Review: Sixty Five Hours

Sixty Five Hours by N.R. Walker
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Started out promising, the single POV from Lucas Hensley, advertising guru extraordinaire, was good in that we had just as much of an idea as to why his co-worker and son of Lucas's boss, Cameron Fletcher, didn't like him.
However once the two characters were dropped into their forced proximity plot you got a pretty good idea just what it was about Lucas that Cameron didn't like. Thus, most of the tension dissipated. The story is sweet, all the character are quite likable and there are enough sexytimes for even the most ravenous of readers.
The last 30% of the book is essentially just a sweet epilogue. I kept waiting for a 'but wait!' or 'oh no!' moment, but none came which I found slightly irritating. The other thing that bugged the hell out of me was how their big advertising campaign was for a company that dealt with condoms, sex toys, etc. and they even used the safe-sex angle in their advertising pitch, yet safe sex practices during the character's oral adventures were completely ignored. At no point did the character exchange the basic 'hey, I'm clean are you?' talk, which, ok, yes fantasy romance book don't want to lose the sexytimes momentum, but the discussion of safe-sex practices and the importance of them was a plot point in the advertising plot.

The book was a nice, light, amusing read, just a bit too long and with a few points that really threw me out of it.
