Review: simply off of my previous enjoyment of Love Script

Honestly, there is nothing I can say in this review that was not already well-detailed by another reviewer. I was eagerly awaiting this book, simply off of my previous enjoyment of Love Script. While I see some similarities in the overall characters in this book and Love Script, it seems as though the characer of Elliot has taken the alpha-bastard thing much further than Nick Sinclair did in Love Script. Elliot is very clearly dismissive of the position his strong attentions to Thandie place her in, personally, professionally, and emotionally. He comes off as uncaring of her feelings and desires, only worrying about his own wants and needs. The friends he surrounds himself with, Matrix and Nico, came off as perversely creepy, which perhaps unfairly, made me think of Elliot in the same way. Thandie was also very weak, though she initially tried to fight off his advances, she ultimately succumbed and recognized her error in doing so, but was still dismissive herself of all the good advice others tried to give her. Character issues aside, the story moved at a slower pace for me, despite me general love of a long book. Additionally, though this book was published by Harlequin, I was suprised by the number of grammar, syntax, and spelling errors. Overall, this book was ok, but not a favorite.
