Decent but too many instances of words that run together

I just picked up the trial today. I like a lot of what I saw and made it through all the humor, but I have a problem with the missing spaces between so many words. I've seen it on Kindle books too. This seems to slow my reading down and reeks of poor editing skills.

This sweet Regency is a forced marriage narrative with an appealing hero and heroine. It's a good entry into the format, but the writing suffers from the writer's misuse of words. Example: "I should have realized society would conjure up several nasty inflictions for her...." Obviously, the word the writer meant was "afflictions."  And here's one of her recurring misuses of nominative case in place of subjective: "... she had to if she was to keep both he and Reggie safe," when obviously, the word needed was "him."

These errors are forgivable in narrative but less so in spoken speech, because a duke and duchess of the era would have been schooled in proper grammar.  Each time, it pulled me out of the story and forced me to think about the grammar.

Nonetheless, I was rooting for Daniel and Eva and was pleased with their happy ending. I also really enjoyed the dowager grandmother.

There is some reasonably good information in there but, you have to sift through an enormous amount of unnecessary anecdotal fluff.  There is also the matter of grammar and typos.  While I am not (as demonstrated by this review) a grammar expert, I do expect a certain amount of care from an author to make a book readable.

The book starts off well with a courtroom incident that would have people react in many different ways, but Boswell's reaction was simply superb, and an example for the readers.

However, the book quickly devolves into page-length balloons of politically correct vs. incorrect statements. Pp 55, for example, says:

Don't say: "You're scatterbrained."
Say: "You made an error."

That is all there is on this page! Next page:
Don't say: "Don't you dare."
Say: "Please don't."

This goes on for far too long and one can finish the book in about 30 minutes.

The most time I spent was on pp 132. The author asks us to say "Whom may I say is calling?" instead of "Who's this?" or "Who's calling?". I had trouble parsing the "whom" part in the recommended sentence. Applying the learning from this book, I would say, "Boswell, could you have possibly made an error of hypercorrection?"

Hypercorrection or not, but how does "Whom may I say is calling?" supposed to "get your way"?

This was an interesting read but at times it seemed to just be making up the word count.

After a while, the endless whining by the author gets tiresome.  He tells in excruciating detail his daily life and all the things that either don't meet his expectations or he finds annoying.  The people and events we must deal with every day are far from perfect, but we must figure out how to get along. That's life; get over it.

The book seriously needs a professional editor.  Fortunately, the grammar is pretty good, but there are often thoughts repeated in successive paragraphs.  Saying it once makes the point.  Saying it twice is unnecessary.

The story is good, however, some of the wording is repetitive. The word "bastard" is overused. Also, Jill's profession changed from banker to physical therapist midway through the book. The error doesn't affect the story but is an error all the same.

too much introspective stuff that appears to be in the book to make it a larger book than need be

Not too bad, but it tends to spend too much time and effort in non-essential fluff.  Without giving spoilers out, an example is it goes on and on and on naming each and every item that is locked up and labeled by a child in one of the stories.  The second item I didn't like relates to how I just referenced it.  It really feels much more like a collection of short stories than it does a cohesive story overall.  In fact, I was surprised when at the end of one of the short stories as I call it, it just ends.  The End.  Nothing more.

Too much of the book consists of the author dropping names.

It's okay, but too many descriptive run on sentences. Characters are constantly added to the story, but not well developed. I wanted to stop reading this book, but decided I would try to give it a chance. Thank goodness the last couple of books I read on Kindle were good, because I miss reading well written, well edited books.

I think that the author did a decent job writing this, but the editor needs replacing. It's clear the author isn't a native English speaker, so the incorrect sentence structure is unsurprising. It's also distracting. The other big issue for me was that on several occasions it seems like a word was replaced based on a synonym search. Unfortunately many words have more than one meaning and the editor didn't make sure the meaning stayed the same.

But it's a decent story. Until the cliffhanger.

Mixed feelings about this story.  In some ways it's great--some very well-worded paragraphs and moments of internal philosophy (which I as a writer look for), and a good, solid mystery that kept me guessing. However, as far as I'm concerned there's an inexcusable amount of foul language.  So one of the characters is a slimy bottom-feeder--does that mean we have to listen to his incessant barrage of F-words? I think not.  Beating the reader over the head is a sign of writer's inadequacy.  Also, I have quite a background in usage of the Spanish language, and I was completely disgusted by the number of misspelled and misused words.  If Mr. Page is as great at research as he is touted to be, why can't he put in a little extra time in making the Hispanic slant of the story sound a little more authentic? All in all, I'm not really sure I will go on to read anything else he has written.

Meh, I find the author's (incorrect) overuse of a thesaurus difficult to get through, and the odd use if italics throughout is annoying. It can't be all that bad though, because I'm in the middle of the third in the series.

The author shared good information, but she repeated the same information over & over. The book would have been 20 pages shorter if it didn't have soany repeats. Plus, it was hard to read at times bevause of sentence fragments, comma splices, and run-on sentences. She says she has written other books; I hope she used an editor on those.

The plot was good, but the unnecessary use of so many "4 letter" words seem to be overused and abused.  The characters in this small village were well developed, and could be used in future books.

While reading this book, it came to my attention that a lot of words were repeated and sentences also. Other than that this was a very good book.
