Review: Not her finest

I really appreciate Heather Webber's style of romance - sexy but not explicit, staying to the sweeter side of the genre. This work, however, went from sweetly steamy to syrupy putrescence. There is no suspense, nothing even close to tension, in the plot, and the characters are boringly cliche. Some of the lines actually made me cringe, they were so overly profuse and scripted. This book is a light read, and has a moment or two of shining humour, but mostly it felt like being stuck inside the head of a woman with too many fantasies and not enough real-life loving. Try Webber's Valentine Inc series, instead. Or Gemma Halliday's High Heels Mysteries. Meg Cabot's got some decent ones. Or check out Shannon Hale's Austenland. All are better than this!
