Now to be sure, it was clear to me that the story was published in pieces before I picked it up from reading the information about the book. I didn't like the idea of buying what is in essence a book in bits and pieces, but I thought I would give it a try to be fair, and a free book is a pretty harmless way to do it. So, This review is not me calling "Foul! I was cheated." I wasn't.Right off the top I'm glad I grabbed this when it was free. I picked it up because there was another book by this author I wanted to read, but it seems this author, instead of publishing a complete story, publishes her stories in bits and pieces... large bits and pieces, but bits and pieces nonetheless. An Indecent Proposition is about 5 chapters in the story. Call me old-fashioned, but when I read a book (novel or novella) I want the complete story. I've read serial stories and loved them, and came back for more! The thing those all had in common, however, was a complete story with beginning, middle and end. This is more like a telanovela, where you have to come back each week to get the next bit... oh but before you can get to the next part you have to PAY, again and again. If the idea of READING a telanovela intrigues you, then this is the book (and i use the term loosely as it's not really a book) for you... just keep your credit card handy. Personally, I feel that splitting up a story in several parts (this particular story-line is three published parts and counting) is a ploy to get people's buy-in to what is actually a mediocre story with maximum profit.The story itself was mediocre at best. The sex was hot hot hot. The characters mildly interesting, but here was nothing interesting enough about the plot or the characters to make me want to pick up the next part. The characters roles are pretty well defined in this installment, it seems pretty clear where this story is going. Perhaps there will be some twists, turns and surprises along the way, however I am not interested enough to BUY the complete story over and over again in bits and pieces to find out. If this book was a literary masterpiece, perhaps I would be willing to pull out my credit card every few chapters to find out what happens next. In my estimation there are very few books worth that commitment and this isn't one of them.Nook Pages: 57
