Review: Too many errors for such a short story!

First off I did like the story as a whole. It was a nice little romance with a little mystery between Finn the Cop and Max the Fireman. It was really short and would have been better with more length to flesh out the story better, but since I got it for  $0.99 cents it's a good buy. However I suck at English comp and I noticed a lot of errors. There were multi sentences that had words missing so I had to read the sentences several times to get the meaning. Also the book is about Americans in America, yet there were many words that have spelling used in England not America. Ex: Realise instead of realize, recognise instead of recognize, coloured instead of colored, humour instead of humor, two-storey instead of two-story, etc... Also in America we don't say go to hospital or Finn's in hospital, etc.. we always put the word the in front and say Finn went to the hospital or Finn's in the hospital. This may not bother other readers but it kept dragging the story down since I kept spell and grammar checking. I understand the author is from England, but if you're going to write a book set in America about Americans please use American English and grammar usage. Also I noticed a big oops in chapter 10. In Ch. 10 top of page 2 it says Max saw Finn arrive at the scene but later on pg. 5 of same chapter it says that Finn went to follow Max out of his front door but he opened it to Neil who pushed him back into the kitchen indicating that he never even left his house so how could he have arrived at the burning cabin behind Max? It really needed another edit, but as I said it was only $0.99. Not sure I will continue the series since the following books are $5.59 each and still short in length. I will however buy Texas Family in Oct and Montana 1: Big Sky Ranch in Dec as I am a fan of RJ and the Texas series is really good.
