Review: terrible writing

I hate to be a dream squasher, but if the author wants to have any success, she is going to need to take some grammar and writing classes. The writing was just terrible and does not seem to be written by an educated person. Mistakes such as using "there" instead of "their" are very irritating and someone should tell her that willpower and forearm are spelled as one word, not two. I have never seen so many short, choppy sentences. The book was full of editing mistakes, which is bad enough, but the entire book was so boring and repetitive that at about 88% I finally just had to start skimming to get to the end. How many times do we need to know that his hands feel like sandpaper and she tucks her hair behind her ears? In one scene, Michael's gun is a Taurus and in the next it is a Glock. We read all this crap about the gun and him carrying it, but when he could really use it, he doesn't even think about it. Why even mention it if it does not have anything to do with anything. About 85% of the book did nothing to set the scene, advance the plot, or give insight to the characters. They started off likable and interesting and just became more and more stupid and irritating. She wants a relationship with him, but does not want a relationship with a firefighter, but she likes him a lot, but she does not know, but she does want to be with him, but she is not sure about it, but she thinks they could be good together, but she just does not know......blah blah you get the idea. And that was just in one paragraph, which was repeated several times throughout the book. The author obviously did not do any research on fire departments, police departments, drugs, alcoholism or illegal gambling. It sounds like it was written by someone in high school. The plot could have made a great book, but it was ruined by absurdities and errors throughout. Definitely a waste of time. I feel like I need to apologize for being so mean, but it really was that bad. I dont know how anyone could give it 5 stars.
