A-Z Challenge Review: Jude in Chains by KZ Snow

Actually, I'm not going to review this book at all for reasons I shall explain later.

I bought the book because I autobuy everything by KZ Snow. She's my go-to author (along with a couple of others) for intelligent, thoughtful and unusual character driven romances and so there wasn't ever a possibility that I wouldn't buy this book. Which I did on the day of release. Since then it has sat unread on my TBR pile for over a year because I was pretty sure that I would have issues with the book and that the theme would be something I would find difficult to read.

When I got to J in my A-Z Challenge, Jude in Chains was the only J book in my TBR pile and so I saw this as a sign to bite the bullet and read it. To see whether my apprehensions about the book were justified or whether, in the end, I was just being a wuss and it would turn out to be the best thing I've ever read.

All this waffling preamble is to show that before I even picked up the book I wasn't sure it was for me.

It wasn't.

And I fully admit that the reasons why I didn't really enjoy this book too much were wholly personal and had nothing at all to do with the strength of the writing, or the characters, or even the plot itself. In fact, like all KZ Snow books, this was intelligently written.

It just wasn't my thing and the book left me feeling vaguely sad and frustrated.

That doesn't mean I wouldn't recommend that you read it, because as I said, my reasons for not connecting with this book were all to do with me and nothing to do with objectivity. So do read it. See if you connect better with it than I did - and in fact a quick look at the Good Reads site shows that I am definitely in the minority here.

So there you go.  My not review of Jude in Chains.  Sorry about being vague but sometimes you read books that get you in all the wrong places and this was that book for me.
