SOL by Leslie McAdam

 🌟 out of 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Synopsis:
The army taught me discipline. Order. Control.

None of that matters the day I walk into her classroom.

Or her bedroom.

What's more important than my grade?

Not failing her.

***Arc provided in exchange for an honest review*** 

I had a hard time connecting with the story because it was very character driven and I couldn't connect with them. I found that I didn't really care about the characters. I found Trent bland. There didn't seem to be anything about him that was special or unique. He just seemed like a another sweet, alpha soldier that wouldn't stop until he got his woman. Danika  was a whole other story. She was not bland at all and immediately gained my attention. It was too bad that she didn't gain my attention in a positive way. I try to be open-minded when it comes to other peoples beliefs and stances on issues which was not a quality that I found in the character of Danika. She seemed to be the type of person that attempted to force her beliefs onto others which were being a yogi, peace and love, fly by the seat of her pants type of woman. She was not dependable and seemed to be extremely selfish. I just didn't plain like her. It felt as if I wanted to slap her for the majority of the book and tell Trent to run away while he still could. 

I wasn't drawn into the story. Events happened so quickly in the beginning that I wasn't able to get a handle on who the characters were and how they interacted. I also wasn't able to quite grasp how they handled trials in order to establish depth on each of them. This also continued to happen throughout the book where characters would make decisions and then flip flop very quickly. I felt like I was getting whip lash. The story was predictable so I felt that I knew what was going to happen throughout the story and I turned out to be right. This made it hard to pay attention to the story because I was bored. It seemed as if the author was talking at me but not making me feel something.

AUTHOR BIO


Leslie McAdam is a California girl who loves romance, Little Dude, and well-defined abs. She lives in a drafty old farmhouse on a small orange tree farm in Southern California with her husband and two small children. Leslie always encourages her kids to be themselves – even if it means letting her daughter wear leopard print from head to toe. An avid reader from a young age, she will always trade watching TV for reading a book, unless it’s Top Gear. Or football. Leslie is employed by day but spends her nights writing about the men you fantasize about. She’s unapologetically sarcastic and notoriously terrible at comma placement (that’s what editors are for!). Always up for a laugh, Leslie tries to see humor in all things. When she’s not in the writing cave you’ll find her fangirling over Beck, camping with her family, or mixing up oil paints to depict her love of outdoors on canvas.
