Review: Too much of a stretch for me... and not interesting enough to make up for it!

I really enjoyed my first Jess Dee novel (Office Affair). It was hot, but more importantly, it was hot and well written.See You in My Dreams took the fantasy too far in some regards (the pace of the story and dialogue just don't ring true... granted, the characters often acknowledged that "these things just don't happen in real life", but that wasn't enough for me to buy into it), and not far enough in others. Personally, I'm not a fan of Fantasy as a genre, but if you're going to do it, own it.Top this off with poor character development and some majorly cheeseball writing (coming around a "phantom penis"? I could have done without some of that!), this book was a pretty big let down.I am hoping that Jess' writing just developed and matured thoroughly between See You in My Dreams and Office Affair. Despite my lacklustre review of this book, I will happily give her another shot. Fingers crossed!
