Title: Disappointing...
Review: The Seven-Year List left me wanting more -- and not in the good way. I thought the story of four high school friends who attend a seven-year high school reunion to see if they've reached their goals and sort out unfinished business would supply a story full of uninhibited passion. Instead, the plot is weak, the characters are one-dimensional and the sex scenes lack heat. The only part I found remotely sensual was the one in which Julia seduces a young musician during a photo shoot. I just couldn't get into this novel. To make matters worse, some of the scenes are degrading in ways that the author hadn't intended them to be. At least I don't think Ms. Zoe Le Verdier wanted her characters to come across as dumb, demeaning and superficial. This is the weakest Black Lace offering I've read thus far. Skip this book and read The Captivation by Natasha Rostova or Menage by Emma Holly instead.
