Review: Lost Its Potential

I purchased this book because I was intrigued by the title and description. The cover is beautiful and now I can say without a doubt that a book can't be judged by it's cover. The storyline was decent and could have been very good had the author developed the story more effectively (which could have been done due to the length of the book). The sex, while hot, was unrealistic considering the heroine's past. Zuri was a 21 year old virgin when she first met Christophe. She was ashamed of having mastaurbated.They have sex once and then met again four years later. She hasn't slept with anyone else but somehow she makes the leap from extremely virginal to having anal sex during their second encounter. Maybe she became a closet porn watcher or something. I don't know. It just didn't fit in the story at that point in time. Christophe's cousin discovers their secret past (once again, I don't know how since only three people knew and no one likes him enough to tell him and they don't discuss it around him). The grammar and editing were bad. Not the worst but definitely not good. I don't know the editor's background, but she didn't do a lot of research about Chicago. I really wanted to like this book but unfortunately I didn't. I think the worst was that the title was so misleading. Nothing was done by accident and she wasn't even his mistress!  Sad.
