Review: Wonderful, Must Read but Put Blinders On

Like Best: Vivian Rose Lee has a story to tell that kept me riveted to Mya a courageous heroine who grew into her own as she searched for one thing--to be loved by a parent--and found so much more. Hunter was a zero hero at first but became my manly hero. Loved how he discovered what he didn't think he deserved--to be loved by a good woman. The emotional connection that Mya and Hunter eventually found was touching, and the bedroom activity was appropriate, moving from intense lust making in the beginning to emotional, h-o-t love making as their love grew (very good and tasteful writing). The strong 2nd tier of supporting cast have intricate roles and are not cardboard figures. One person is Mya's father who has issues to face before he and Mya can bond. And there's plenty of emotional baggage for other major players to sort out. These characters add layers and depth to the story and is like watching a flower bloom.Like Too: Just 2B Loved includes danger, injustice, drama, and hopelessness that is realistic and not over done. There's also humor and spicy dialogue and actions that had me rooting, "You go girl." Folks for me the HEA is like sunshine on a spring day, but to get there one needs 3+ hankies to cry in, 2 bitter lemons to suck on, and 1 tall glass of ice tea laced with bourbon for the sheer misery that Mya went through. Well done Ms. Lee.Dislike: Errors are always present in books, but I prefer to only focus on reviewing the story. This is the first time I've had to talk about errors in a review because they are sooo many that it disrupts/slows down the flow of reading! Ms. Lee, this is a running complaint in reviews of your other books. Just 2B Loved is a very good story drowning in poor workmanship or as a reviewer of Just 2B Loved wrote, "filet mignon served on a trash can lid." I'm sorry Ms. Lee, but I'm getting my $2.99 refunded as the price does not provide the level of quality that I expect. I hope intense editing is done soon. Hire a new editor and only allow a new release after you approve the content.Recommend: You should read this enjoyable novel, but caution you're paying a lot for poor or no editing. See my Dislike section above if you skipped over it. You may find Just 2B Loved is worth the $2.99 price in spite of extremely poor editing. Just put blinders on to weed out distractions because you'll need to really focus on reading to get through this hot mess of poor editing. But I love Ms. Lee's writing style and will check out her other books, BUT I will purchase with caution.4 stars for the story. 5 stars in the future if serious edits get done.
