Review: The story needs a good and solid editor, head hopping without warning and a general feel of unfocused intention

Every now and then I want a sweeter romance, one that deals with softer humans and not only paranormals or ultra-alpha males with a predilection for BDSM.  Mixing in a touch of ‘otherworldliness’ when January finds a coin that will help her find Mr. Right.Jan is a character who has zero self-confidence, and this lack of confidence manifests itself in shrewish, boorish behavior. It is almost as if she is blaming the world for her unhappiness, and just has to share it.  She was hard to like, and even harder to empathize with, and in a short story (this is about 60 pages) disliking the main character that is seeking love is close to the kiss of death.It isn’t until the near half-way mark when the coin, and it’s associated paranormal connections enter the story: and then there is little to no discussion, concern or even follow-through about Jan’s peculiar acceptance.  When she does meet a man, Glen, he too is hard to deal with: accepting of her mercurial mood swings and little to no connection or romance is displayed.The story needs a good and solid editor, head hopping without warning and a general feel of unfocused intention kept this book in the readable but just category: had it been any longer, I cannot think that I would have continued on to finish it.  There were no real resolutions or growth for the characters, and the whole story left me unmoved.I received an eBook copy for purpose of honest review for The Jeep Diva. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own responsibility.
