Review: Worst book I've ever read
Rating: 1 out of 5

When I purchased this book, I did so because I was eager to read a steamy story with a hot firefighter. Sure, the book had the hot firefighter the synopsis promised, but all other expectations were not met.The first thing that jumped out at me was the very amateurish writing style. I've never fancied myself much of a writer, which is why I prefer to read these stories as opposed to penning one,  but the writing just seemed far too juvenile as compared to every other book I've read in this genre. It was so far below the levels of other authors that I kept thinking to myself that I could've easily written it myself, and that's saying a lot because writing has never been my strength. No matter the storyline being written, even if it had been mind-blowing, I couldn't get past the amateur style it was written in. But the storyline wasn't mind-blowing. Not by a long shot.I'll admit, I've only been reading this genre for about two years. In those two years I'd never read a story about a firefighter. That's why this story jumped out at me. The author could have easily written an addictive and steamy story. I mean, what lady doesn't get hot & bothered over a sexy firefighter? But not once did I find myself hot or bothered by this firefighter, despite him being described as very attractive, nor by anything in this entire book. I kept waiting for the action to pick up, but it never did.This story can only be described as dull, boring, and a total waste of time and money. I've never in my two years reading this genre wanted to quit reading a book, but I wanted to with this book. I wanted to quit at 20%, 30%, and so on. I feel like I wasted hours of my time. I have also never in these past two years written a review; this is my first. I just felt so compelled to write this review to warn off future readers from wasting their money. I know everyone has different tastes, but I can't imagine this being loved by any reader. It is hands-down the worst book I have ever read. I'm not trying to be harsh, I'm just being honest. I don't know how this author has had any success. Perhaps her other books are better (assuming she has any, but I am not familiar enough with her to know), but this one is a completely amateurish miss for this genre. Furthermore, upon seeing the few reviews it had and all of them being 5 stars, I wouldn't be surprised if the author or her friends wrote them. Save your time and money.
