Review: Not Worthy

I never thought I would be this dissapointed with a Kristen Ashley book.  I fell in love with Graham Reece in "For You" and I had so hoped he would have his own story.  He was a biker, a lost soul, an enigma. He was in fact cool enough for February Owens. This was not the Graham Reece we got with this book. His back story sucked.  I hate to admit this, but whereas I usually read a Kristen Ashley book cover to cover as soon as it is available, it took weeks to finish this book - and I read three other books while in the middle of this one.  Hated Zara - hated the age difference (really, is it not bad enough that we loose good men to younger women in real life.....geeze).  I did not like the way Zara talked in the book, thought her entire persona was lame. She was immature and silly.  Whereas in other Kristen Ashley books, when a man lost a woman, he was later rewarded with an even "better" woman.  In "Games of the Heart" Mike had lost Vi, but eneded up with Dusty, who was like Vi, only better.  I wanted a "February Owens" but better for Graham Reece.  Zara was not that. At all. There was no chemistry, no build up, no emotional angst or push and pull as the characters had to work to win each other over.  I disliked the entire nephew, custody issue....and most of all I HATED "Ham" and "Cookie". Give me a break...really??? I could not believe that Kristen reduced the hot biker Graham Reece to a nickname that was comparable to a slab of pork.  Sorry Kristen, love your books for the most part, but this was not worthy.  I would choose to forget I read it and just imagine my own story for Graham Reece.  I'm no writer, but it would have to be an improvement.
