Helpful Score: 2

Once again, this cheese stands alone. After reading the enthusiastic reviews,I rushed out and bought a copy, not having the patience to wait for a wish request to come through. Settled in for the night with a nice glass of wine and happy expectation, I cracked the cover and could barely get through 11 pages. I skimmed the rest and fought back my gag reflex. I know this author has a devoted following, but I found this book trite and riddled with cliches. I'm so disappointed because the plot idea held so much promise. Fantasy Lover reads like an interminable social network chat session with pop slang and internet-esque jingo. Here's my fantasy that I would love; paranormal romance writers skilled in their craft who presume an intelligent well-read reader. On the plus side: 1 copy of Fantasy Lover available soon to fulfill someone else's wish list hold.
