Gnome on the Range by Jennifer Zane
3.0
This book has an identity crisis first of all. So, the title (Gnome on the Range) is stupid and the cover looks like a homicidal gnome is going to be stalking the plains. However, evidently since I "bought" this book, they changed the cover to a stock photo of a guy and a girl in an embrace, looking longingly into each other's eyes and changed the title to the super bland, "Waiting." It's not updated here, but it is on Amazon and Shelfari.
The story is silly, but readable. I can buy that someone would look at a phial of viscous material and say, "That looks like sperm." I can't buy that they'd look at the phial and say, "That looks like cow sperm." Seriously? The villian is over-the-top. You expect him to twirl his mustache and cackle. The heroine is TSTL and the hero's just annoying. Yet, still I read. It kept me engaged when it shouldn't have so it earned back a star just for that reason. Still, not reading any more of these.
