Review: Very Frustrating

Sorry but the whole book seemed like a very long confusing prologue , which was surprising as the Author has many other offerings. Part of my problem with the protagonist may lie in the fact [per some other reviews] this is an expansion or spin-off , so there are to me a lot of  seemingly random characters popping in , who [apparently] have little purpose in moving Zack's story along. I also found it very hard to identify or sympathize with Zack; as he is just to bland for my taste.The laying of groundwork to introduce romantic interest(s) is [IMO] frustrating, boring, tedious and unfocused. The author's attempt to show flirtatious interactions strikes me as flat, nave and more of an afterthought simply there to establish a promise (mostly unrealized) of actual sexual tension / situations. An example;  'Mirror Him looked out from the top of the counter and shook his head, "you're a moron, you know that you could have totally banged Barb and Lenore. Never has one man ruined so many chances to get laid, in so little time...".  There are too many details regarding his cleaning the store, shopping , bartering for items.The worst part for me was after plodding through 95% (or so it seems) of the book the real action, and background development was delivered abruptly [***Spoilers: who was responsible for his captivity and missing memories, what became of his parents]Again sorry but just being honest as Zack's inner voice might say  " Too much fluff and filler so get over it I don't agree with you"
