The Strictly Business Proposal


I am a new writer and this is my first venture. It's an action romance series of four books, beginning with this one. The stories are set in Wales on the Welsh Celtic coast.

I'd really love some reviews and some feedback on how you enjoyed it.

Best wishes and hope to hear from you,

Nell Grey.

Hi! I just downloaded your book! Love stories based in Welsh so once I have a chance to read it I will know my honest opinion!

Fantastic - hope you enjoy it! x

OK, I got this mostly because it seemed fresh to be asked by the author to give feedback. I, however, found I liked the book more than I expected to like a romance. I did think a few times that this seemed to be a Hallmark movie in words; it was somewhat predictable in that Hallmark movie formula manner.

As a guy that reads mostly science fiction this was a refreshing departure from my usual fare.

I found a few typos and I also had a bit of trouble with some of the Celtic spellings and words, what does "cwtching" mean anyway? Even from the context I had a lot of trouble getting this sorted. And the phrasings from over the pond (I'm in the US) were awkward as well, "span" for "spun" (didn't mark the Loc, sorry)..."stole" for "steeled" (Loc 812) and switching words, which I presume were typing errors only, "her up top" instead of "her top up" (Loc 4106).

I'm kind of a stickler for proofreading. I understand the author's interest in conveying their story, but I also believe the reader deserves respect in the form of strict proofreading and editing to avoid mistakes that could easily be avoided by a careful proofing *after* running the spell checker.

The story itself:
Good character development until...it seemed like there was far too much self-doubt for both Beth and Gareth. Also, maybe a bit of quickly jumping to conclusions. My guess is that one character could be harboring such oppressive feelings, but both at the same time? Hmmm, maybe not so much. A bit more character development could be managed in a longer presentation, but I doubt it would really add anything but bulk to the book.

All in all I feel this is worth the read for those looking for a good romance. I'm actually anxious for the second book in order to see just how life develops in the Welsh countryside by the sea.

Just downloaded the second book. Do I dare start so soon? Oh yeah!

Hi everyone, my name is Amti, a new author. I recently published my first poetry book titled Tales of my Thoughts. The main theme of Tales of my Thoughts is growth, specifically the emotional growth from Adolescence to Early Adulthood. Not all is merry, but if you hold on to hope and have faith in yourself, there is nothing you can´t do. To anyone in need of words, verses of encouragement, I strongly recommend reading Tale of my Thoughts. It is available on Amazon

https://www.amazon.de/dp/1725258145/r...

, and on Wipf and stock
