Brief exposition—the most disgusting, stupid, perverted hillbillies ever kidnap Sara Loomis while she travels cross country to a new job. She kinda escapes and winds up with Bo, a huge, silent, mountain man. Bo does not return her to civilization and she spends 12 days with him, adapting to his primitive lifestyle and searching for a way to get home. Of course they fall in love.

Despite a supremely too stupid to live moment on the part of the heroine, I was willing to enjoy this story because of the interesting mountain man premise. The author is a decent writer and the editing is pretty good. Moreover, it was intriguing and refreshing to watch Sara fall in love with a man who didn’t speak, in a cabin without running water, modern plumbing, or electricity. I was fascinated—why can’t Bo speak? Why is strong, intelligent Bo, who used to be in the army, living alone in the Ozark wilderness? Will Sara choose to stay with him and share his simple, contemplative life, which she finds difficult and yet oddly appealing? Will Sara leave Bo, and if so, will she return? I could not wait to find out. Soooo much promise here…..

AND THEN….it all fell apart. Given Sara’s circumstances—kidnap victim who survives multiple disturbing rape attempts by a hillbilly serial-rapist/murderer—Bo’s reasons for keeping her and keeping quiet are RIDICULOUS!!!

Want to know why he can’t talk and doesn’t return Sara to civilization? Read on. ********SPOILER***********

The Big Secret is……Bo’s working on a PhD dissertation examining “the effects of deprivation on a former soldier”—i.e., himself. He made a 6 mo. vow of silence which he continues to observe even when the injured, frightened victim of a serious crime shows up tied to his house. Whaaaat????
So much is wrong with this situation. What kind of person doesn’t immediately get help for the victim and take action to contain the repeat criminals? Dude, a serious CRIME has been committed. Forget your dissertation and take care of SARA! Make sure the psycho hillbillies are in jail!!!!
But maybe we should try to give Bo the benefit of the doubt and respect his commitment to his academic career. Well, in that case, his supposed dissertation is ridiculous—how can he objectively study and comment on himself??? No one in academia does a case study on him or herself. Puhleeeze.
So Bo’s not a wounded soul bravely turning his back on the comforts of modernity. He’s an articulate, rich, gorgeous professor who was too selfish to quit his flawed pseudo-academic experiment for the sake of a kidnapped almost rape victim.
I’m seriously disappointed. Save your ducats, people.

Bodacious Sharon Ervin 9781588514943 Books Reviews

Bodacious by Sharon Ervin is a title that I come across a lot during my various book trolling sessions on romance discussion forum. All reviewers have commented upon the fact that this story is unlike most romances and has the ability to draw the reader in from the first page itself. And I do have to agree with other reviewers on these aspects, yes, the story has a unique way about it and it does draw the reader in from the first chapter itself.

31 year old Alex Bo Cadence or Bo as he is known through most of the story is a man who suddenly one day turned up in a remote mountainous area and made a home for himself preferring to live in the most primitive fashion possible by foregoing all luxuries of the modern world. 3 years on, Bo doesn't speak to anyone except for communication via grunts and his disreputable looks as in the huge beard that covers his whole face and his long and messy hair keeps others at bay and some even label Bo to be part human and part something else. Bo's character remains a mystery throughout the story until towards the very end which makes this story a unique one based on that fact alone.

26 year old Sara Loomis, an only child is a successful news reporter who has resigned herself to being one of those women who are not at all successful in having an enjoyable sex life. Labeled as a frigid, Sara doesn't even want any man to notice her since the only two sexual relationships that she had been involved in had turned into unmitigated disasters in the end.

On her way to a new job and a new life, Sara is kidnapped when she is stumbles into a convenience store robbery by a group of half-wit hillbillies from the surrounding mountainous area. Sara barely manages to escape the clutches of the lecherous man who kidnaps her only to be left with a man who her captors fear more than anything else in the forest. But as she gets to know the silent man with whom she shares 12 days of her life amidst her attempts to escape her growing feelings towards Bo which almost always ends her up in trouble, Sara finds herself inexplicably drawn to Bo as a slow awakening of her dormant senses begin with gusto.

And when life as she knows it comes calling, Sara is torn between choosing life with all the luxuries she has been accustomed to and choosing to live with the love of her life as a recluse for the rest of her life. However Bo doesn't give her any chance to make a decision as he is the one to leave her behind only to turn up again to claim the woman he loves more than life itself.

I liked

1- As I said during the start of this review, this certainly has been a unique romance such that there are no verbal interactions between the hero and heroine until the very end of the story. But rather it is Sara who babbles along, talking a mile a minute while a silent Bo grunts every now and then in response to her conversations. It is through other means; facial expressions and body language that these two really talk, taking the reader on a journey of discovery along with them which is one of the best parts of the book.

2- Sara Loomis. She is a heroine who knows what she wants and sticks with obtaining what it is she wants regardless of the obstacles standing in front of her. Though she makes one stupid decision after the other in her attempts to flee Bo and his brand of magic which works like a charm on her, Sara is a plucky heroine who I loved from the beginning.

3- Bo. It is his gentle and giving nature that made him so very appealing. And of course his so very appealing hot bod coupled with his dark gaze is enough to make any red-blooded woman swoon. I loved me some Bo so very much and wouldn't mind a mountain man of my own to take home. ^_^

4- The dough kneading scene. Oh my! *fans self*

5- I liked how the author brought about the subtle changes in Sara and the journey of sensual awakening that takes place which doesn't suddenly come up and punch the reader in the face; but rather based on her past experiences and her aversion to having any sort of relationship with a man the road she takes is a subtle but nevertheless an enjoyable one for the reader.

I disliked

I loved 3/4 of this story so very much. But suddenly from the moment that Bo leaves Sara to let her head back to life as she knows it, the story suddenly took a turn which I couldn't seem to like much. Yes, there is a happily ever after for the two but I didn't feel that there was much need for the endless retelling of what took place between Bo and Sara on the mountains, nor the need for what took place during the time they spent apart. Though that wouldn't put me off from reading any other book by Ms. Ervin, I just felt that a lot of unnecessary scenes which never really contributed towards making the story were included towards the ending which plummeted my levels of enjoyment with the whole book.

Recommended for

1- Those who are tired of reading the same old story over and over again. This one's certainly different.
2- Contemporary romance lovers.

Didn't know whether to give this a 3 or 4. Bumped it up because it kept my interest. I loved Bo but never really like Sara much. She thinks she is way smarter than she is and keeps on proving it. It is not the smartness that bothered me but the way she proved it by action and thoughts. Her stupid actions, I just had to get over to enjoy the book, but her thoughts... they show her misjudgement loud and clear. Bo is obviously highly intelligent, his books alone should have hit her in the head with that knowledge and the way he used it. Yet... she still thinks of him as just above the intelligence of the other hillbillies. This is shown in statements she makes throughout even to the end of her captivity. So once I just decided to judge her as judgmental, especially of intelligence, I gave her the benefit of the doubt and she grew on me but never as an incredible person, at least not one I would be dying to know. Bo on the other had, the before picture, was pretty damn interesting. Even in the end he was someone you would want to talk to. I never understood him connecting with Sara on this level. Maybe it was deprivation, but would he wake up? Still overall a pretty good story that does keep your interest and make you want to know, 'what is going to happen?'. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder and Bo was mesmerized by Sara's.
