Review: not much of a story
Rating: 2 out of 5
Date: 10 1, 2011
Stuff happens at the start of the book and stuff happens a few chapters before the end, but the rest has as much action or interest as paint drying.  Maybe if the story had been shortened up considerably, it would have been better.  The scenes are all drawn out until the story has no momentum.  I can see why the heroine asks the hero if he is gay.  He keeps tentatively coming on to her and then backing off and acting like he never showed any interest in between.  I like plenty of romantic tension that builds quite a bit before the first kiss even, but it has to be tension, not boredom.  I liked the female main character, but the guy character seemed dull.  I couldn't maintain interest in his heartburn about his last serious girlfriend. Then after the climax of the story, there's this get together of all the couples from the other books in the series that went on way too long.  This author needs to work on plotting and characterization I think. It  would have been better if there was more detail about the two characters' backstories.  At least this story was only 99 cents.  If the story had been edited and pared down, it might have made a good short story.
