Review: Great Male Character, Story Needs Editing
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 11 30, 2012
I waffled on my rating of this book from 3 stars to 4. The deciding factor was the Epilogue which solidified the reasons I couldn't rate it higher. The story needs serious editing. Sentence structure was incorrect, words left out that needed to be there, other words used that were wrong, bad punctuation, including the use of quotes around dialogue being omitted.The story also has terrible head hopping and thereby lots of telling. The Epilogue was the worse example of this in the book, telling me exactly what happened in the lives of the characters for the next years. I also had an issue with the Christian portion of it. A lot of the Christian references felt a bit stereotypical at times and unnatural.All of that said, I liked Cade a lot. What a great character. The author showed well his struggles with his past and his difficulties moving into the future. The story line kept pace and that kept me reading. I wanted to know if he would ever admit he loved Kyle. The characters' names threw me off, his being female and hers being male, but that did not detract from their personalities and in the end, that is what I enjoyed about the story - the personality of Cade David. He was very male. My only complaint is I REALLY dislike a book getting the characters together on the last page and then ending.Overall an average read.
