Review: Hmmm....

I read the reviews before I "purchased" the book. I didn't actually purchased it; it was free for a limited time. A few things:1. $3.99 is way, way too much for how short this book is. It's not a book; it's a short story. I know self-published authors often have to charge a bit higher due to editing, cover artists, etc so they can make a bit of profit. However, there is no reason to justify a price this high for a story this short....which leads to...2. There was no editing at all. No proof-reading. One could tell that just by the first paragraph....which leads to...3. There is no story. It's pretty much prose throughout the story with maybe some dialogue. And that dialogue was few and far in between. It did take away from the love scenes. Speaking of which...4. There is a right way and a wrong way to write erotica. When you have to use medical jargon in describing the body parts, you're better off not writing it at all. The love scenes were very robotic and stiff, as if the author didn't like to write them. Please. Just don't include them. The author could've written a very nice romance without the inclusion of love scenes.As much as this book is one-star worthy, I do believe the author can improve greatly over time with more practice. I don't know if the author reads reviews but in case she does: I highly recommend people who she trusts to give her their honest opinion about her work. I also recommend hiring an editor and if she can't afford one, have someone with a background in English to glance over it. I have a lot of faith in her and I hope she does well with her next book.
