Because this was free, I though I'd take a chance on a new author. I was disappointed. While the premise seemed interesting, the execution didn't live up to the promise. Props to the author for good grammar, punctuation and sentence structure, all of which are very important for a story to be enjoyable. Unfortunately, the characters were totally unbelievable and not at all likeable.I kept waiting for the male characters to redeem themselves in some way. I kept waiting for the heroine to grow a spine. Neither event happened. Maybe I'm particularly demanding, but I really want to LIKE the characters when I read a romance, and I found the female character to be weak and unbelievable and the males to be nothing more than selfish, horny jerks. And the sex was not hot at all. Wham and bam but no "thank you, ma'm." No foreplay, not even in the very first scene when the heroine was supposed to be a virgin. These guys took no care of her at all yet she still managed to have an orgasm? Not believable at all.I do hope this author keeps writing. I think she needs to work on character development more, and possibly collaborate with a good editor who could give her guidance on creating compelling characters and situations. The overall quality of the writing was good enough that I would be willing to take another look at a more developed story from her.
