Entertaining but needs editing
584847
The overall plot sounded interesting and I became invested enough in the premise of the story to keep listening to the audio book. However, the book wasn't without some glaring flaws, repetition being the biggest issue. For example, the author disclosed through Columbus' POV that the explorer was Jewish, then Berry proceeded to regurgitate the same information with the introduction of every new character. Tom Sagan was a likable enough character. His daughter, Abby was too stupid to live, a very unlikable character, one I found tedious to the extreme. The only character I thought had dimension was Rowe, the Jamaican business man. The book was in desperate need of editing.

I would have given this book 5 stars for its entertainment value alone if I hadn't been so distracted by the grammatical errors. I couldn't ignore the continued use of "than" rather than "then"! This book needs some editing but the storytelling is good and I enjoyed the humor.

For 99 cents the books are entertaining, although this character plot is growing old.  Since Peters seems to be cranking out books as fast as he can write, better attention should be paid to the editing.  Sometimes words are skipped or misused, and on many occasions the character names have been mixed up.  A character that was killed off in the last chapter will suddenly be talking to Jake Stone, then on the next page the character is back to who it should be.  See about getting a new proof reader.

I enjoyed the story. The first couple of paragraphs really grabbed me. The book really needed an editor for spelling, typos and grammar. I liked the book, and would recommend it but at one point I actually wondered if maybe the author was mocking the reader, with the grammar and spelling, trying to see how much s/he could get away with. I realize that's a really random thought, but I honestly thought it several times because some errors were egregious. Bight is not bite and periods don't go smack in the middle of a thought. If those things bother you, you might want to wait until the book is cleaned up. If they don't, it was a cute YA contemporary.

I found the plot of this tale interesting, entertaining and gripping (but not too tightly). The characters were well developed, with nuances added as the story progressed. Although I had the culprit pegged early in the game, it was entertaining to discover how the protagonists figured it out. I am looking forward to the opportunity to read additional stories in this series. There were times I felt that the narrative got a little bogged down in fleshing out the environment, thankfully those times were few in number.
I always have to comment on the editing/proofreading of a book, while good editing cannot make a poorly written story better, poor editing can certainly spoil an otherwise good book. I found the editing in this book to be well done until the final few chapters when a few flaws crept in. It was almost like the editor was in a hurry to get this project done and just glossed over the final few chapters.

This series is fun, sexy, interesting escape fiction, and at just a little over 100 pages each, they are basically a quick distraction for an evening.  However, they seriously could have used more editing for spelling and grammar.  Within a few
seconds of my current reading I have caught at least three glaringly bad spelling errors that seemed absolutely cringe-worthy to me.

This is a very entertaining and fast paced novel as long as you can get through the major editing errors.

I enjoyed reading this story, however the editing flaws distracted from the overall enjoyment. I found myself trying to edit as I go. Not good. But because the plot was intriguing and its subplots intertwined nicely I gave it a four star rating. It's worth reading if you don't mind the distraction.

This story is a fun, name-dropping jet-setting little  romance with some witty moments, but it's in desperate need of professional editing. Spelling and punctuation errors along with misuse of some words could be easily fixed by a sharp editor's eye and earn this book a higher rating.

There is plenty of fun to be had as Caine shoots, slashes or sleeps his way out of every bizarre situation. I gave the book 4 stars because I didn't want to discourage people from the series which I find quite entertaining. However, for some reason the grammar errors are far worse in this book than the other two combined. It also seemed to get progressively worse as the book went along to the stage that I had to start making assumptions to what the author was trying to say. It became very distracting. I know the author promised readers the book would be ready in May but I can't help but think he would have served the readers and his own cause so much better if he delayed the release by a week or two so that it could be properly proof read.

Although I enjoy the series, if the next book's editing is this bad, I'm not sure I'll be able to finish. Hopefully, this book is a low point in the series for proof reading.

All in all the book was a humorous, entertaining read.  Not really a book that I would typcially read but I enjoyed it from cover to cover.  The only real problem that I had with the book was the horrifically poor editing and/or proof reading that went in to this book before being published; (and I'm not really that picky when it comes to stuff like this - everyone makes mistakes or misses something here or there).  But there were just too many errors to over look in this book.  I mean when I have to go back and reread a sentence several times to figure out that a mispelled word is what caused the confusion - oops - then someone missed something critical.  Numerous times sentences were repeated back to back, words were left out or mispelled, and they were obvious errors - so for that I take issue with the publication.  But the story, the author - excellent, enjoyable, entertaining read all the way through.  So read it for the story and you will not regret it.

The story was enjoyable sometimes.  Some of the plot devices were a little overdone.  It certainly needed a good profreading, not to mention editing--a lot of misused words and "apostrophe's" almost killed it for me.  Self-published authors don't have editors; I get that.  However there are plenty of style and usage guides out there.  This author has a lot of potential as a stortyteller and would really benefit from some nuts-and-bolts work on her craft.

The storyline was very different and interesting; albeit a bit disjointed at times. I think the author is rather creative. The MAJOR flaw, however, are grammatical errors and incorrect usage of vocabulary. I found myself to be very distracted by these flaws. I would suggest some top notch editing the next time around.

While I liked the plot and characters, the book needed a good editor. It is clear that this is the author's first novel as there are many places with needless descriptions of mundane activities. A good editor could have cut a quarter to a third of the book without losing any vital elements, making the book flow at a better pace. The book also needs a proofreader, but that is unfortunately too common with e-books these days. All that said, it is an enjoyable story with some interesting characters. And it shows promise for a new author.

The story arc is entertaining. Characters are actually pretty well developed. However, the jumpiness in the language and many mistakes are taking a lot away from this series. A few of the things that irked me the most are jumping between characters, locations and events every 3 sentences, wrong character's name being used out of the blue (Sasha->Petal) making you wonder if this was an example of the aforementioned jumpiness in the writing style and some unnatural flows. When something happens to a limited amount of characters where they acquire new information, characters that weren't present for it shouldn't have knowledge of the said information in the next paragraph and talk about it. Some of this "throwing code" at things is also a bit unimaginative.

Storyline is good.  Characters are likable and reasonably well developed for a short book.  The editing is pretty bad though - enough that it can be quite distracting from the storyline.  I'd actually like to read more of this series, but unless he finds a new editor, I'll probably pass.

This is readable if you can get by the numerous editor errors. The story goes pretty well and is interesting however major portions are repeated and the ending is abrupt and not well developed in my opinion. It certainly begs for a sequel, though I am not sure I will be reading it as the editing was not conducive to an easy or enjoyable read.
