Review: A mixed bag, but ultimately disappointing
Rating: 3 out of 5

This books starts well, if a little predictably.  Bratty heroine, impossibly competent and amazingly sexy hero.  I downloaded the free sample, decided the first chapters were promising enough, and bought the book.Now I do not know what it is about some of these Kindle books.  This is the second time I read a good beginning, only to be disappointed when I bought the book and read on.  In short, there is this absurdly silly section of the book that takes up the middle.  I wish somebody had talked the author out of this aspect, or worked with her to make the plot less - well, silly is the word.  Eye-rollingly silly, but still well written, so I ploughed on.And then the third part of the book changes completely and becomes a great read, the best part of the entire book.  That is why I gave this book three stars, despite the idiocy of the middle section.If you can make yourself ignore - or gloss past - the silly burglar plot that makes up the middle of this book, you will find the rest of the book very interesting.  Well, okay, there is some obvious plot manipulation at the very end, but then there kind of had to be - the author had written herself into a corner and "more silly" was the only way to write her character into a happy ending.I cannot, in all honesty, recommend this book.  Bu I am going to keep an eye on this author and I recommend that others do the same.  Anybody can make unfortunate plot choices, but talent and writing ability do not happen by accident.  This lady will be writing some very good books.  This one, sadly, is not one of them.  But she WILL be writing some very good books in the future.  For all I know, she already has and this book was just a hiccup.  I will be looking to see what else she has written after I post this review.
