As a lover of Shakespearean
tragedy, the Dark Romeo trilogy was something that I knew I had to read as soon
as I heard about it. Don’t get me wrong, I think Romeo and Juliet were two
stupid kids that mistook intense lust for love, but the story is a great one
nonetheless! Before I came to that conclusion as an adult, I thought the
story was incredibly romantic. Something about feelings so strong that you
would give up anything and risk everything for another person is even more
beautiful than love without complication. Now I view it as it actually is, a
true tragedy, because they gave up their lives for someone that they knew for
only a few days in total. Maybe their relationship would have lasted and maybe
it wouldn’t have, but they made extreme decisions in the heat of the moment that
made their lives come to a sudden and tragic end.
Roman and Julianna are definitely
making some Romeo and Juliet style risky decisions throughout this book. The
difference is that they recognize the seriousness of their situation and are sometimes
forced to make some of the decisions they do in order to save each other. They
are more aware of the consequences of their actions and even try to put a stop
to everything more than once. That allowed me to be drawn further into the
story without too much eye rolling or head shaking in disbelief. Romeo and
Juliet were very young, and that made it easier for me to excuse their
irrational and impulsive behavior. Roman and Julianna are both full grown adults
in important positions and that would make me less sympathetic and more
aggravated if they behaved too recklessly. I think the author did a fine job
balancing everything in such a way that I didn’t get that frustrated with the characters’
behavior, and I even understood most of the decisions they made.
Does that mean they always did
what I would have done? No, but that also makes the story a lot more
interesting. The push and pull, uncertainty, and mistakes are what made me root
for them even harder. It may be too much for some people though, so if that’s not
your thing, steer clear of this one. Roman was giving me and Julianna whiplash
in this book, especially at the end.
The Scent of Roses was better
than its predecessor for me, because there was more suspense, action, and
turmoil this time around. We learn more about Roman, the relationship between
Roman and Julianna feels more developed, and the risks keep getting bigger and
bigger. There was less sex, because the characters spend a lot of time pushing
each other away, but what we do get is hot! I can’t wait to find out what
happens to these two star-crossed lovers in the final book! Will Roman and
Julianna end up like Romeo and Juliet, or will the author gives us a happier
ending? I’m hoping for the latter. Finger’s crossed!
