up having a torrid affair that they both agree will end when they return home. Except he finds he wants more.
The woman was a virgin, largely because of her crush on him. But she's decided there is no Mr. Right for her and she's going to get pregnant through a sperm bank. The man is a player so she doesn't see him as potential husband material.
Aside from the poor quality of writing, I found the intimate scenes were overdone as well. Both the H and the h had constant multiple O's every time they were together. Please! Spare me! The "twist" at the end was so predictable it was laughable. Not reading anything else from this author.

She ends up pregnant, even though they used condoms every time, because his multiple O's were just too much for the condom. Gag! Eye roll!!
