The mistake a lot of authors make is putting stuff out that just isn’t ready. It either needs a lot more revision or it needs to be scrapped as a practice project. The proliferation of epubs means that just about anything can find a home somewhere, but that doesn’t mean it should.

When I went to look for it, I couldn’t find Kim anywhere on the internet any more. Her page is gone. Maybe she decided to be smarter than the average writer and not google her own name and do other horrible things to herself.

You forgot to add the link where you can get it.

I am a fangirl even though I have no reason to be–or my reason is lame: I haven’t read her books, but I love Kimberly Holt-Whitlock’s voice and personality in her blog and her notes. I have to buy her books. I haven’t read them because the TBR pile is piled deeper and higher than any pie.

I find it hard to imagine that people who are so likeable can keep that quality out of their writing. (dammit, amiable is important!) I’ll find out if I’m deluded as soon as I can figure out where I hid the books from myself.

This book came with the following on the copyright page:

Warning:
This book contains graphic sexual material and is not meant to be read by any
person under the age of 18.

Now maybe I’m being overly specific in my interpretation but to me, ‘material’ says “This book will feature some sex scenes.” ‘Language’ says, “In this book they will cuss or talk about sex instead of having it.”

You may want to make your labels quite clear so readers know exactly what they’re getting.

What you said about the author’s writing, especially her sense of humor, is intriguing. As I noted, I’ll have to be on the lookout for her other offerings.

I think the hero role goes to Drake Valenti, Hadley’s lawyer, but we don’t get enough of him for it to be persuasive.

The author can write, there’s nothing technically wrong with the way she puts words together, but her characterization and plotting need work. I would definitely look at something else from her, though, because I liked her sense of humor. I wanted to know more about Claire and her loud family, to be honest. She was the most interesting character.
