Shelle Perry's Reviews > Trapped in Love

Trapped in love is the next book in the MacGregor Brothers Brewing Company series. While it is a sexy, steamy, and sometimes sweet romance with all the feels in all the right places, once again I am left feeling that the strength of Danica Flynn’s writing isn’t the romance but rather the character development as the story progresses. In the beginning, neither MC is worth writing home about.

Felix is overwhelmed by his circumstances and just a bit myopic. He has strong feelings for Gemma, but his obligation to his younger sister leaves him feeling as if he should push Gemma away so he doesn’t hurt her when his sister invariably will have to come first. Having taken on the responsibility at such a young age, he hasn’t yet realized that as an adult, he can love them both.

Gemma is flighty and dramatic and a bit of a bitch. She is afraid to go after what she wants because of her insecurities, which are many. She pushes back against the people who care for her out of the need to face the world on her terms at any cost. Felix presses ALL of her buttons in just the right ways, triggering both sides of the intense feelings coin, leading often as not to stupid sex or all out war.

A well-meaning manipulation sends both of them on the same mountain cabin vacation and the inevitable happens (because sexy steamy romance story). While the sex is great, the things they learn about each other and themselves are what make the book worth reading. This is the coming together of two dynamic creatives who complement each other well... if and/or when they remove their heads from their nether regions.
