Review: Good But Frustrating
Rating: 4 out of 5

What I liked...I really did like the premise, and that's why I gave the book a chance. I also really liked Pru and Cash as characters. They are both definitely flawed people. I thought Cash's obsession was a little creepy, but the creepy faded into the story as their relationship progressed. I thought the story had a nice pace, and I really got into it. The love scenes were great.What I didn't like...I didn't realize that the story would be continuing into another book. With its length, I thought for sure that there would be a definitive ending. I figured other books would focus on the story of the other characters like the band members or Cash's sister, and Pru and Cash would just make occasional appearances. I honestly didn't expect the end to not be the end. I think this book would have been great if it wrapped up the story. Within a couple chapters, I could have had a happily ever after. Instead you're left without an ending. It's not even really a cliffhanger. It just ends without resolution. The resolution was so close, and in total reach...but the author has decided to drag it out. I don't get it. Some stories make great stand alone books...not everything has to be a series. That's what bothered me most.Also, there were quite a few grammatical errors. Usually this doesn't bother me, but there was an excessive amount. It actually was quite distracting. Before it was released, some more editing should have been done. Most the errors are pretty obvious (i.e. her instead of his...or the other way around).The final thing that bothered me was the use of NBC, Jay Leno, and The Tonight Show. It seems petty to mention, but it really didn't add anything to the book. Readers don't really need that kind of specific. I mean the book is a fiction contemporary with fictitious characters...why not just say that Cash is an executive producer for a hit television show. As readers, we didn't need the network, the show title, or the name of the television host.I really did like it overall, but I just wish it were a complete book. It seems that more and more authors are turning everything into a series when it's just not needed.
