Very disappointing,
This review is from: Live Wire (Mass Market Paperback)
I really liked this series when I started reading it, loved the characters and the action. In contrast I found the characters in this book to be unrealistic, pubescent caricatures driven only by self-flagellation and an urge to get naked and sweaty.I still enjoy Ms. Leigh's other books and continue to buy her other series but I'll check the next installment in this series much more thoroughly before I decide to bring it home. Buy her other books but leave this one on the shelf.

Was expecting better....,
By P. Madan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Live Wire (Mass Market Paperback)
I truly was hoping for a better story. LL's standards keep dropping and I just feeling like shaking some sense into her. Like her previous novels, LL made bloopers. If you've read Enigma (the prologue to this book) you know what I'm talking about. One minute Tey is 28 and the next she's 30. One minute she met Jordan before killing her father, the next she met him when she was killing her father. And then there are the bloopers of Jordan's age, who his father is (kept calling his father Grandpop), how many brothers he has (1 not 2). The bloopers really ruined the book for me.I wanted to throw the book across the room many many many times because of LL's ineptitude. I know LL's a better writer than this and I wish she would show us that. Live Wire is more erotica than romance. Jordan and Tey keep having sex, which I get, but seriously, it's like they can't have one conversation without ripping their clothes off. And Jordan, I wish I could just smack LL for what she did to him. He's supposed to be this awesome commander, a real strategist, a man who would do anything for his team, an alpha male if you will. But all I saw was an idiot that called love an illusion because some girl played him when he was a teenager. I was like, really? Seriously? Some girl played him when he was 16 and he's still not over it. What an idiot. And explain to me why his mother dying and Caroline dying made him not believe in love. Heck, it should have had the opposite effect. When you see someone love so deeply and truly that not even their deaths make the love fade away... that's real love, not an illusion. Also, I didn't like the way Jordan treated Tey. He warned other men away from her and continued having sex with whoever he could get his hands on. I was like, really? He doesn't want her but the though of anyone else having her made him livid. Lastly, LL kept saying Irish eyes but Jordan and Tey don't seem to have the connection that Sabella and Noah did. In conclusion, this book could have been better. A WHOLE LOT better. I really do wish LL would get a better proofreader. Heck, maybe even contact Nalini Singh. You don't see bloopers in Singh's books and her books are much much more complicated than LL's. Borrow this book from the library, it's not worth spending money on. Not even a dollar. 41 of 46 people found the following review helpful

same old same old LL,

This review is from: Live Wire (Mass Market Paperback)
Okay so the hero, Jordan, is in love with the heroine(name is too stupid to type up)but he doesnt know it/doesnt want to admit it. sound familiar? (Renegade, Maverick). He thinks the heroine only thinks she loves him and he's been so burned in the past he cant love anymore. Yawn. But they find time to have sex, every two paragraphs. And what is up with the sex in Leighs books getting progressively more grosss than hot, it reads like a screenplay for a bad porno. I love hot erotic sex, when done right(Emma Hollly), it enhances the story and adds depth to the characters and their relationship. Because you want people who not only are great together but are also hot in bed. These two are nothing like that. Their dialogue is mind numbing. Seriously. He says a sentence,then she repeats it. Also, the word" quirked lips" is used ALOT. I like Lora Leigh. Ive read eighty percent of her novels so im fairly familiar with her writing style. the first elite ops book, Wildcard, was great. Nice story, with characters who had really deep chemistry, hot sex and seemed to have a real meaningful connection. Every books shes written after is all downhill. Her books these days seem to be recycled from past books, with names and places changed. Its been soo long since I read an original novel with original plot line from her. Forget about the thriller plotline, at least give the romance some depth and substance but even that is lacking. Its a shame since I really liked the character Jordan and I was looking forward to his story. Its a shame how utterly this author doesnt care anymore and just copies and pastes stuff she's already written for past novels and tries to resell them as brand new. 25 of 27 people found the following review helpful

Fantastic Dirty Harlequin Novel 2.5 Stars!,
By Jessie Potts "Book Taster" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Live Wire (Mass Market Paperback)
Ok sorry about the title, but I noticed that especially in the last book Lora Leigh seems to want to switch publishing companies. Instead of writing a romance where sex is used to enhance the plot or the characters feelings, I'm starting to feel like Leigh is using the plot as a filler for a sex sandwich and is using her books as a way of expressing some kinks she wants to try out. I mean the last book was bad enough with the breast milk during their scenes together, but now Jordan seems almost a caricature of himself as he `dominates' Tehya. I was actually rolling my eyes at the bedroom scenes, no blushing no embarrassment, just wishing I could thumb through them (which would have taken 10 pages a piece) until I got back to the main storyline.I was excited about Jordan's story; I mean he's been with us since the Navy Seals books. I was a little disappointed... no I was very disappointed, but not surprised. I was expecting this with the way the last couple/few books have been going. They really aren't even that good of erotica novels because her earlier Feline Breed series that was published was lot better and more well written. For those of you who are looking for a quick easy, no brainer, quasi hot read then I'm sure you'll enjoy this, especially if you're a diehard Leigh fan. For those of us who remember the early Breed and Navy Seal stories, then this is just not up to par. |
