One Weekend in Aspen by Jaime Clevenger

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


What to say about One Weekend in Aspen… Well, the first thing I’d say is stick to the ebook instead of the audio. I struggled to get into the story but couldn’t get past the voices the narrator chose. It was killing it for me. I finally decided to quit and nearly didn’t pick the ebook up but I’m glad I did.

I don’t think I’ve ever read a romance novel that involves a sex party before. I think Jaime Clevenger did a nice job of making that work. We got a nice assortment of secondary characters that really didn’t have any depth but that was fine. Katherine was a bit much and I don’t see why anyone would want to befriend her but, meh, okay.

The two protagonists were good together and had a lot of chemistry. Emily’s ex, Cass, was so incredibly over the top awful – and she got worse and worse as we went along – I found it impossible to believe and, between her and Katherine, liked the book less because of it.

But it wasn’t a bad read. Plenty of angst and hot sex. And I really liked Alex a lot. I felt for her and was happy that she found some happy.

Thanks to Bella and Netgalley for the ARC ebook!
