If you read this review, keep in mind that I'm reviewing a self-published e-book, not a professionally edited and printed novel from a bookstore. Keeping this in mind as you read is important because I would give this a 3.5 or a 4 star rating if it were professionally done. The author has written a few books, mostly focusing on erotica, so no one should expect this to be the next great American novel.That said, I loved this book. Referring to the title of my review, I found myself just skimming over some of the sex parts just to get to the next part of the actual plot. I was pulled in by the character of Dylan. Hunter is the main character, and he was well written. I prefer 1st person narratives because I like to be inside the person's head. I liked knowing what character is thinking, and it was nice to see the thoughts and motives behind Hunter's actions.Anyway, back to Dylan. Dylan was a secondary character (although a very important one), and the more I read, the more I wished that I was reading his story instead Hunter's. Don't get me wrong, this was a great book, well written, very few errors, and most of the characters were people you could either relate to or care about. I just kept wishing I knew what Dylan was thinking.$2.99 for a 300+ page book that kept me turning pages is a great deal, and I'd definitely recommend it to others. I bought Wild Horses and am looking forward to reading it before moving on the author's non-erotica works. I think "D. River" has a lot of potential, especially considering I purchased a book for the erotica and ended up caring more about the characters than the sex!
