I love Angela Verdenius romance novels. I've read a heap of them and I enjoyed them all but this last one felt like maybe it had been rushed to "print."  The story is a great one that follows her typical formula (hey, don't fix it if it ain't broke!) of a curvy girl finding love with a manly man protector type.  I really liked the heroine because she had a quiet certainty about her.  Maybe not comfortable in her curvy skin but very comfortable with who she was. The hero was a little bit hazy around the edges, like he hadn't been completely defined before he was thrust into this story.  Also the author seemed to try to dabble in a bit of dominant bedplay and it was...no.  Just no.  Two really sweet characters suddenly getting nasty...it was like imagining my sister being kinky.  *shudders*  Stick with what you know.The author is from Australia so there are some differences in vocabulary and phrasing and that's totally understandable but this last book was chock full of the kinds of grammatical errors I just can't ignore. It seems like each one I've read (starting with the Cop's Passion) has gotten just a touch worse than the last until I'm left closing my eyes and counting to 10 so I can get back into the story.  Oh, and I noticed in the past that she likes to use the word "prurience" during the love scenes...a lot, like...a lot a lot.  But somebody must have brought that to her attention because I didn't notice it once in this book so snaps for that!Overall I'll be honest, I'll probably buy her next book and I'll probably love the story but I'm sure, just like this one, I'll have to do some mental gymnastics to keep from focusing on the minor details and just enjoy the tale.
