Wilderness Heart, Jacqueline Hopkins (2 stars)

I pride myself on not judging a book by its cover, so I dove into the book with no expectations, good or bad. (Note about the cover: my nine-year-old asked why I was reading a book about Ken and Barbie with brunette hair.)

I can even put aside poor writing and editing mistakes for the sake of good story, but this one was an uphill battle. I wanted to care more for Lyn, a female hunting guide facing constant male judgement, but the writing was long-winded and the editing mistakes glaring. I implore writers to make sure they pay an editor with good references to look at their work prior to publication. Never hand your reader a reason not care on a silver platter.

There was potential for the main character, and I had a soft spot for her father, but overall I was disappointed. The sensual scenes were cheesy and lackluster and the conflict was downright flimsy and overplayed. Lyn smokes and cusses, oh my!
