Title: Author has shortage of vocabulary
Product review: The story could be interesting, if not for the obnoxious overuse of the word derision and all it's forms! For example: "She challengingly withstood the derision...", "Brice realized derisively", "... she mused derisively", etc. The author doesn't seem to know how to find her thesaurus to look up synonyms or to just leave the word out and describe more body language instead. The author used the word on nearly every other page. It was distracting my attention away from the anticipation of where the story was going and how the chemistry of the characters was played out. The editors really should have caught this, unless, of course, it was their fault the word was so abused.
