Review: Tremor

Tremor by Tonya Plank
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Note: I received an ARC generously from Netgalley, the publisher, the author in exchange for an honest review.

Another Note: This is a series. This book can be read out of order/as a standalone, but there are mentions of previous characters. So it would be advised if you read this novel in order. This is 6th in the series.

AH, this literally killed me. And not in a good way.

I mean it had the recipe to be one of my favorite novels of 2020.

1. Dance -Ballroom, yesss, my jam.

2. A chance for two people to dance together - I tell you the chemistry lies closest in dance, no question.

3. A hot male ballroom/theatrical dancer -Fuck yes. My dream come true.

4. A broken showdance/ballroom female dancer -My heart sang at the summary.

Then why the fuck did it turn it out anything but perfect?

Well let me explain. Let me start by telling you the good things first.

1. The cover (I just exploded with mushiness..)

2. THe summary - "After losing her husband and dance partner to a motorcycle accident, ballroom showdance champion Arabelle has developed a hand tremor, making it impossible to perform the beautiful balletic feats she is known for. In her devastation, she’s lost her love of dance anyway. But when she meets Jett, a theatrical dancer specializing in daredevil aerial stunts, Arabelle feels a double tremor – one producing trepidation, the other pulsing excitement, as he evokes the bad boy ways of her husband that had so enthralled her but had also resulted in his tragedy. Can Jett help Arabelle overcome the pain of her loss, cure her trembling body, and reinvigorate her passion for dance and life? And can Arabelle tame Jett’s reckless ways before they result in his own misfortune?"

Isn't it bloody perfection? I think it was too.

3. Jett. Jett my baby. Sure he was cocky as hell, but he had also his sweetness and sensitive side, which made me love him even more.

These are the reasons why I gave it three stars.

The reasons why the rest of the stars are gone - The heroine is fucking annoying.

She's constantly treating poor Jett like shit (for no coherent reason, apart from the fact that he's cocky) (she barely knows him and assumes shit...). Like I get it, he doesn't seem all that gentlemanly and all from the outside, but you shouldn't judge someone on first impressions (that's what you do in highschool and in private...geez).

She pissed me off so much that I had to DNF this. Otherwise this novel had so much promise to be great.

So it's close to being mediocre at best.

Until the next read,

TMR
