Review title: good idea but flat writing
Product review: I was very disappointed in this book. The plot is intriguing and could be turned into a good book if the writing were more mature. I don't read romances but I think this should be classified as one. It reminds me of high school creative writing classes in which the teacher says "okay, you have the plot, now flesh it out with descriptive details." Immature writers include flat, boring details like "he smelled of soap and clean oil," representative of so many of the dull descriptions in this novel. Those details always seem to be stuck in there just because there needed to be some descriptive details, as if a computer could have stuck them in without any passion or feeling for the characters or story. The editors really should have required many, many more rewrites. Pass on this one.
