review 1: The writing was decent but the characters and storyline weren't very developed. Also, the author was from the UK and some of the vernacular words or expressions from there was displayed in the lead characters speech. Twenty something American women don't usually use the term lovely to describe meals and situations and don't say rubbish so much. I didn't like all the talk about auras, karma, and astrology. At one point she described the man's voice as smooth as treacle - which is a molasses like syrup from the UK. I guess I'd say to the author stick with what you know. You could have made the female have deceased British parents and her speech wouldn't have come across as ill fitting to a twenty something girl from Orlando. Also, I didn't like her best friend. Maybe it was ... morethe fact that she was a gold digging, shallow, call girl/prostitute.
review 2: Hired was a fun and sexy read that definitely made me want to go to the beach so badly. Although it was an enjoyable read, I did find a few inconsistencies that bugged me a bit. I know that another reviewer mentioned that a sea anemone doesn't have needles (that would actually be a sea urchin), but there were definitely a few others inconsistencies in there as well. So moving on, I think that both Brooke and Logan were great characters, and I loved that Brooke mentioned early on that she wouldn't be taking the money. Logan was a bit of an asshat at first, but he then developed into such sweet and wonderful guy. One could say that the plot was a bit on the predictable side, but I think it was still a fun and sexy read that made me want to read the next in the series for sure. :) less
