Review: It desperately needs to be edited but a great new author nonetheless

I normally would knock this story down due to editing issues; however, I loved the characters so much that I don't care. While the editing is lacking the characters are rich and well developed as well as the world building.  Yes some of these are my pet peeves, but, would you rather have a perfectly written story with lacking characters or world building, or a great story with some spelling/word usage challenges?I think Grim is amazing, and Lisa is very strong while still being extremely supporting and loving of Grim.  I loved everything about them, from the way they respect each other to their family dynamic.Lisa is strong without being a B****.  You know what I mean, those heroines that are so awesome but they look good by making the guys look small, or by everyone wanting them.  This is so much better, Lisa is a genuine loving person that builds people up vs tearing them down.  She always gets her way, but she is so nice and warm people want to do things to please her.  Grim is so affection and love starved, I love the way this family fills his life and lets him see his own value, and by doing that, show the rest of the warriors theirs as well.I downloaded a sample and I swear I almost deleted it based on the 1st page, I could not reconcile the way it was written with the great reviews.  Skip the poorly written I guess synopsis and go straight to the book.  As always I recommend seeing if the story sucks you in, I had downloaded several samples and this was the third one, I was so frustrated when I ran out of sample and was irritated waiting the length of time it took to say Purchase now and have it open, I was already that immersed in the story.  It was 10:30 pm when I downloaded it and I finished around 1:00 am and immediately downloaded the novella that comes after this, although by then I was tired enough that I set my alarm early to read it this am :).  I have also purchased her other first series as so far I am in love with the way she does her characters.This author is a must purchase for me @ least on this series.  Try the sample from the first chapter on and I bet it sucks you right in too.Note to author:  I would go through some of the reviews you have and for people that mention your editing but like your style asking them to beta read for you. That would clear up a lot of the glaring issues until you feel you would like to work with an editor.  While I don't like doing the beta myself, I am sure you would have quite a few volunteers were you to put it out there.
