Review: Bipolar book - what was it trying to be?
Rating: 2 out of 5

Is it a romance? Is it erotica? Is it an attempt at an action/thriller? I really couldn't work it out.The book started out as if it was going to be a romance (and it was marketed that way). It moved, fairly quickly, to include some gratuitous sex scenes which, unfortunately, were devoid of any real substance. It was as if they were written by a bloke (and I do mean, 'bloke', not man). Suddenly, it introduced a twist, as if it wanted to be a mystery/thriller and the whole story seemed to be hijacked by a bizarre sub-plot about a missing hooker. I began to feel like Robert G. Barrett had come back from the dead to have a go at romance.As for the relationship between the main protagonists, Elizabeth and Hunter (I won't call them H/h), it was way too implausible. It almost seemed as if the author began writing a romance between Elizabeth and another character, but got side-tracked by the sub-plot involving Hunter and decided it would be more interesting to work him as the main love interest. Whatever! It was too off-base for me - I really didn't enjoy it and returned for refund.For those who care, the author did show a decent grasp on technical skills. Just wish she had better control of her plot development.
