Review: Missing Something....

Thanks to the publisher, Carina Press, and NetGalley for the chance to read this early!I often venture out of my comfort zone to try new authors -- more often than not I'm rewarded with a new adventure. This time I was very disappointed. I think my main problem is the lack of romance, or should I say, the fact that the romance between Jack & Melanie seemed lacking - and even a little forced. My favorite relationship in the book is between Jack & Ryan, Melanie's son.I'd say the majority of this book revolved around Melanie's past. Even after Ms. Scott delved into Melanie's background, I couldn't sympathize with her, and towards the end of the story, when her past is revealed to everyone I felt that she over dramatized everything. Another thing that bugged me about her is she is extremely overbearing when it comes to Ryan; to the point of WoW give the kid a break.Even though, Jack was a very well developed character, and believably written, he wasn't all that easy to like - Who wants a hero who can't stand up for himself? Not Me. Also even though I felt that Melanie was over dramatizing her issue - Jack never seemed to gain an understanding.Disclosure: This ebook was provided to me free of charge through NetGalley for the sole purpose of an honest review.
