Whispers at Midnight

Summary: Something is lacking here
Review: Whispers at Midnight probably had a chance to be a good story, but I tend to think the writing got in the way. I try to associate a certain writing style in work by new authors that I read. This is my first read for any of this author's work, and I'm still scratching my head trying to figure out what style of writing she holds. It seemed to me that Robards overused certain phrases to the point I was starting to get an attitude about Matt, such as he was a "no good rotten S-O-B". Robards drove that one way past home for me. I think maybe she overused the brand names of the bath soap too. Perhaps that turned me off a little. But what really took this book down in my eyes was the description of the bedroom scenes. I'm a romantic and I thoroughly enjoy a good lovemaking scene, but I like it done with style and a little class, both were lacking here. I think the story plot was fairly good and the characters were okay, but not real strong. And having over twenty novels already published would make one assume that Robards is probably a talented writer. But this novel didn't do anything for me. I think Robards fans might want to wait for the paperback on this one.
