I certainly support self publishing, but at a minimum do a freakin’ grammar check in Word (or whatever software program you are using to write your book). And, if you have a friend, ask them to read for editing. That’s the least you can do for a reader. Geez!!!
This story had so many writing errors it was a hot mess. Honestly, take a look at my examples below and I’m pretty sure your jaw will drop.
High level overview:
- Sally & Paul meet, 30 minutes later comes the first “passionate” kiss, less than 48 hours later they are saying “I Love You”, maybe a couple weeks later they are married and from there it’s constant sex.
My Thoughts:
- There were no "zings", "sparks", or "electricity" moments before the kiss. So, having the kiss so early didn't work because there was no chemistry build up that made the reader buy into the attraction
- The female character was a 26 year old virgin. 😏 Ugh! But once she gives up her “V card" they constantly have sex. There is a TON of sex in this book.
- Cheesy, eye-rolling sexual dialogue. Example: ”Want some sausage?” He pushed his hard dick between her thighs, nudging her pussy. “Maybe some gravy for your biscuits?” OMG..🤣🤣
- WTF???
"The look she gave him once ol’ babe was let loose was flat out delicious." .
“Ol' Babe"????? He named his 🍆 Ol' Babe?? Is that supposed to be sexy??
- ”These cabins can last a couple centuries if maintained well and built on a strong foundation.”
Really??? A couple centuries? wow!! That's some really, really good log home construction. 😜😜
- No character growth They were flat and one dimensional
- There was a low angst story here that could have been ok, but the execution was buried underneath some seriously bad writing issues.
And, speaking of writing issues, I’m rather speechless. There were so MANY problems.
- Page 1 was the start of the grammatical errors. ☹️ Yes, I said Page 1. Geez!! Too many commas, commas in the wrong place, run on sentences, incomplete sentences, switching from past to present tense. 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
- Somewhere along the way the author stopped using pronouns to start a sentence. So instead of saying "he wanted", "she saw" or "he groaned" the sentence just started with "wanted", "saw", "groaned". Example: "Groaned when baby blue lace came into view."
Writing Examples:
I'm just going to provide some quotes and let the writing speak for itself. These examples are not shortened or edited in any way. This is word for word from the book. And, the examples below represent pretty much 99% of the writing. It’s just unbelievable:
- "Well every time you smile and your dimples start showing, all I can think about is rubbing my nipples in the little grooves.” Huge toothy grin shined up at him. Eyelashes batting. “Nipples and dimples!”
- "He growled and set her off his lap as gently as possible, under the circumstances. Oh no, does cir-cum-stance have cum in it."
- "I was impressed with you before, but it is way more than I expected.” She laughed. “That sounded innuendo-ish huh?” Snickering."
- "It wont be nothing to have it rented out pretty quick."
- "Laying back down on his chest and kissed over his heart."
- "Finishing up his dinner, he noticed she hadn't ate very much. “Wasn't real hungry?”
- I'm starving. I didn't eat the amazing dinner Paul made me last night.” “What he make you?”
- “Try to learn him some manners.” OMG!!!
- Here’s a good one....”Funner"....hmm🤔🤔That's not the only thing wrong with this sentence
“Right, smarter to let me figure it out on my own, lots funner.”
- How about this....
“Aw, you should of said something, let's find some real hearty food to eat." .....The proper way to say this is "should have". "should of" is not the correct English.
- “Hate to of had the grocery bills for you as a kid.”
- “I wouldn't of had you miss this at all.”
Why did I read this? Well....(1) it was free; (2) once I realized how bad it was then it was like a train wreck and I couldn’t look away;🤷♀️😬 (3) some reviewers commented on the over abundance of sex and I wanted to see if there was really an excessive amount; and (4) as soon as I read page 1 and saw the writing problems I knew my opinion was not going to align with the higher rating this book had so I wanted to finish so I could rate it.
So, I will say I agree with the other reviews that said there was too much sex (which just became repetitive and boring after awhile). But, my bigger issue was the writing. This book was a hot mess.
My recommendation....don’t waste your time.

Hot and sexy Xmas tale.
Cute story. Lots and lots of sex! Paul and Sally fell in love at first sight. It's good to read happy ever after stories. Real life is tough enough and you need a story that gives you that warm feeling inside.

This book was a cute and sweet read! It was an HEA with a love at first sight trope. It had some private jokes, humor and LOTS of sex. Paul and Sally were adorable together, and it had a Christmas theme that put anyone in the holiday spirit. Paul's description was right up my alley as he was likened to Paul Bunyan with his plaid and beard and lumberjack look and Sally was a sweet, dainty little redhead. There were family moments shared and a little drama. Overall it was an easy, no conflict kinda read. I enjoyed it but personally, I wish there had been less sex and more character development, more suspense, but if you want a spicy and sweet holiday read this book is definitely for you! Well done, Zuzu!
