Title: No story here at all
Review: As an aspiring writer trying to get published I am in shock that something like this has actually found itself in print. This book is realy a series of soft core vignettes strung together in the guise of a story. The book's jacket promised much, the heart wrenching tale of a young woman, still raw from a divorce and the death of her stepson, returning home to heal and find solace on a beautiful ranch in Montana. But there really is very little story here, the characters are cariacatures, their motivations and behaviors wildly improbable, the type setting shoddy and the hero's name changing from Jess to Jerry inexplicably at one point. It really is a shame. The author definitely knows how to create mood and her descriptions are sometimes beautiful but the constant, repetitive sexual encounters become tedious because of their frequency and thus lose their power to move the reader.
Is the review positive or negative?
