Helpful Score: 2
You have to go into Butterfly Tattoo with a very open mind. I almost didnt give this book a chance because I thought it was male/male relationship- it isnt. It is a story that makes you feel it is not all butterflies and rainbows with an overwhelming HEA. It is about deep love, loyalty, and healing on the inside. It seems all the characters, not just the H/h, have emotional baggage by the truck loads.
First of all, I totally thought this was an erotica book because of the unconventional romance. The hero Michael was committed to a man for 12 years and had a child with him and then after his partner, Alex, dies he finds himself falling in love with Rebecca. It was not erotica at all and had only one very mild sex scene, but yet it was so intimate. That being said it was just so different than most of the romances I have read. More along the lines of how I feel when I am reading a Megan Hart book, not warm and fuzzy more realistic.
The writing style is very different, which took some getting use to. Each chapter alternated between Michael and then Rebeccas point of view. Even though it wasnt a mystery there was a lot of suspense and anticipation. I loved that when a problem or a question was revealed, it wasnt immediately solved- it kept you guessing. Sometimes I felt it could have moved a little quicker, but then I think it would have lost the developing intensity of the relationships.
Open up your heart and see where it leads, I sure did.
