7/21/2016 1 Comment Review: Fever, Tonya Plank (m/f)
Fever by Tonya Plank
My rating: 1 of 5 stars I would not have thought it possible for a writer to take something as sensual, sexy, and romantic as ballroom dance and suck the lifeblood out of it. First, this is not book one in a series, it is part one of a serial novel, and a very long, very tedious, very repetitive beginning it is. I know dance lessons are tediously repetitive, but a novel should not be. It took me three tries to make it to the end, and by the time I got there, I didn't even care that it was THREE HUNDRED PAGES OF BEGINNING with no story resolution. I was just so damn glad it was finally over. Tedious. Repetitive. The most boring ballroom dance story I have EVER read. A "how-to" NOT write a dance story. Okay, originally two stars (because I slogged my way to the very end, hoping for some sort of payoff. But now on review. ONE. View all my reviews

"The most boring ballroom dance story I have ever read." I suppose I could say the same thing, were I ever to read a ballroom dance story. Then again, I could also say that it was "the most exciting ballroom dance story I have ever read," because, were I to read a ballroom dance story, it would be the first and only ballroom dance story I have ever read. Three-hundred pages of the first installment of a serialized novel about ballroom dancing? I didn't even know that was a genre! But cornering a niche market is the key to indie author success, so I've heard, so perhaps this will become the benchmark work of the genre.
