Hard Glamour and Broken Glamour Reviews

Review
Genre: NA,romance,review copy,family drama

After reading the first two books in the Glamour series I was looking forward to Sterling's story and discovering more about the son of Steve Legend.
The fact that Rhiannon and Sterling are childhood sweethearts, who are reunited after 7 years apart, makes the plot of Fast Glamour refreshing, but also introduces past secrets which could damage any future relationship the couple may have. Fast Glamour is a little like a mini film playing out before us, with its heightened drama and angst, its heroes/heroines and villains.
Sterling emerges as a determined individual who has his own insecurities and flaws, yet his love for Rhiannon is unfaltering, even after the time they have spent apart.
Rhiannon is an artist, home from Paris to care for her mother. She has not forgotten Sterling and the summer they fell in love when she was fifteen, but she allows her knowledge of past indiscretions by the Legend family to hold her back.
It is the couple's indecisiveness which brings them repeatedly to the same point, that stopped me from liking them more. Personally I also found the style Maggie Marr writes the sex scenes in more mechanical than emotional. In the absence of 'crude' language she repeatedly uses the same word which became tedious, although I am sure that there is a reason for this and means the book will appeal to a wider audience.
Fast Glamour is a slick contemporary romance with plenty to keep any reader entertained and perfect for fans of the previous Glamour books. I really liked the sensational ending which leads into Easy Glamour; Rhett is a tattooed rocker bad-boy whom I would love to see with Maeve!
