Review: Poor editing made it a difficult read for a book that had more to it

Tristan had a temper that came with violence (and not in a sexy BDSM way).  I was immediately uncomfortable (uncontrolled violence does that to me) but pushed through as Kendra felt he could be saved and sometimes the best books come from an uncomfortable place. I wasn't sure Tristan was worth saving because he seemed arrogant and dominating, not necessarily bad, but he was also manipulative. I hung in there to see if Tristan would be saved or whether Kendra would be lost. Her relationship with Tristan cost her in her family/friend relationships, her job, and a part of herself.  But she persevered and...well you would have to read the book.However, reading the book comes with a horrible price.  Early in the book, there was novice spelling errors (they're/their/there) that a spell checker would not have found as they were spelled correctly if not used correctly.  But as the book progresses, the editing gets worse and words that a spell checker would catch start to become more rampant (e.g. diclous - for delicious, in erotica it easily could have been a misspelling for something else).  There was so many stops and starts for me because of the editing errors that I was miserable by the time I finished it and ran to the computer to write the review.  However, I ask myself why I finished it.  Probably because there was promise in the story and I slowly started to come around and maybe start liking the story and even Tristan.  However, as is, I can't recommend it. I don't know that all books need a professional editor (although every book is better with one), but the author needs to at least find a friend who excelled in High School English/Composition.
