Review: VERY SWEET STORY
Rating: 2 out of 5

I just wanted to enjoy this sweet story but the author threw several uncommon words in the mix. Words not generally used in my every day conversations. Words like: bonhomie, hedonistic, importunately, persephone, amorphous, parse, voluble, ersatz, majordomo, lassitude and so on. Having to stop and think about these words and their meaning within the sentence really robbed me of my enjoyment and delight with the storyline. I am not a stupid person and I articulate very well but this author seemed to challenge my intelligence and force me to think when I just wanted a simple, uninterrupted, unchallenging read.This is a very light hearted, simple romance. The characters are fun and interesting. Those words just did not fit. They did not add to but rather took away from this otherwise sweet and easy little read.The story deserves 4.5 stars. Throwing in the two-dollar words reduced my enjoyment thereby reducing the stars to only two.
