I received a copy of Burned for an honest review.*Sigh* I loathe giving any kind of negative review but here it goes. I honestly could not get into this book. I was so excited to read it and then…nothing.First the cover for this book is hot hot hot. I mean seriously that chest is yummy. Seeing that cover made me think this book was going to be filled with some hot sexy scenes. Instead I got well nothing. No hotness no yummy scenes, nothing.Then there’s the whole thing with the characters. All of the characters talked and thought so properly it was almost as if they weren’t human which I mean they’re characters but you get what I mean.I am going or Is it really? On and on with the proper it just didn’t feel authentic to me. No matter how “proper” you are I don’t think you think or talk like that all the time. Even the non-proper roommate talked like that so it wasn’t just the main character.The never ending description also got to me. I love dialogue. Yes I get that the characters inner thought are important but who thinks like this:“Exotic flowers I couldn’t name decorated the cherry wood tables.”I get she’s nerdy or at least I think but who thinks about cherry wood tables? I just seemed like a whole lot of fluff and not a lot of content.Lastly, I’m generally not a picky person about this unless in stops the flow of my reading. Grammatical errors. They started on the first page and they kept getting worse. It just seemed as if this book needed a quick read through. Like I said I usually don’t give a rats behind about it but half the time I was trying to figure out what was being said because of it and that is the only reason I am mentioning it.All in all while this book was a disappointing it did have its okay moments. The whole reason for a lawyer looking for a girlfriend online theme seemed interesting but whenever got to that point because in my personal opinion the fluff. I am hoping the next book is better.
