Chantal Fernando has been my staple source when it comes to MC Romance and so when I saw that she was writing a different romance genre, I was eager to get my hands on this book. How could I not when she held my attention with this line:
I have a list.It’s a list of things I want to experience in my life, a sexual list. Having a one night stand is on there.”I adore Chantal Fernando but I gotta say The List is one of those reads that I have mixed feelings about. I like the premise of the story that is loosely based in truth and fiction of a one night stand that didn’t end that night but became a string of complicated and unwarranted angst. While I should be intrigued with the storyline, I wasn’t since I could not relate to the heroine and hero at all. They just couldn’t pull me in as a reader.
Taya is one of those female leads who wears her heart on her sleeves. There are times you will like her and then there are those moments that you want to shake some sense into her. I understand that she is deeply attracted to Eli but when a man distances himself and you know that he is sleeping with other women, wouldn’t you think Taya would wake up and see the light at the end of tunnel. Well unfortunately she was blinded by her lust and infatuation with Eli.
This kiss is not a mistake. No, it’s everything a kiss should be.”Eli is one of those most closed off hero. It’s not the mysterious vibe where you think is sexy but one of those heroes that you just couldn’t relate at all. I wanted to like him but just couldn’t. For goodness sake, you don’t even know his last name.
This book is not bad but oh my god, it is one of those reads that went back and forth too long. Taya was on this journey of self-discovery but she couldn’t see right away how Eli should have been just a one night stand only. While this may not be my favorite Chantal book, I think there are some readers who might enjoy this crazy connection of Taya and Eli.
