Wow.  This was by FAR the worst editing I've EVER EVER EVER experienced. It was also the most bizarre. Yes, there were misspelled and misused words like "trail derailed" rather than "train" and over & over "panty"/singular when the more common vernacular would be "panties" in the context, but the weirdest part was the MISSING words.  Your reading along and being like...wait...WTH?!  Words you know belong in the sentence are just eliminated and you have to reread the sentences to mentally add in the missing word so the sentence makes any sense. Then there was an instance where the wrong persons name was inserted into scenarios. [Where Zander says something like- Thats why John & Kieran are my best friends.  I'm guessing she meant to say John & Xavier??]. That was just disrespectful to the characters. The scariest part is her enthusiastic thank you to KMS editing for their professional help.  If I was KMS I would insist she remove any connection between our company and this published rough draft.Also, as mentioned the football information is total just silliness. I also feel kind of bad for her husband who she also thanks for his help with the football data. Poor fella... I'm just a Southern Girl who happens to be ridiculously passionate about NCAA D1 ball (SEC) as well as Pro, but this football fairytale just made me embarrassed for the fella she credits. I will say I was forewarned in the book blurb about the football info not being accurate so that was expected and didn't ultimately determine my low opinion of this story.As far as the story.  I thought all the weird names stating with Z's, X's, Sev? Etc... We're just trying WAAAAAYYY too hard.  Yes, the hero has to have an usual and hot name (we get it, we expect it, it's the norm) but seriously. Zander Zobowski??  That name is SO NOT hot.  However, I did totally love Zander's character. He was a total sweetie. I thought the Brennan issue was just weird and seemed like totally forced conflict to me. Lastly, I thought the ending with Kieran's revelations was just unnecessarily sad.One more gripe-  I thought the cover was AAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWFFFFFFFFUUUUUUULLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!  This is just a silly opinion and I'm sure there are plenty of people that feel otherwise, but I just thought it was immensely cheesy and looked exceptionally juvenile.Bottom lining it- I would not say I didn't mildly enjoy yet book, but I would not recommend it. There are way to many other wonderful reads to suggest this one is worth anyone's time.
