Review: Not as good as I hoped... (spoiler alert)

Was very excited to receive an advanced copy, as I am a big fan of the hot romance/erotica genres.  The story idea has merit, the descriptive nature of the writing good, the main character a strong heroine (no wimpy girl waiting to be saved here, thank God!), and Erik the Ax is quite yummy!  However, the setting and the dialogue don't go together, the sex isn't hot enough to be erotica (tho the one scene with Erik, Rolf, and our main character might surprise mainstream paperback love story-only readers), and there is no happy ending! I think it is a nice first effort, but not something I would expect from someone with writing chops.  If you are looking for a nice afternoon diversion while waiting for the kids to get off school, go ahead and read it.  But if you are looking for some serious heat, this is not the story you want.  Keep writing, Emma, I think you are on the path, and best of luck!!
