Seizing It

review 1: I am sorry. I REALLY am. I wanted to like this. I mean, it's a disability book and I jump on those and love them to itty bitty pieces. Yeah, but apparently not when the MC acts like a spoiled rotten brat.Kit is a 28 year old epileptic. He HATES it. He hates being an epileptic and basically doesn't think this should be happening to him. Sorry, Kit, but you have it, get over it. Deal with it. It's not the end of the world. So, he takes it out on everyone :( However, his family is so overbearing I probably would have moved countries just to get away from them. He has epilepsy, he's not an invalid. He can function just fine. Leave him be. Let him act like a 28 year old. If his family was so worried about him, why didn't they get him an alert dog or something? ... moreInstead he has a protection dog. That won't do him good if he has a seizure in the backyard or in his sleep. Now let's talk about Dale. I wanted to smack him and his possessive ways. Holy hell. If I were Kit I would have run far far away from him. Yeah, I think he meant well, but he went about it the wrong way. Played the "I'm your boss" card and it was creepy. UGH.Did I think Kit deserved Dale? No. I can not tell you how much I really do not like Kit.
review 2: I read this ebook after having it for a while. While I really enjoyed this, giving it a solid 3.5, I did have a few things that distracted me during the story. I felt that Kit's personality quirks were to be expected-based on his coddling from his family. The constant bouncing from horny/shy to snarky pissed off could have tapered off a bit more during the story sooner than it did. My favorite scene in the book, oddly enough, was the lunch with his existing boss and his wife; it felt the most 'real'. Overall, the plot was good. It can be hard to create a modern romance novella and not have it be insta-love, unless you give the characters an existing relationship before the readers meet them. That would have helped with the abrupt connection between Kit and Dale, and to extend the plotline. However, I felt that the amount of events, in the week or so shown in the story, was paced well once I put the insta-love aside. The drama was dramatic, without being unrealistic. (Not sharing more, no spoilers!)The best part of this story was Chris' writing skills. I was never distracted by the writing from the story, and while I might have ached to slap both Kit and Dale at times, if they weren't vivid characters I would never have felt that strongly about them. Overall, a quick and fun read, with some funny sniping and a heated romance. less
