Duds of the Last 4 Months

Books I rated 1 or 2 stars during the last 4 months and a brief comment about why I thought it was bad.

Three Fur All by Crymsyn Hart. PNR menage. My first story by this author, and perhaps my last. I will certainly never spend another cent on her stories. The writing was very juvenile. Could have been re-written by a competent editor, but seems like she didn't have one. The plot was interesting, which is the only reason it got 2 stars instead of one.

Wanted: Handsome Alien Abductor by Myra Nour. Taken in by a cover and a title. Will never spend another penny on this author. Really bad editing (if any) and boring. 1 star.

Above All, Honor by Radclyffe. FF suspense. Boring. Jarringly sudden viewpoint changes. Not believable. 1 star.

Nowhere to Hide by Keyonna Davis. Got this for $1.00 from Amazon. Thank goodness they gave me a refund. it was amateurish and just terrible. 1 star.

Dream Stallion by Kate Hill. I had high hopes for this book, and was very disappointed. It was pretty boring and very predictable. 2 stars.
