Review: Disappointing read despite the passionate love scenes

I got my copy from ARe - 2.75 starsAbby Montgomery bumps into Javon Bouvier while heading to a bar. Since he's on the way to the same bar, they go together. Abby's friend cancels their date at the last minute, and Javon conveniently steps in to keep her company. Their attraction is instant and mutual. After Javon drops her off at home with the promise of another date the following day, Abby is nearly attacked in her apartment. She calls Javon, who rushes to her rescue and insists that she stay with him until her attacker is found. Safely ensconced in his mansion, the desire and passion continues to build between them. Eventually he tells her that he's a vampire. Javon is overjoyed with how well she takes the truth, and their feelings for one another deepen. But Maurice, an old frenemy has resurfaced, and he wants revenge. What better way to get back at the vampire who turned him, than to take away his mate? When Abby is kidnapped, help comes from unexpected sources, but will they be able to save her in time?This story is in serious need of an editor. Multiple spelling and grammar mistakes, most of them were repeated often throughout the story. Even misspelling the hero's name (Jovan instead of Javon). But those alone didn't prompt my low rating. The writing just wasn't that good. The conversations were often choppy: he did this, he did that, this happened and that happened. The story simply didn't flow/unfold. Some things sounded plain silly and other things just didn't make sense.With the surprising twist at the end, I think Maurice, the villain, gets off too easily. After everything he's done, I don't think he can or should be redeemed. Until this story gets "cleaned up", I don't think this is worth 99 cents.
