review 1: These books are well written (plot, story line, flow). However, I have NEVER read 4 books that had so many mistakes in them! At times I had to try & figure out who the character was or go back & reread because the wrong name had been used. Did the author not go back & read her book before she put it online? Did somebody drop the ball & forget to proof these books? I did not read them as individual books, I bout them as a "box" setso I'm not sure if that would make a difference or not. I understand that self published or an authors first books are bound to have some mistakes, and that's ok, but these books were way over the top! All anyone had to do is reread the books before putting them out & they could have easily fix 99% of all the mistakes! Not very hard to do & makes ... morethe author look better & readers more willing to read your books! Since I'm bitching I will also say I really did like these books & where all the stories were headed. I liked the characters & sub plots, the flow & energy. What I didn't like was the instant I love you's(except for Gresh & Lane who had loved from afar for years) a little more time together makes it more real. Thinking it & saying it are two different things. And a personal irritation is when writers say men giggle! OHH it drives me crazy!!! I think only girls or women giggle, men chuckle don't they? IDK, it just seems so cheesy to have a man giggle! Unless he's very feminine , then maybe it's ok. I also cringe when you have a character who is ruff, tough, hard edged & the minute he figures out he's in love or gay that shouldn't change his general characteristics. He doesn't become a soft, giggling, bawl baby of a man!!!!! Lane is my example of this. He starts out as a hardworking, tough, edgy guy & the next thing we know he's giggling, weepy & practically limp wrist-ed! REALLY? Come on, can't he still be the same guy but just one who realizes he can be gay, love his man & still be ruff, tough & hard edged? The same thing happens with Sterling. Maybe I'm wrong, but to me it seems wrong to change a guy from hard & edgy to soft & weepy. I get that finding out who you are or finding someone who loves you for you is freeing but I don't see it changing who you are as a person, your traits. So, I guess what I want to say is: 1. These books have great possibilities! Fun characters, a great story with many twist a turns, it's fast paced & keeps your interest.2. The author HAS to either find an editor, or proof read BEFORE she puts her stories on line! There is NO excuse for a book that is being sold to have so many mistakes & screw ups in it. If your going to put it out without fixing the mistakes it better be for free or put a notice on it that tells me it has not been proofed or edited & then I can decide if I want to chance it or not!It's your reputation Ms. York that is on the line no one Else's! So, it's up to you to make sure your books are edited, proofed or in the exact way that you want them to be before they ever hit the shelves or the virtual shelves if they are to be sold as ebooks!3. Men who are ruff, tough & hard edged don't (usually) become soft, giggly, & weepy.Just my personal opinion :)
review 2: Another great book in this series by author Sara York. Story picked up right where it left off in Texas Branded and I've been dying to find out what happens with Lane and Gresh as well as Riley and Connor. I heard that changes were coming so my mind started spinning all sorts of scenarios LOL. I really enjoyed how this story played out for these four characters and the shocking ending left me wanting more as usual. Jamie, the ranch's foreman, met Kip, Gresh's old college buddy, and immediate sparks flew when they looked at each other. Jamie tries to deny his attraction to a man, albeit unsuccessfully, as he insists that he's not gay. However, one touch and kiss from Kip and Jamie can no longer resist. The sex was smoking hot between them and I was glad that they were able to forge a relationship together. I cannot wait to read the next book in this series! less
