I hate to give bad reviews, but I couldn't even finish this book, and that's a rare for me. I usually try to finish a book even when I don't like it, but I couldn't bring myself to do it for this one.

The conversations and thoughts of the characters were juvenile. Examples include "If I could just get my Johnson to play cool and stop actin' the fool..." and "Say what, bitch? I don't know what you talkin' bout."

There were also instances of words that were run together, such as "Lincolnthought adamantly" and other grammatical issues.

Honestly, there were so many characters and different story lines jumping around so much I wasn't sure what was going on and what the plot was supposed to be. Maybe if I finished it I would have figured that out, but I simply couldn't do it.

I hate to say it, but I can't, in good conscious, recommend this book. There are plenty of other paranormal series out there that are well-written and actually have plot lines you can follow along with that would be better worth your time (by authors Carrie Ann Ryan, Rebecca Zanetti, and Vivian Arned just to mention a few).… (plus d'informations)

This book reads like a 12 year old from the 90s found a thesaurus and decided to gleefully throw words together. With that said, I will admit I laughed more at this book than I have at any other. The character descriptions, the painful sentences, the eye-roll inducing dialogue and cinge inducing sex-scenes were almost too much.

Some examples:
"His hulking six foot four inch frame blocked the doorway. His thick, mahogany, James Franco-mimicking-James Dean hairstyle mussed from a frustrated comb through with long, strong fingers."
"He looked all kinds of crazy-sexy-cool with his right leg bent outward at the knee and the foot resting against the column at his back. His other strong leg was straight."
"Viktor’s bark was combined with a hiss."
"Viktor bit down on his canines"
"...had leaned back to nurse one corner of his cushioned seat..."
"His smile made his cheeks beam."

And randomly, proudly bolded and italicized in the middle of one page: "He shelved his pride in the face of Lincoln’s hard core sex."

It just gets worse from there. A few typos, a random use of commas, grammatical issues here and there are one thing ... but so many words are used incorrectly or strangely, such as "nurse one corner of his cushioned seat" or "Bodies gyrating so close together the heat deference caused Mat’s shades to fog up" and "he retracted his phone from his pocket."

I could go on. And on. This book has more examples than I have room in this review. The plot - such as it is - has ... stuff? And things? Information is thrown at us and never dealt with, random characters step into scenes as though they've been there all along, with no introduction or explanation. There is a confusion of scenes that is supposed to serve as a plot, but as I read I got the impression the author either expects us to know what's going on without having to tell us, or has no idea, either, and is just writing as fast as they can.

If you paid money for this book, I'm sorry. In my opinion this book is in no way ready to be published, not even self-published. However, it made me laugh. I didn't laugh with the book, mind you, but at it, so I'll give it it's one star and warn people to stay far, far away from "And The Heart Grows Fonder."… (plus d'informations)

I was given this book in exchange of an honest review.

This book seemed to jump all over the place. First the characters are intimate then the next page, a whole list of new characters are introduced, fighting to get female lead character away from kidnappers. There is no background on the characters or why she was kidnapped. I think the author tried explaining midway but still felt I was missing a key point. This has a great storyline but details need to be added. And the only romance was two sex scenes otherwise it reads more as a thriller with gun fighting and gory details.… (plus d'informations)
