Review: Don't Authors Know?
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 07 22, 2013
*Sigh* Another author who writes a really great story, even has a great ghost (one of my favorite paranormal elements), yet still includes an explicit sex scene that takes up several pages. In this book, the characters and storyline are well developed and well written. That, along with the very well done candle lit scene *prior* to the graphic sex scene shows us the heart and soul of the relationship and love between the main characters. Voicing the sexual details is unnecessary and even a bit jarring, contrasting sharply with how the author develops the relationship between the main characters before and after that scene.This book has me asking:If a book is character driven or plot driven and does not, other than natural sexual attraction, have erotica as part of the storyline, why toss in a graphic sex scene? Don't authors know their stories are already good enough without an explicit sex scene?I was not looking for erotica when I chose this book; it spoiled this otherwise delightful book for me. My apologies to the ghost--I am deleting this book from my Kindle library.
