I should have DNF'd this after the *statue* turned her on within the first two pages, and if not then, it should have been when he visited her in her dreams and referred to himself anatomically as a king about to enter her court. Or, better yet, I should have not picked up this book at all, but curiosity got the best of me, and I was determined to stick it out until the bitter, bitter end.
It was bad. Not in a fun, campy way, which it absolutely could have been given the plot. Just bad. Nothing worked. The insta-lust left very little room for character or relationship development, the side characters lacked depth, random bits of information were thrown in at the very end just to plug some obvious plot holes and convince the reader that, if there was to be a sequel, they should tune in. Alas. Authors should be required to learn the difference between "showing" and "telling" before they send their books off for publication. Editors shouldn't be afraid of telling an author when something they've written sucks. Here is a prime example of another book that could have been good if the author just knew how to structure a story!!!!
Unfortunately, and unironically, the best part of the book for me was when he ended up with a job at Medieval Times, because it made me want to go back to one of those places.
Sometimes it's okay to write things for ourselves and never publish them.

A just fine romance novel. You'll love it if you live in Chicago. I want more on Jason and the secret society for creepy museum items!
