Review: Okay sex scenes but poorly written story about immaturely drawn characters
Rating: 2 out of 5

I didn't HATE IT but I did DISLIKE IT. According to Amazon's star rating, two stars is for dislike and one for hate. Out of five stars I believe this is a one star book, but following Amazon's descriptions I have to give it two stars as I don't feel venomous about it.Oh dear -- someone who loves the author told her she can write and should publish. I disagree -- she may have a story(-ies) to tell but she also needs some MAJOR editing and rewriting. My biggest issue was the ridiculous overuse of exclamation points! after every utterance! especially by the male lead, a 49 year-old successful businessman! I am pretty sure most men (let alone adults of any gender) don't exclaim after every sentence!So Jack is the male lead in question; he is a widower and depressed. He leads a four billion dollar fashion enterprise.Kate is a 22 year-old fashion design / merchandising student who is in financial straits. Thanks to her roommate's urging, she posts a profile on a "seeking a sugar daddy" website, which Jack happens to visit. He is instantaneously taken with her photos and then, when they meet a few days later, he is taken with her personally. So taken with her, in fact, that he decides to invest a lot of money and even more time into making her business proposal a reality.Um, okay. I can suspend a certain amount of disbelief but this strained credulity too far. The immaturity of the two leads was embarrassing. As a reader, I was cringing.The sex was, for the most part, fine, and that may be the author's forte.An ultimately disappointing and uninteresting read.I mightn't have been moved to leave a review if the author herself hadn't excoriated other honest and fair one-star review writers. That is in such poor taste and equally poor form.
