Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this book, because I recognized the author's name and the premise sounded great. Well, the story had little to nothing to do with Hanover House, and overall it was just bad, bad, bad. I don't know what to make of an established author writing this way. The character interactions were laughable. The heroine meets the hero who she hardly knows and feels the need to tell him that because of her horrific past she can't dance or make out with people. Seriously? Did I just read that? The dialogue and exchanges continue to be that ridiculous, and whenever things get really tedious...just throw in an exclamation point! A lot of them! Even when they are totally unnecessary! More exclamation points! This is exactly how it felt to be reading this non-story. Even the mother's fear for her daughter's career choice comes through with, "But you're just so beautiful! Gag. I am stunned this was ever published.
