Review: Mediocre quick read
Rating: 3 out of 5

This is a wanna be category romance with every trite cliche thrown in.  The cat was cute,  the H was okay and the h was a TSTL doormat  but the H's family pretty much takes the cake as the most obnoxious ever.  They figure it is better to beat the crap out the H for mourning his dead wife, for which he feels an incredible amount of guilt due to the circumstances of her death, as opposed to getting him some therapy or maybe some emotional support.Throw in an obvious jerk potential suitor for the h and some saccharine sweet would be BFF's, (apparently every character but the H and the jerk has to be overly supportive, manically cheerful and interfering ) and the story you wind up with is conventional, repetitive and basically just okay.  There were parts that had real potential but for the most part the book just fizzled with a small sizzle during the sex scenes.The writing itself is readable with no big errors or typos. This doesn't save the story which seems to be a retread of hundred other better plotted category romances  and really doesn't inspire more reading in this series.  I would advise the author focus more on erotic romance,  her sex scenes were good, had humor and did a lot to raise the rating of this book from one to three stars.
