Desire’s Way by
Ginni Conquest is the love story of Chase Rivers, owner of Rivers Security and
Desiree Maisson, a wedding planner. While on a job, Chase watched Desiree walk
by every day until he decided he had to meet her. He orchestrates a way to bump
into her and talk with her. He discovers the name of her company and decides to
visit her later that day. The sparks fly immediately as the two begin to date and
become very close. Everything seems to be going smoothly until trouble comes
their way, the two must find a way to be together. Will Chase and Desiree truly
live happily ever after?
I’ve been reading romance novels since middle school and Desire’s Way is what I would describe
as a typical Harlequin romance. In the book, there’s an instant attraction and
the sexual tension builds up fast. I had a hard time enjoying the book for two
reasons. First, the format and editing of the book was very distracting. The
book started on the left side page when books typically start on the right side.
Chapters also started a line after the previous chapter ended. It looks like
the author wrote the book in Word and printed it from there. Also the double
spacing is very unnecessary in a book. Again looks like a Word document in book
form. Another format choice I don’t understand is the author chose to capitalize
words that don’t need to be capitalized. For instance, the word aunt was capitalized
in the middle of a sentence without a proper name. Second, the story itself. As
I said, I’ve been reading romance novels for a very long time. This story is
very much like a Harlequin romance where everything happens very quickly. Not
to knock Harlequin novels too bad because I’ve read some really good ones that
remain on my “keeper shelf.” However, this book is not one of those. I can’t
tell you how many times I rolled my eyes and mumbled “oh geez” at certain parts
of the story. I especially disliked Chase’s typical macho behavior of “get your
hands off my woman” while on their first date! I mean, come on!!! If you enjoy
a quick love story, you may enjoy Desire’s
Way. However, if you enjoy a true love story with deep emotions and substance,
stay away from Desire’s Way.
