 REVIEW

[Anita]

Amazon Rating: 3/5

In Patti's Imagination Rating: 6/10

I have read this author's work for the first time with this book and I have to say that I struggled a lot with it. The story is good, really good. It has character and it has, as my friend will say, good bones. But it's, in my opinion, still unfinished. There should have been more editing and more care given to the sentences. A lot of them starts with she/he. They could have been changed to be more interesting, so the story flows easier, better. 

And another thing about sentences: the author could have molded the short sentences together so it seemed like a longer sentence and as I said above to give a story an easier flow. not just saying in separate senteced what she's done but put it together to make the story richer. 

But even though I struggled with this editing, the story deserved this rating because it was really interesting. And I'm even wanting to read the next one just because I'm curious about the other Collins brothers.

And another thing I wanted to know is why are there so many of his girlfriends there on that ship and why the hell were they all together at his house? Where do they come in. I feel like the author just put them there to create more drama. Her sister, her dad and ONE girlfriend has been enough. There was no need for more.

EXCERPT

Daniel slid into his seat and away from Eric, but his arms remained tense. His brothers wouldn’t like this plan. He didn’t like this plan. “I’m to babysit the spoiled rich princess and keep her away from the cops and the alcohol, this trip.”

He pressed his lips together. He expected his brothers to have an opinion, but silence greeted his ears.

All eyes went back to the door.

His collar grew warmer. Daniel glanced around to stare in the same direction. He assumed Kate Sparrow had stepped into the club.

His eyes scanned the room, and then the crowds parted. He had his first look. Time might have stopped, and he heard his own heartbeat. Brown hair with a bit of a curl, brown eyes, small frame, unusually large breasts for a woman her size, and an energy that took his breath away. He also noted that Kate’s eyes held a gleam, and Daniel’s mouth fell open. Kate Sparrow was the most beautiful woman he’d seen in a long while.

Beauty meant trouble. He turned back to his beer and refused to stare at her.

The pictures in the papers hadn’t done her justice at all. How did they turn that pretty woman into a viper with a camera? His mind raced. Did she have a Jekyll and Hyde personality that came out at night?
