Gnome On The Range by Jennifer Zane

2.0

I really liked the blurb of this one, but it failed to grasp me. I did have a hard time with some of the stuff going. I've gotten used to first person POV, but this one just fell flat. A woman that works in a sex toy shop owned by her mother-in-law? There are so many ways that this could have been used in the story. It did, but not as prominently as I thought it would be. Also, there's Ty. He's a firefighter and that just plays in the background. He is so hot and cold with Jane that I couldn't connect with him. You couldn't get a feel for how he actually felt about Jane outside of turned on. Then there's this whole suspense plot. It was very odd. I've read books where there is a small suspense plot working through the book, but one of the characters had some investigative experience of some kind. This was just so weird. It could be that so much was happening out of view of Jane. Nothing clicked into place until the villainous reveal. So, overall, I was disappointed. I am actually surprised that I finished. I think I just kept waiting and then I was at the end.
