I have read some decidedly bad books in my day, but this one makes those look almost Pulitzer-worthy. It's really a shame because it had, if nothing else, a decent plot.Monet, daughter of Pecan Falls' sheriff, is a 26-year-old virgin librarian who writes a sex column on the side.  Elijah is a cop brought in as a secret bodyguard to Monet and her sister because the sheriff has been receiving anonymous letters threatening the safety of one or both of them.See?  That doesn't sound so bad, right?  But, dear God - the lack of execution and character development was dreadful.  There are hints of a problem in Elijah's past - never explained.  On his very first day in town, the perpetrator of the threatening letters is caught - no explanation as to who he was or why he did it. Elijah and Monet have sex; Monet is in love; Elijah thinks his world has changed forever.  Job done, on day 2 he drives off into the sunset.  He returns several weeks later to declare his undying love, Monet drops everything, hops on the back of his motorcycle and leaves town without a second thought.  Although she does say she will call her parents and let them know she's gone. Nice of her. Sheesh.There.  My review is almost longer than the book (which is nowhere near the 78 pages it claims to be).Recommendation:  Unless you want to use this as an example of how NOT to write a book, don't waste your time.  Even if it's free.  It's just that bad.
