Shiver by CM Foss Review

4.5 Smooches!

Synopsis

This is a love story.

This is a romantic story.

Except bananas. Bananas are never romantic.

Lissa was a twenty-year-old girl trying to make it in the equestrian world. She was sassy and smart, strong and a little weird. And she had no idea what she was doing.

Ethan was twenty-seven, tattooed, tall, dark, and hot. And lugging some baggage. He’d already made it in the business and brought Lissa on to help get her on her feet. And it turned out, he liked a little weird.

Ethan made it clear that he wasn’t in the market for a relationship. Lissa was happy to learn the ropes and push her attraction aside.

But how do you draw the line when every touch makes you…shiver? 

Review

“Shiver” is C.M. Foss’s debut and she is off to a great start! I really enjoyed reading this story and I think my favorite part was the heroine Lissa. This girl is awesome! She is confidant, smart and incredibly witty. Lissa is not the type of girl to cry and whine over a guy, she just picks herself up and gets on with life. This was super refreshing after reading so many stories about girls that are just crushed by men and follow them around like little puppy dogs waiting for any scrap left behind. If you don’t have time for Lissa, Lissa doesn’t have time for you! The hero, Ethan, was really great also and these two together was perfect. The banter and chemistry between these characters was super entertaining.

My only issue with this book was that it felt a little disjointed. The first 70-75% of the book was a fun and steamy love story and then for the last 25-30% of the book we fast forward 2 years and it feels like a completely different story. Don’t get me wrong though, I really enjoyed both parts, there was just a distinct difference that kind of threw me off at first.

Overall this was a great read with awesome characters, steamy sex, sweet romance, and funny banter. I definitely recommend it and look forward to more from C.M. Foss!
