Review - Falling For Forever by Charles Raines

Falling For Forever by Charles Raines

Compelling, captivating, evocative and very enjoyable

This completes my reviews of the Charles Raines's stories currently available - I bought my copy from Amazon.co.uk

In my system, stars represent the grading of my overall enjoyment of the story; which is based on, characters, plot, heat level, errors & omissions, technique, readability, and the 'x' factor. My reviews are honest and unsolicited. I do not charge for reviews. The review is my own opinion and is not endorsed by The Carter Seagrove Project LLC.
Having read the other three stories by Charles Raines, I had high hopes of this story - and of course I wasn't disappointed (except that there isn't anything else to read now!!) The fact that I have read all of Charles's stories is probably the most telling comment I can make - it's rare for me to engage to that extent across an author's output.

As expected, the plot is laced with just enough intrigue, always posing the question and keeping you guessing without being distracting. Just like the other stories written by Charles Raines which are set in Marseille, this one uses the city to great effect - the sounds, flavours, colours, danger and romance provide a perfect backdrop. I really enjoy Charles's story-telling, it has a timeless quality; plot and characters have depth and you can't help but to engage, in fact, you feel that you have to 'own' the story.

Why not five stars?

Good question. The intrigue unwinds - highly imaginative ending - but a little rushed for me. That's the only thing I can say to its detriment.

Compelling, captivating, evocative and very enjoyable. Not a quick read nor should you rush it - savour it like I did.
