My Review - Here With Me - by Alla Kar


Here With Me by Alla Kar releases soon, October 28th to be exact. I got myself an advanced copy and I am excited to share my review with all of you before it goes LIVE. I looked over the synopsis before reading, and I figured I knew what to expect. I was a bit off in my predictions on the levels of sexual intensity and I got more than I expected in such a wonderful way. I got a leading female I wanted to route for, a villain I wanted to scream at and punch in the face, and a dirty-mouthed sexy leading man. Here With Me did not disappoint and I recommend you give it a read.

I do have one complaint. I will get it out of the way quick and move on because there are so many better things to gush about. My one beef is that Cade calls Jaden, “Princess”. I’m sorry, but this is generic and so overused. I read a lot of books and in every third YA/contemporary romance novel the guy calls the girl Princess. I think it mostly bothers me because since it is used so often it reminds me of those douchy guys who just call every girl by the same pet name, as to never mistakenly call her by the wrong name. I am not a huge fan of terms-of endearment in general, most of the generic ones I find cheesy. Authors, I say you let “Princess” R.I.P. forever.

All right, now that that’s out of the way, lets get to the good stuff!
