Blind Faith by N.R. Walker
3.0
Wow. I have to say that this was probably my least favorite N.R. Walker read. Okay, Isaac and Carter could be cute enough, but there wasn't really anything that excited me in this book that much? Like at all?? It felt fairly rushed, because Isaac and Carter just kinda...became interested in each other after like a few meetings, and then hello, a few months later they love each other! But how did they get there??? A lOT of their relationship was skipped over. And although not as important, the sex? Lackluster. Fairly glossed over and had the feeling of "ugh, do i have to write a sex scene? Well, I guess, all right *huff*" which, even in the most glossed over N.R. sex scenes...they've never felt this glossed over, or rushed. Like, one minute they'd be kissing and the next Carter was already pushing inside Isaac??? And Isaac was a virgin in every sense, but when it came to penetration, he definitely was, and why did it gloss over the prep? Why did it jump around?
Also, Isaac could be extremely annoying. And what also was annoying? The repetition of Carter stating that Isaac was rude because it was a defense mechanism, or saying over and over how unaffectionate Isaac was with his dog, Brady. Also, Carter holding back on saying stuff to Isaac about Brady? annoyed me.
And Isaac lost a dog he was very close to and loved a lot, and so he takes out his pain on the next dog??? Like any dog - or animal - no matter what you feel, deserves that cold distance - not that people have to be affectionate with animals they don't know or like, but if it is YOUR pet and you do like them, but you're just holding back??? Not cool. Especially a guide dog. Like wtf?? The logic with Isaac's behavior with Brady left a lot to be desired.
I dunno. I enjoyed Isaac and Carter in their sweet moments, and I enjoyed a lot of the secondary characters too. But the rest?? Annoyed the crap out of me. I think Walker is capable of a lot better than this, especially in recent years. So maybe she was still working on getting better with her writing in 2013?? I dunno, maybe.
Just, the book was fine. But it was just that, fine. I liked it somewhat, and that's about it.
