I'm a fan of Mary Calmes. There's a part of me that likes knowing what I'm about read even before I read it. It's comforting.
A world filled with friends meeting for drinks and laughs.
The men are beautiful and the women gorgeous no matter their size/age.
One character wants to be submissive and the other dominant.
There's lots of kissing, knuckles caressing necks, and feeding eat other.
They want to settle down, have a life together, and possibly have kids in the future.
Of course, life is filled with accidents, kidnappings, bullet wounds, and old boyfriends.
Floodgates is a classic Mary Calmes tale. It has all of the above.
Now is it her best...No, it's not.
Why?
There was no mystery. Once the character was presented I knew he was the killer. And it was obvious why.
I didn't understand many of the actions of the cops. ( Didn't make sense.) The characters were put more in harms way then kept safe.
The cheating boyfriend was unsympathetic.
Now at times I was having major flashbacks to "A Matter of Time" series. These characters were practically interchangeable, and it made me a little ( maybe more than a little) disappointed.
So here's my opinion. It's not her best work. It's to predictable. The storyline is unoriginal. She's wrote something far to similar with better results. So unless you're a huge fan I would pass.
