Negative Positive
Title: Barely raise your pulse rate
Review: Must agree with several comments here-- plot predictable, main characters flat and inconsistent, the menacing people are too easily stopped, the differences the two lovers have too easily glossed over. One woman's coming out jitters are smoothed out in 3 pages while the issues around an abusive ex seems to scarcely affect her emotionally at all... c'mon! The bird subplot was specious. No real use made of the setting-- New Orleans for heavens sake cries out to be more of a focus for an erotic novel if any place does! I envision seductionas with baguettes and gumbo. You know it's not that engrossing when you wonder more about how two cameo characters from a bar got together than whether the two main characters will be able to live "happily ever after".
