Fordham Price is just
trying to juggle home, family, and a job while serial dating to hopefully find
a companion so she doesn’t end up alone. Or at least find someone worthy enough
to scratch the sex itch. But she’s not having any luck. Her life gets even more
complicated when a co-worker ups and leaves and her boss drops the book she was
working on into Fordham’s lap. After whining for quite some time, so pulls up
her big girl panties and digs in.
It’s not often I pick up
a book by Red Adept Publishing and end up not liking it. The blurb for this one
sounded pretty good, so I dug in. And found I didn’t care for Fordham. At all.
Man, what a whiner. When her old flame blows into town and picks up with her
like the years in-between never existed, I did not like or trust him. But
Fordham ate him up like he was the biggest, juiciest, chocolate-covered
strawberries from Shari’s Berries.
I love Whitty, Fordham’s
10-yr-old daughter and her mom (who lives with them), but Fordham just got on
my nerves too much to enjoy the book. The writing itself is great though and
maybe I’m being too picky. I’m sure there are others out there who would
sympathize and connect with Fordham, but unfortunately I’m not one of them.
Aw, hate when a book doesn't work out. I hate whiners too! In books and real life.
ReplyDeleteShe may not be as big a whiner as I'm interpreting. Her personality is so different than mine. I couldn't help comparing her to myself and how different I would act in her place. *shrugs*
