Review: Had, had, had, had enough

I didn't expect to write a review of this book.  I read a lot of books, way too many to do reviews for all of them, so I generally only write reviews if they were exceptionally good or really bad.  I don't want to take the time to review an average book.  And this one should have been average.  It reminded me of an 80's Harlequin, with Yanis, rich and powerful, dominating Lee throughout most of the book.  I was ok with that because I was in the mood for a "mean" hero and I thought the storyline flowed pretty well.  I noticed in reviews of her other books that people complained about grammatical errors.  There were plenty of those, but if the story is good enough I don't mind overlooking them.What I couldn't overlook was the overuse of the word "had".  By the middle of the book it was to the point that I couldn't even concentrate on the story because "had" kept jumping out at me.  Sometimes several in one sentence.  Out of curiosity I counted them once and there were 16 just on one page.  So I basically just skimmed the last half of the book because it was too painful plowing through the "hads".  But the story itself was good enough that I wanted to see how it ended.If not for all of the "hads" throughout the book I would have given it 3 stars.  It's a nice average story.  I got Kidnapped the Wrong Sister by this author because it was free and I'm sure I'll read it, but I noticed one of the reviews for that book also mentioned that had was overused, so it's obviously a trend.  That's too bad because her books have a lot of potential.  I don't think I will pay for any more of her books though.
