Review: Disconnected &  felt forced
Rating: 1 out of 5

I hate to write poor reviews but this book was ALMOST one I  DNF - I was even thinking of quitting it at 96%. It had serious potential but it felt so disconnected. I loved the idea of the plot being a young business woman who seems to have her s*** together as opposed to the usual "little virgin" or "sappy love sick heroine" - but then somewhere along the line Holli became the latter. It was also long winded in areas and then went in a flash in others where I would seriously re-read sections trying to figure out how one point got to another. I felt like two different people wrote this book and put it together as one because it was so bi-polar with the mixed emotions and the different plot lines that felt forced. The heroine, Holli, had all the makings to be a strong character, yet got ragged on constantly by Dalton and the moment he mentions her being "his angel" or that he loves her she falls all over herself. Where is the self respect?! I get being love drunk but man this was depressingly dumb behavior for a self-made, young, beautiful business woman. Dalton was a total tool and I know that was how it was suppose to start but I didn't see any progression there by the end of the book. His "small town boy" daddy issues seemed predictable and that angle is just sooooo overplayed!! I felt worse for the neighbor Danny! I actually liked his character more than Dalton! I was rooting for him and then I realized that I didn't even want Holli to have him LOL she deserves the Dalton crazy train! I have only not finished one book ever and that was because it was that pathetic I couldn't take it - this had potential but it was a struggle right down to the last line. The first half of the book felt long winded like trying to use up wording to lengthen the book, then the ending comes and basically zooms by! I'm a huge rock star romance book fan and this one disappointed me. I actually don't mind insta-love but I felt like too many scenarios were thrown into the mix between the unfulfilled baseball career, "southern style daddy issues", ...... *****spoiler don't read next lil blurb if you don't wanna know.....accidental drug use, death of the band member, etc. Mostly the fact that Dalton verbally abuses her and then he calls and she  drops whatever is on her plate to be with him and then were suppose to feel like her she stands her ground when she yells at him about how her life has revolved around him for too long - Um no I don't find that to be resolved when the moment she sees his name flash on her cell she goes running.**** spoiler freeUnfortunately this one didn't do it for me. Sorry but this is my honest opinion.
