Review: author is a scam artist

***SPOILERS***Before I even get into the problems with the story I have to start with the author's con game. The first book (80 pages) is free. It ends abruptly with the dreaded cliffhanger. Books two and three are each about the same length (80-90 pages) and are $2.99 each. This is $6 for what will equal one full novel. $6 is an acceptable price for an established author who writes well. Ms. Harper is neither of these things. Furthermore, established authors who respect their readers don't play these kinds of games.The story itself is problematic and cliched. We start with the hot, well-endowed, wealthy businessman and the nearly virginal heroine. She works at his hotel in a job far below her education and abilities. Not knowing who he is, she has sex with him after knowing him for five minutes. He offers her a promotion, working by his side contingent on her continuing to have sex with him at his whim. After only a moment's consideration she accepts. However, when her ex-boyfriend implies that she got her job by having sex with her boss she and said boss get angry. While the ex BF is an emotionally abusive jerkwad, he called the situation correctly.We all know that in the end she'll end up with her boss and they will get married and live happily ever after in wealthy, wedded bliss. However, at the point book one ended she was caught between her boss and her ex BF and couldn't decide who she should be with. She gives not a moment's consideration to the third and best option: neither. Choosing between those two men is like choosing between a root canal and a colonoscopy.This type of story appeals to many readers, so it will probably continue to get high ratings and readers will clamor for the overpriced sequels. My advice is don't waste your time.
