Separate Beds- Book Review

by LaVyrle Spencer

 

My first romantic novel, I would say not bad, but as per the reputation of LaVyrle Spencer as she is rated among the best romantic novelist I don,t think it was up to the standards. The book was about a girl Catherine(Cat) who on a blind date with Clay, rich handsome young man accidentally gets pregnant. Clay is in love with other girl and nor Cat wants to marry Clay. The story is all about how they come together, how circumstances make them come close to each other. When you read the book you will know what is going to happen because the plot is quite predictable. But still I am rating the book 2 star and that is only because of the way Spencer has put every emotions into the book. The book mainly revolve around Catherine, so most focus was on her emotion what she is feeling and what she is going through. In the first half though it feels quite boring as story moves slow and mostly are the feeling of Catherine is what is described. Second half is better with other characters are more involved and the chemistry between the couple is sober. The romantic scenes are described very soulfully.
All in all I can say women will mostly like this book and may not agree with my review because this book of their taste and yes Spencer knows women emotion better and she had portrait it excellently in the book. I just want to say is there should be some newness in the story.
