Book Review: The Barriers Series - Sara Shirley
I was blown away by this book/series. I "purchased" four books (Frozen Barriers, Hidden Barriers, Burning Barriers, and Broken Barriers). The books were all for free so I thought why not. I didn’t anticipate a great read as lately it seems a lot of the "free" reads are smut filled, thrown together and poorly written books. However I have found some good authors by the "free" book. Boy, I was in for a surprise!!! I wasn't anticipating being blown away with this refreshing read. Each book is a well written and complete story with no cliffhanger – each book is a standalone. It is told from alternating POVs. In my opinion, this made the story so much more complete seeing it from both sides. You get to see and feel what each one is thinking in the same situations. The words seemed to flow effortlessly and it was so easy to feel the emotion of these two people coming off the pages. The characters and scenes are descriptive enough that you feel you are there experiencing it right along with them. The erotica was just the right amount without being over the top. It is not a smut filled romance - it has just the right amount mixed in to compliment the story. There are plenty of heartbreaking and dark moments with a mix of happiness and fun. Each book plays with your different emotions that will make you angry, laugh, smile, and cry. The way that she wrote each story keeps you connected and not wanting to put the book down. When you get done, you are eager to start the next one. If you are looking for a great read with the perfect amount of sex mixed in, then you need to read the Barriers series books.
