At A Glance
Boring!
The Good
If you are into squeaky clean romances, Wanted by You might be for you. There are some very sweet parts and sweet characters.
The Bad
I stopped at 43%. I just couldn’t anymore. I was so bored, it was painful. Where the hell was the excitement, the passion, the drama? Maybe I didn’t wait long enough but 43% is far enough along for SOMETHING to happen. Here is what this book is about in a nutshell: Carter and Ellyson, college friends, reunite after years apart. They finally cave to their physical attraction and then they love each other. The end. *snore* I kept waiting for something worth reading to happen but it never did. If you can’t catch a reader’s attention by 10%, shame on you, if you can’t catch a reader’s attention by 43%, WTF?
The writing and dialogue were pretty corny as well. I found myself rolling my eyes quite a few times.
This book had no edge, that’s the best way I can put it.
The Snuggly
It was mediocre on hotness level. Nothing to write home about. (FYI: Never write home about your sex life, makes Thanksgiving awkward)
Final Thoughts
Except for being a little sweet, Wanted by You is not redeemable. And if it was, it should have been well before the 43% read mark. Not recommended.

Melissa (Books and Things)
Yea, you should have had some reason to continue it by that point. Sorry it didn’t work for you. Hope the next one rocks your socks! 😀

It’s just sucky.

Boring can be just as bad as having a strong reaction of not liking it.
Jennifer (Bad Bird Reads)
Boring is the worst!!!

A book should make you want to keep reading it before 43% mark. Hopefully your next book will be better.
Jennifer (Bad Bird Reads)
Thanks. Let’s hope.

I guess this is good for those who are looking for clean and safe romances. But probably not something for you as there needs to be something more exciting or passionate to keep you hooked! The cover doesn’t really match the content, right?
Jennifer (Bad Bird Reads)
I always need to be excited by a book.
