Review: boring and repetitive

Huntley and Grayson both have heartbreak and tragedy in their pasts. When they meet at college, it seems like they are exactly what they both need to be whole again.Despite a really stupid title which, no matter how you say it, sounds like a typo, this book began with some promise. But multiple REAL typos later (missing paragraph breaks, misspelled or missing words) and the repetitive plot made me sorry I'd started this book.You wouldn't think violence and sex scenes would be boring but somehow the author manages it here. Certain subjects (rape, abusive relationships, cheating) were beaten to death (no pun intended). Others (mother's violent death, sister's rape) were just throw away lines that surprised me, but only because they seemed so out of left field. Like the author was told she needed to up the ante on the tragedy so she just threw these in for good measure.Then there's the main characters' insta-love and incessant searing looks and blushing--and CRYING!! OMG these people cried more than anyone in the history of crying. By the end of the book, I was so sick of hearing how much these two people (tearfully) loved each other, I wanted to throw up.Sadly, except for the ridiculously bad editing, this seems to be a well-practiced style of writing for this author, rather than a freshman attempt.I won't be reading anything else by her.P.S. SPOILER******Really? They name the kid after themselves??? (Almost exactly the same names) SO MANY DEAD RELATIVES and they name the kid after themselves. Uh huh. Most narcissistic parents ever. True to form.
