Review - Bleeding Love by Steve Genis




Title: Bleeding Love: The Untold Story of Romeo & Juliet
Author: Steve Genis
Release Date:  April 4, 2015



Think you know everything about the world's most famous love story? Think again!

Move over Shakespeare, this is one makeover like no other.

21 year old Romeo Montague is hot, single, sexy and rich. What more could any man ask for?

How about, love?

Meet 18 year old Juliet Capulet. She's also hot, single, sexy and rich.
 
Sounds like the perfect match, right?

Think again!

When their two worlds collide, they will sacrifice everything for love, including their warring families.

This is a story about sex, love, hope, and tragedy.

This story fills in many missing pieces never shown on stage or screen.
 
With many characters altered from the original tale to fit in with their modern day counterparts, this story is retold in the complete modern day English language, based on today's everyday living standards and set in modern day Paris, France.

This is Bleeding Love, The Untold Story of Romeo and Juliet.

It is no secret that I love romance stories, and when I read this blurb and saw that it was Romeo and Juliet I was all for it! There was a lot going on and many characters were introduced. We get the Romeo and Juliet story we are used to but in a more modern way, with cell phones and cars. 

We get to see the struggle Romeo and Juliet go through as they declare their love for one another but realize that they can't/shouldn't be together because of their family feud. Natalie, Juliet's older sister, does try to help them out as much as possible, yet because of family obligations she seemed conflicted. There were many that were against them but a handful that were there for them, to help even though they knew that it would probably end in tragedy. 

This wouldn't be a romance story if there wasn't angst, passion, drama, and love. I can say there was plenty of that, and at times it confused me and I had to re-read some parts again. It was a good story but I felt, at times, there was too much going on and I would have liked it if it was explained or expanded on a little more.
