Not The Author For Me
To be bluntly honest, I feel like I read 8 different stories than all of the reviewers of both the collection and individual publications (I took the time to check) which was disappointing - I was looking forward to a new author to enjoy. While I did finish all the stories, most left much to be desired. First the collection is horribly edited to almost laughable levels. All of the stories seemed to follow a basic formula and frequently hinted at information for a character and never came back to it. Several situations were either so far fetched and/or poorly researched (even for a fiction book) it was distracting to what was decent. The adult scenes in the book were often sudden and read very awkwardly to cringe worthy levels. And possibly the most obnoxious feature was the rampant unprotected sex - for one storyline, I could maybe understand, but all eight?? Only one character ever commented on the error of their ways. To those who enjoyed the books, good for you, but I'm glad I only spent a dollar on the collection and don't see myself ever reading books by Crowns again.
