Discovering Dani

The female lead was somehow a naive innocent bashful woman of 25 who despite raising two younger brothers for the last 9 years appeared to have absolutely no understanding of male/female relationships and interactions. The male lead was slightly better written, but still fell flat. The couple faces ridiculous issues in their relationship that are either essentially skated over or are non-existent issues that one or the other of them overreacts to. The antagonist was a cliche and poorly written as well. Lots of wasted potential there. The dialogue is laughable, people don’t really talk like that. And from what I can tell the entire story takes place from about a week or two before Christmas to maybe Valentine’s Day. The bits of the story I wanted to read were left out or only had a few sentences of explanation and then the story dragged on after it should’ve ended so the author could “resolve” the antagonist plot line in a frankly eye rolling way. I got this free as part of a whole “discover a new series with the first book free” and I have no intentions of reading the other books. Can’t do it. This was just not well enough written to bring me back for the other books.

If you like cheesy Hallmark channel movies then you might love this book. Very cliched and too many stupid misunderstandings.
