About Terrible Book Cover Reviews:
I judge a book by its cover and see if I was right or not.
Look at that mustache.This book was boring.
Jacelyn has come out to the Arizona Territory to look for her brother, a map-maker for the U.S. Calvalry, in order to secure her inheritance. Along the way she is captured by bandits and taken to a ranch. This ranch will be the setting for 90% of the story.
Grant is the "Chief of Scouts" and commands many Apache scouts for the cavalry. He witnesses Jacelyn's capture and joins with the bandits in order to keep an eye on her. Grant is one of only two redeeming qualities in this novel. He is interesting and has some humorous interactions with his scouts. There are also a few somewhat interesting interactions with Jacelyn, but these are few and far between.
Jacelyn and Grant's chemistry is virtually non-existent.
Jacelyn is completely incapable of saving herself. On at least five separate occasions, she finds herself in a situation where Grant must save her. And the few times she tries to save herself or help Grant end disastrously. There is no character growth throughout this entire novel, and ultimately she just falls flat.
The main setting feels as though it could be picked up and placed in any time period, in any place and still be the same thing (just with a few words changed around). It feels completely generic and uninteresting, and this is where most of the story happens.
Ratings:
Hotness Level--5/10; the sex was decent, despite the lack of chemistry, though it was too sparse to completely redeem the novel.
Overall Rating--C-; without the sex, this novel would have received a solid D. It isn't the worst thing I've read, but there is little to recommend it.
