Not for me
*sigh*
I’m not sure where to start.
Let’s start with the positive. The story has a lot of promise. I won’t rehash the synopsis, but I liked the premise and the characters were likable enough and they certainly had chemistry. The story was a little predictable, but overall it could be a fun read.
Now the not so positive.
I’ll start with the fact that the book ends at 39%, the rest is comprised of “bonus content”, which is NOT listed in the description. Had I known this was the case, I wouldn’t have purchased the book. It’s deceiving to open up a book, get started, and think “oh, I have 60% more of the story, this is going to be great!” Only to have it stop.
Next is the editing. There are some serious problems with subject/verb agreement.
Examples:
“Well, there was a few requirements...”
“Is there any limits you won’t cross with him?”
The meeting continues, and while there’s a few times...
The errors are riddled throughout and it was distracting. I honestly was shocked to see an editor listed because there were so many errors.
Finally, the sex scenes. I got to the point where I was skimming because I was bored. There comes a point where it is perfectly acceptable to fade to black and this book needed it. I read erotica, but at some point this book moved from erotic to ridiculous.
I hate leaving critical reviews but I think it’s only fair that readers know what they’re getting into. I know that multiple sex scenes are a huge selling point for a lot of readers and that is perfectly fine, but if someone is looking for a little more substance, they need to know that this book is not exactly the place to get it.
This is the first book I’ve read by this author and I’ll give her another try, but this book was just not for me.
