Raining Down Rules

       Overall Rating: ★★★★

Plot: ★★★.5

Writing：★★★

       I received a free electronic copy to make an honest review.

Jemma lives a life that is bounded by a set of rules. When she comes back to her childhood hometown, she is torn between Jordan, a dangerous rock star, and Vic, a charming and attractive firefighter. She is forced to make a decision that will hopefully lead her to the true love.

    As for the overall rating, I gave this book four stars. From my perspective, I highly enjoy reading this book, and I think it is a fast and interesting read. However, I still have some problems with this book which I will be discussing in the following passage.

    Normally in books that have a love triangle, I prone to choose a side among the two rivals. In this book, I choose to be in the team Vic. I understand that Jordan, a dangerous, famous, and sexy rock star, can be the crush of many young girls. However, I didn’t have a strong connection with him ever since the beginning. Maybe my opinions are a little personal, but I don’t think that I am going to fall in love with someone who is addicted, bad tempered, and inclined to impose physical violence on others. However, I admit that he is a character with depth. He definitely goes through myriad struggles and transformations in the book, which is great. When it comes to Vic, he is hands down my absolutely FAVORITE character in this book. I find him to be very likeable and attractive. He is that kind of guy who I can feel comfortable being together because of his dependability and care. In general, I find all the characters to be interesting. I don’t dislike anyone of them including Jordan. Therefore, I give the characters part four stars. I love Vic so FREAKING much!

The writing part is the one that I have the most trouble with. It doesn’t mean that I don’t enjoy reading it or even dislike it. It is just that sometimes I figure the writing is somewhat a little confusing. There are several short sections that are a little repetitive. Some of the sentences are not well written in the fact that the commas are not utilized well, and I got a little confusing while reading those sentences. Besides those minute writing problems, I really enjoy the other parts such as the intense tension between characters and the portrait of the characters’ emotions. But I still firmly believe that if there had been fewer mistakes, I would have enjoyed this book much more.

    Finally, I want to briefly talk about my thoughts on the plot. This is a typical love triangle story that is filled with struggles and torments. I don’t find the plot to be able to blow me away. Also, I am not satisfied with some parts of the ending. I am not going to explain explicitly which part I dislike, but I am not happy with the thing that happens at the end. That’s probably why I give the plot 3.5 stars.

    Overall, I still have great fun reading this book. Finding some flaws in terms of writings and characters, I still highly recommend this book to people who just want to read a fun and easy-to-read romance with a love triangle. By the way, I have to admit that the cover, to be honest, is quite cheesy. However, I am looking forward to seeing other books by B.K. Rivers, who I think definitely has the potential to write more intriguing books.
