Romance

Shallow

Title: Shallow

Author: swtlovekiss

Description: Elizabeth thought her and her boyfriend Brian were inseparable. He's a young, good looking, successful actor on a new TV series and Elizabeth has nothing but faith in their relationship. So what if television exposure could signal the beginning of the end for most couples. Elizabeth has faith, and that faith crumbles to pieces when Brian leaves her for another woman. She takes life into her own hands and gets caught up with a new beau, Ian Michaels who has a strong interest in her. Elizabeth is swept off her feet by a stranger, but Ian is more recognizable than she thinks. Turns out she has a thing for actors, and Ian is one on the run!

Why it's a good read: The first thing I must address about this story is her writing style. Everything flows together very nicely.

I have found few, if any grammar mistakes so that is a definite plus.

The events that take place are believable. The author doesn't go over the top and try to make it 'the perfect romance'. She realizes the reality of relationships. People misunderstand/misinterpret signs from others, get worked up over nothing, fall in love easily. The author displays these things beautifully.

Another good thing about the story is the pacing. She goes at just the right pace to really capture what's going on.

One thing I find is crucial to a good story is strong characters; do your characters have their own personalities? I love the characters in this. The author has such a wonderful array of characters, from jerk ex boyfriend to super-crazy best friend.

I generally don't like love stories ( unless there's fighting and monsters involved), but I really did enjoy this one. I would highly recommend it.
