Review: Very disappointing! Terrible editing!

I'm having a difficult time figuring out where to start this review. Should it be the shallowness of the characters and the fact that they did not seem to be very likable at all? Or maybe I need to mention the fact that I couldn't find a single point of identification with either the characters or the setting. Also, there is the matter of the truly awful editing which made reading the story very choppy and was extremely annoying. Almost all the adverbs did not end in "ly" as they should have. (I must admit, that is a particular pet peeve of mine.) The tenses were all over the place and the use of wrong words was scattered throughout the book. For example, the word "ruminants" was used when the word should have been "remnants" and "interrupted" was used in place of "interpreted." A really big issue was the lack of any conflict to overcome and the entire romance was so rushed as to seem totally unbelievable. (The scene where Balerie exercises in her underware after a cocktail party that took place after she had only worked with Tommy for one day had me rolling my eyes.) This all boils down to the fact that I didn't enjoy reading this story and I would recommend that if you are seeking a romance, to look elsewhere.
