Today's review is on All Access by Karolyn JamesAfter reading All Access I decided to check the reviews on Amazon. I already had my opinion, but sometimes I like to see what others think about a book that I feel needs a bit more work.To be honest, I was shocked to see how many 5 star ratings this book actually had! What happened to the editing? Did the other readers not notice the many mistakes throughout the text? Do readers just not care anymore? Sorry, but this reader does.Jess is quite surprised when a devilishly handsome man not only pays for her coffee but also asks her to bring his to the table in the corner where he'll be sitting.  She is even more surprised when he asks her to join him. She doesn't yet know that in doing so, she has set things in motion that will change her life in ways she never imagined.The beautiful woman that sits across from him captivates Johnnie. The best part is that she has absolutely no idea who he really is.  The lead singer of the band Chasing Cross.Jess's friend has tickets to a concert. She was going to bring her boyfriend but their relationship fizzled out and now she has an extra ticket and asks Jess to go with her. Even though she doesn't even know who the group will be, Jess accepts the offer if only to make her friend happy.The music begins, the band comes out, and the stud from the café takes center stage as well as Jess's heart.I have read a lot of novellas over the years so I'm use to the quick pace of boy meets girl, attraction is instant, passion flares, and low and behold true love is born. However, even though I enjoyed All Access, the story seemed a bit too rushed for me. Will I continue to read the series? I'm not sure.I would have loved to give All Access at least a three star rating but there were just too many mistakes. I've said this many, many times before. Invest in a professional proofreader if not two.2 of 5 starsAvailable at Amazon
