Review: Writing is beyond bad

The plot of this novella will read like a rehash to anybody passing familiar with Harlequins.  By itself, that is not an issue.  What is an issue is the absolutely abysmal quality of the writing.  I'm pretty certain that English isn't Kelly's first language.  That wouldn't be a problem if she had asked somebody, anybody, to proofread the darn thing.  Other reviewers have done a great job of pointing out the many flaws.  They pile on top of each other until it is virtually impossible to pay attention to anything else.What I found particularly annoying was the author's over-reliance on "so" and "such.""She looked back at him, so angry."  "He growled with such a masculine sound."(The male main, by the way, does everything with "such a masculine sound."  It got to the point that I asked my husband if he could spend the evening laughing and growling and sighing like Nikias, with "such a masculine sound."  He tried some different ways, but we never really figured out how he could growl in a non-masculine way, unless he deliberately tried to sound like Eartha Kitt or something).Bottom line:  Retread plot, terrible writing.  Even for free, reading this book costs too much.
