Romantic Encounters

Rating:
Summary: Good writing + bad plot + tepid sex = disappointing book .
Review: There is no doubt that Ms. Welsh can write. Her characters are well drawn and likable and the plot (albeit a contrived one) is presented in a fairly realistic fashion. Too bad the sex scenes are so flat and lifeless. With a word like 'Romantic' in the title I was hoping for a little more emotional spark between the characters, but that proved not to be the case. The sex was a meaningless game to them. Still the end result did not turn me off enough to pass on anything else written by Welsh, I just hope to have better luck next time.
