My rating: 1 of 5 stars

I've been reading this off and on during the day and made several notes in the process. I purchased this off of Amazon after seeing it's rating in the top 100 for Kindle. It's rather new and I decided to jump on the bandwagon before (or if) it took off. So, here we go.

Things I couldn't stand
Why the hell does Andre feel the need to act like some damn professor every five-freakin-seconds and explain to the reader (in detail) about every little thing. I'm dead serious. For example:
He was on one knee before her, and he traced the long thin scar just above her pubic area. "It was the cesarean operation that made this mark." Well no shit dude.
"There is botox here..."
Was it really necessary? I question this. How does Andre's examination of Jennifer advance the plot? By showing us just how "wise" Andre is? No. See we've already been reading how wise he is for the last 70 pages. It honestly felt forced. His dialogue was so...fake? I believe that is a good word to use here. No man, French or not, talks like that anymore. Unless this book was set in the 1800's and it's not.


And why the hell is Andre so obsessed with women who have given birth? WTF? It's like reading a pamphlet the doctor's give expectant mothers during their third or fourth visit of what to expect. No joke or exaggeration with this. That's what it felt like reading some of this. I thought a doctor was telling me "Now this is there because of this reason and that is there because of that reason...."


Oh please.... "You have so much wisdom that I, as a man, could never hope to know." All of this because the woman has given birth? This book is making it out like a man should bow at a woman's feet because she has given birth. PERIOD. I'm a woman and I respect birth, okay? But that's a little ridiculous.

By page 197 I was calling it a day. The French thing killed it all. I was tired of reading the foreign words ect...I was tired of reading "yes, no?" Or some other gibberish that came out of his mouth. I didn't feel any connection between the Mike and Marcy.

I should have waited until more reviews came up on Amazon to tackle this, but I was looking for something to read. That was my first mistake. The writing was...okay. Just okay. It wasn't something to go crazy about and shout "It's beautiful ect.." Some phrases sounded awkward and other's seemed to fit alright. Too much information was given in certain places, not enough in others...It was hot mess and I don't care if I'm the only one that gives it a low rating. It's my opinion.


CONCLUSION: 1 Star
(1) it was unorganized.
(2) Some big words seemed like they were shoved in places for the sole purpose of being just that, big words. At times I questioned if this author knew what she was actually trying to get across.
(3) I don't need to know he kissed her toes, foot, hip, hand, ankle, arm, neck, hair, fingers, ass, breasts, cheeks, thighs<--literally data-blogger-escaped-a="" data-blogger-escaped-add="" data-blogger-escaped-and="" data-blogger-escaped-book.="" data-blogger-escaped-br="" data-blogger-escaped-didn="" data-blogger-escaped-everywhere="" data-blogger-escaped-exactly="" data-blogger-escaped-few="" data-blogger-escaped-going.="" data-blogger-escaped-going="" data-blogger-escaped-he="" data-blogger-escaped-her="" data-blogger-escaped-impact.="" data-blogger-escaped-in="" data-blogger-escaped-it="" data-blogger-escaped-kept="" data-blogger-escaped-kissed="" data-blogger-escaped-like="" data-blogger-escaped-my="" data-blogger-escaped-no...a="" data-blogger-escaped-sentences="" data-blogger-escaped-simple="" data-blogger-escaped-sufficed="" data-blogger-escaped-t="" data-blogger-escaped-that.="" data-blogger-escaped-that="" data-blogger-escaped-there="" data-blogger-escaped-unnecessary="" data-blogger-escaped-ve="" data-blogger-escaped-was="" data-blogger-escaped-were="" data-blogger-escaped-would="">(4) A lot of repetitiveness going on...Normally I can overlook this if the plot has me going, but with this book I couldn't.
(5) The main lead (Marcy) was weak and it was a pity party.
(6) Plot=unrealistic by far. And that's putting it mildly.
(7) The chapters were weird. First person POV is difficult to venture out of with other characters. I think it should have been written in Third Person because of the constant character changes. (Aka Trent ect.)

So...I wash my hands of it. I had one hundred pages left and didn't finish it. I couldn't. It was a clusterfuck. Would I recommend it? No. I couldn't in good faith recommend this to anyone. We're all adults here. It's a hit or miss and this one was a MISS.
