The author is well-known. I gave one a try. The story dragged on forever. I truly thought that I would never get to the end. The murder mystery was ridiculous. With the first murder, I knew who the killer was and that was disappointing. It was not just boring and uninteresting...it also had an ick factor.
The book is about a female firefighter who meets the love of her life and they get married. (I love a Hollywood ending.) Her mother abandoned her as a baby, so she grew up with just her father. Okay, fine. The dad is in the book and he is a great character. Only, about 1/4th into the book, the dad starts his own romantic, um, encounter. He meets the woman of his dreams and they get married. The problem is the book mentions the dad and his new lady having relations. Nothing specific, but still.
Nobody wants to think about their parents having sex. Never. Ever. My parents had four daughters but they never had sex. I refuse to think about that. La, la, la, la, la.....I'm not listening to you! So, it really creeped me out that the 26-year-old daughter and the middle-aged dad are both getting it on with someone...in the same book. Ew. Write a series about the characters, but not both stories in the same book. Isn't there a rule about that? There should be. Overall, I did not mind their love story but it was just thrown at me. There was no advanced warning. Where did those chapter(s) come from?! I like books about second chances, but give me a better description or book cover so I can decide whether I want to read their story.
So, what to do about a bad book review? Should I reveal the title and author? I just do not know......so I did not. This time.
