Review: Immature and Filled with Foul Language

When I first started reading, I hoped the story would get better. It didn't; it got worse. Samantha and Isabella, Sam's best friend, sounded immature and slutty, with statements like, "Omigod! You've got the hots for Cheyenne Wells" and "Damn right I'm pissed. Who said he could grow up to be an Aztec God?" There was definitely an overuse of "sh*t." All this bad language didn't just happen in the dialogue but also in the narrative. The book is filled with it. In addition to being loaded with profanity, the characters do a lot of drinking and clichés are overused. Sam seems very self-centered and doesn't seem to have the education it would take for a veterinarian. There were also some facts and happenings in the story I questioned. Would one puppy's rabies shot be enough to protect an adult? Sam slathers her tamales with green chili [sic], but it didn't say anything about her unwrapping them first. Samonella is a bacteria and not a virus. There were missing commas and characters who had no purpose in the story. Even the ending was a let down. It ends so that the reader knows who has ended up with Sam, but the story just stops there. If you are a romantic, you will have to use your imagination if there's to be a commitment or what's to happen beyond the let's-get-together. I feel I wasted my time on this one. It was too trashy for me.
