It is all Shiloh Walker's Fault

So...I am pretty new to Twitter and followed my fave authors.  I highly recommend this!  You get first notice on new books, sales and giveaways.  It is also entertaining.  I started following some of the authors that had funny exchanges with Ms. Walker.  I then started reading their books.  Hey, if you can be interesting in less than 120 characters, I thought I would hit the jackpot in book form.  And I did.

Now I am a Twitter junkie and my Kindle and bookbag are fat while my bank account is much smaller.  Thanks Shiloh!

Seriously, if you are an author, get on Twitter and chat with your fans.  It makes us feel special.  Please do not bombard us with publicity....one or two tweets is enough.  Careful with the abundant re-tweeting too.

If you have not read any of her books, go buy some right now!!  She writes in all sorts of romantic genres and is just amazing at what she does.

The Story Guy by Mary Ann Rivers

Just buy this.  Seriously.  Buy it and read it.  It's short but powerful.  I cannot remember the last time I was weepy over a hero (in a good way).  This is just a story about true love, both romantic and familial.  Oh, and it is HOT!!! I am almost at a loss for words.  Cannot wait for more by this author.

A+ all the way!!!

Dead Sexy Dragon by Lolita Lopez

I had such high hopes for this book with it's amazing cover and interesting storyline, but the first paragraph should have clued me in.  When the story opens, the hero is washing and drying his dishes.  I personally love a domestic man, but that is a strange and boring way to begin a book about an alpha hero.

I kept reading and the author did suck you into having feelings for both the characters.  Everything was going quite well until the writer decided to suddenly dump all the hero's secret backstory onto the heroine at once.  Not only that, but the heroine was okey-dokey with him being an immortal dragon.  There was no angst, no hesitation.  It just was not realistic at all.

Immediately following the unveiling of the secret, they have sex.  It seemed rushed, but I kept reading until I found the most glaring error I think I have ever stumbled upon.  I just do not see how the writer and editor missed this.  While the girl was giving the guy a blow job, he was whispering in her ear.  No, he was not in dragon form at the time.  That actually could be physically possible.  But unless he had a magic spine....

I HATE to give up on a book.  I will keep going through almost anything.  But right after they had sex for the first time, they each professed their love for each other.  Ok.  The secrets are all out, they've had sex, they are in love and know it, the hero has the financial and magical means to get the heroine out of her dilemma....why keep reading?

So I stopped.  This would have been an ok short story but there just seemed no reason to go on.
