The Promise of Provence by Patricia Sands

2.0

I just want you guys to know that I read this, fully, because I was SO AMAZED that a book could be SO BORING! Amazon opened up their prime subscribers library recently so I poked around and found a book to read in about thirty seconds--"romance," "france," sounds good. OH MY GOD YOU GUYS, the most boring! Not really a romance novel with a plot so much as a book to make middle aged ladies want to go to France. Like a travel advertisement. It explained a lot when I got to the end and the author's note revealed that she'd planned this to be a standalone but based on response was now going to turn it into a trilogy. Oh my GOD!! I know I know much more talented writers who haven't gotten a book deal and it's because of ding dongs like this lady. I'm sorry some dumb publisher stumbled into an online writers' group and decided to print this instead of your much better thought out, planned, book.
