Review: Well . . . It's a Freebie

I only made it half way through this book.It opened OK, brief scene introducing the heroine and her father, a flurry of action to introduce the plot, and then . . . it just DIES. We spend an endless amount of time fruitlessly walking through the city as the characters mentally ruminate. There is the occasional stop for brief conversation, quick food, not to mention a little frottage (this is erotica), but this useless walking just goes on AND ON. It is the entire first half of the book!Also, the characters just behave stupidly. SPOILER ALERT: Hero leaves heroine alone in the room to go get a pizza, with instructions to shoot anybody that comes through the door. Instead, she takes a shower, knowing that it wasn't safe, but she just couldn't wait. Hmmm . . . On his part, after leaving her with these intstructions to kill anyone coming in, HE does so without calling out to her. She almost shoots him, of course. And this is AFTER she tried to brain him with a two-by-four earlier in the day in the exact same set of circumstances. Ummm . . .I won't be reading anything else by this author. But since it is free, judge for yourself.
