....And Then The Fandoms Came

Okay, so, I had a few problems with this but other than that. I did kind of like it. It was short, a little over 150 pages. So, yeah. That's a pretty good length for me honestly.

So, on to the problems and all of that.

• This one probably seems a little nitpicky, but it's called "The Masseuse" and one of the main characters is South Korean. It just felt a little..."yeah no", for me. If that makes sense. While I understand that the title relates to the book or rather the character, who owns a chain of spas. I still feel a better title could have been selected. 'Cause that just feels kind of....bad. What especially adds to it is the fact that some of the characters have dragon tattoos, and I, again understand that this relates to the story, but it still feels a stereotypical. 
• My other problem is the jealousy the hero and heroine have. A good portion of the time, especially for the hero, it wasn't light jealousy, if that makes sense. There was one incident that a neighbor calls the main heroine by her nickname, and the hero corrects him and there's a lot talk (in his head) of how he doesn't like her close with other men or something like that. And back to that incident, the hero hated the guy because he said he hated how attractive he was, and how he had a "I-get-what-I-want-attitude" (i.e., typical "Alpha hero" behavior), which I thought was ironic because the hero himself is an Alpha hero. As far as the heroine goes, she wasn't as bad, but around the same scene, there again was a lot of "in-head" talk about how she was watching the neighborhood wives ogle and stare at her boyfriend(the hero). Which was a little "meh" but it didn't get bad until she said one of the wives wasn't really beautiful because (if I remember right) she didn't wear make up and liked to garden. Also, in kind of hindsight, I thought it was kind of bad that she dismissed talking to them because she felt they'd have nothing to talk about because the wives were married and had families while the heroine didn't have those things.

Other than that, it wasn't really that bad. It wasn't my all time favorite book by this author but I do still like her work. The writing was pretty good, and it was interesting at least. So, there is that.
