Review: Beware: Romance Novel of Zero Stars
Rating: 1 out of 5

No star review is not possible....I downloaded this thinking it was fantasy fiction, but it is only a romance novel, perhaps a Harlequin reject at that. The writer seems to have grabbed nothing but buzz words, thrown them into a computer, and then strung them together with an amateur's plotline. We have Hollywood soap stars with plastic surgery, bondage, drug use, promiscuity, and over-the-top wealth; a mish-mosh described using a tiny (misspelled!) vocabulary. A sense of the twee is everywhere - quite the disconnect with the clumsy sexual innuendo the author brings up for no reason at every turn. After our thinly-conceived heroine coyly seduces everyone she sees, there is no actual contact other than chaste kisses taking place. Is that a romance novel device or what?I am glad this was free! There were so many things to dislike...Irritatingly, the misspelled words are on almost every page. (When will writers and editors figure out the difference between "discreet" and "discrete" and use the right word?) Now I notice it is 99 cents -- still too much to pay for it.
