Review: Not your ordinary cable hook up
Rating: 4 out of 5

Let me start off by saying. The writer really did his/her homework with this story,  There was so much detail about cable installation I really felt bad for my cable guy. There was also indept information regarding air breaks for trains which made me think that a man had written this story.The basis of the story was sound Shauna was a single mother working in a cable call center and Miles was an installer for the cable company. I liked the fact that they had real jobs, like most of us do. There was nothing flashy about their work. I liked how they both had bias and insecurities about dating someone from another race. To me that was a very mature and real approach. In fact, perhaps this book was a little too real in some respects.Miles went through several really brutal accidents and experiences and it was written out in detail so vivid, it had me cringing just to read it. I think the author should have scaled back on some of the gore because honestly the story really didn't need it. (again, I would not be surprised if a man wrote this story)The other thing that could have been done better was the ending. I think Shauan and Miles really should have discussed the things they had experienced which made them split up. The things they experienced are normal things that any IR couple would experience. For example, on the job racial biases, unable to embrace your partner around other of your own race. These are real issues that beg discussing. It seemed important to the story, in my opinion, that they were brought into the light. This was one of those stories where the H/H are telling their best friends all the things they really should be saying to each other.Even with those two concerns. I still liked the story and will read the next one in this series.
