Maybe it was a stylistic thing but there many phrases were made into sentences without a subject and verb. I would have thought a NR hardcover would get special editing attention. I mentioned the other day at Keishon’s blog how editing problems didn’t bother me, but I was shocked to see how many editing issues there were in this book.
“I can promise you won’t sleep through it.” You can catch a quick nap during the act.” Especially, for instance, if your partner’s on the inadequate side. “How do I know? The doctor’s got some sort of holistic tea he wants me to try.” “I am an amazing kisser,” Pete announced. “I’ll get it out of you sooner or later.” After gathering up the plates, Linda-gail sashayed out. Order up.” Reece said when she’d finished plating the burgers, fries, and the little tubs of coleslaw she already knew would go to waste on the high-school crowd. Is he a good kisser”” Linda-gail demanded. “And I can feel my scalp starting to tingle in anticipation of a new crop.” ‘”Hey! My hair’s just taking a little rest between growing seasons.” Pete slicked a hand over what hair he had left. My own love life’s been as sparse as Pete’s hairline lately.” I also think that dialogue can make or break a book. The attraction was instantaneous, but love happened overtime. My favorite part of this story was the development of the relationship between Brody and Reece from attraction to love. Those actions show me more than any amounts of endless exposition that not only does Brody love Reece, but he will love her forever, no matter what, amen. When push comes to shove, Brody is solidly on Reece's side of the fence and never once wavers. Here is a woman who many people believe is crazy. Why I liked the romance and Brody in particular is a bit of a spoiler. He's a surly male whose no nonsense approach to life is exactly what Reece needs.
Brody is a writer who gave up a career at the Chicago Tribune over a year ago. There should be no mistake about it this book contains a strong romance thread. The romance was like frosting on a delectable cake.
Watching this brave, strong woman overcome the trauma of her past was worthwhile even without the romance. One day, while hiking, Reece sees a murder committed but there is no physical evidence to support her and many people begin to believe that her trauma induced mind is giving mass to her terror. Reece is a woman who is living just one day at a time. Her car breaks down and while she is waiting to get her vehicle, she sees a sign at a local diner seeking a cook. She ran away from Boston because of those memories and found herself Angel Fist, Wyoming. How fortuitous since I picked up your book at Costco ($14.19) and read it this week.Īngels Fall features Reece Gilmore, a young woman who suffered a terrible emotional trauma in Boston as she was just embarking on a career as a chef at one of the hottest Boston restaurants.
