Review: Not a cookie cutter romance
Rating: 3 out of 5

Knockout: Jenna and KellanWhen I first thought to read this book, the synopsis read, "This is not a cookie cutter romance". That statement could not be more true. It was utterly heartbreaking. This is not a book where there are 'lovey dovey' moments. This is a brutal, ripped apart, heartbroken love story. And yet, I couldn't look away.The writing in this book showed great talent. As sad and heartbreaking as the story was, it was a story where I had to know what happened next. What were they going to do? How was it going to end? I had to finish the story.When a book is well written and it keeps my attention, it definitely deserves five stars. But it hurt my heart too much to honestly give this book five stars, so I had to give it three. You'll see a lot of reviews about the betrayal between the characters and the continuous heartbreak. It made me feel sick but like I wrote, I had to finish the book. I bought it and read the book in one evening.But regardless of how well a story is written, no one deserves the amount of hurt and pain that Jenna had put on her. I believe it wasn't fair. I was pretty sure of how the story would end, but it took forever to get there. I felt like the author was drawing out the hurt and pain longer than necessary.Overall I highly recommend this book to readers. Although it's a sad story, I found myself continuing to hope for Kellan and Jenna throughout the book. I don't want to give out any details of the story. It's one of those stories in which I will never read again, but I'm so glad I bought it (I only paid .99). There are some great lines in the book. I'll probably read more from this author, that's how well she kept my attention.Now, I must admit, there were some grammatical errors and a few spelling mistakes. But I've seen a lot worse from some other authors, so it's forgiven. But the writer should definitely have that checked next time because well, I still had to pay money to read the book...
